when we depart......
Today's moonlight, is apparently the brightest! (according to Fareen) I do agree that it is rather bright than usual, just didn't know that its the BRIGHTEST! cool!
Which let me to think, even if i am still rather far from graduating from high school, this particular topic seems to be well spoken of and being under concerned by numerous form 4's.
The time will come, when we depart from each other. The time, could be even now. One of my earlier post i wrote about "legacy", about leaving a mark in the next generation. But now, i don't want to talk a legacy, i want to talk about impact.
Every bomb that blows, gives a significant amount of impact. An impact would create an impression, that will be seen forever. (unless someone covers the hole, =]) So basically, the impact causes all the marks that can be seen.
My life ever since form 2, has always been about impacting people. It all started very gradually, from normal talking, to letters, to email, to blogging. But why is it so important to impact people? I think it all started when i finally understand God's love for everyone. Adding on to that, a very old movie called "Pay It Forward". If God loved everyone, what more I? I want to impact others through love, so that one way or the other, they will be able to learn something meaningful. They can forget who i am and how i look like, but as long as they remember what they have learnt, i'm more than happy. But what pushed me to really do this was partly because of this show "Pay It Forward" Basically speaking for itself, instead of helping others back in return, why not help others. Its like pass on the love, not return the love. understand? he counted, if one day, each of us helps 3 people, and that 3 people helps another 3 people each, and then those 9 people helps 3 people each, and so on, in 14 days, 4782969 people are being helped, more so, impacted. WOW! This is what really pushes me to impact people's lives! So that hopefully, whether what i say its useful or not, somehow, it will help them be a better person!
The time will come, when we depart from each other. But as long as this time has not come, i want to impact as much as i can.
Yet some of you who are reading this, has already departed from me physically. Change school and etc. You know who you are, and i hope that all these while that i've known you, i have been able to impact you in any way, and you haven't left empty handed.
Well, whether you're leaving, left, or going to leave, i pray that you will not leave empty handed.
The moon will always shine at night, let us stop to think of time spent together, after all, its the same moon that you and i see anyway.
Impacter (cheh wah...pride destroys =])

"Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight..."
