Pilgrims in Zurich

About half an hour before my exam. haha or presentation.
Made my nice slides as usual, on Singapore!
I really wonder what the teacher will think...
Tomorrow another presentation.
Then on Wednesday the biggest exam remaining.

There's always a big exam remaining.
That said, this trip and experience has been wonderful.
Nothing short of thanks to Uncle Chung Chi and Auntie Pooh Li, Uncle Frips and Auntie May for arrangning the many lunches and dinners for us; plus the amazing home group that we go to; Susan esp. for being so friendly, and even church.. I do miss Pastor Richard; the most respected pastor i've ever seen in my time (by me). He has great balance, amazing tone and articulation; and the warm spirit of a "father".
But there are sad things that come and go; that all you seek for in unity, has been disbanded by disunity. And its sad to hear what happens around, and what is happening around.
I remember reading this book which was titled, "If standing together is so easy, why is it so easy to fall down"?
And thats exactly the fact. And you wonder.

People fall down, because we are weak.
And everyone wants his/her own group.
Everyone wants their life to be secure/to be safe.
But then again....

The concept of love and service, is to help others before yourself.
To help others at the expense of yourself.
And to help those that need it.

What i don't understand even more, is the fact that everyone thinks so "short-term"
Is life just about the next 2 years, or the next 5 or 10 years? Or even the next 30?
This i don't understand, yet i'm very sure many don't understand my POV as well.

All is fair and love and war, and is less fair in a game of love and war.
But its love that rules; and not yourself.
