"When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means. There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard."
The above is the message I attach to my outgoing emails. Ironically, the person who needs it the most now is none other than yours truly. You see, a freak accident caused my HK apartment to be flooded (yes, 5cm no less) ; other than discarding all wet and spoilt furniture, electrical appliances, rugs and beloved shoes, I thought I had gotten a few dagger stares from neighbours for flooding the corridor and causing them not to have any flush water for 5 days!
A softie as I always am, this time, I surprised myself by not crying... well, not immediately, at least. I finally broke down today after 2 days as I sat down in a totally empty apartment after hours of cleaning. I'm not exactly sure what the tears were for but looking at this incident from another perspective, what is the lesson God wants me to learn from this?
