Shallow and superficial

The party on Tuesday was incredibly swarming. The only setback was the music, I am sorry to announce that Hip Hop and R&B is not my cup of tea. The only consolation was some nice pop music at the later part of the night.

You can see many species of hominid, fascinatingly observing them in action. Some were cruising while others were in pairs. Sometime I really wonder if the pairs still find irresistibility in one another. Others were very obviously looking for “multi-nights stand”. What’s that? Well, this is a lingo my friends use to describe “a friend who enjoys special benefits). No string attached.

There were some gorgeous people around. Parties usually need to have pretty faces to draw some crowd though. It is an ART to wear pretty faces as masks. Conversations were shallow; the “Hi” was plastic. What do you expect? People are out just to have fun. Yup, have fun, having fun flirting. It’s like collecting medals to boast about. They have abundant affections and attention from these pathetic fellow mankind, following you around, like bees to honey. They are hoping that the medal bearing their name would be placed in a more obvious location on your body. Well, both are willing parties. It’s pretty amusing game to play. You like it you stay, if you don’t you leave or better, start another one yourself.

Where can you find some sincere people around this time? Tough luck.

“The sweetest notes among the human heart-strings are dull with rust; The sweetest chords, adjusted by the angels, are clogged with dust; ……”

Where can you find real people?

Love, affections and attentions from people who adore you are so easily available these days; I sometime take these privileges for granted. I regard these as privileges because I see them as God’s favors. I don’t deserve them but it is His Grace that I am enjoying it. I am constantly reminding myself and meditating on His Sozo. I thank God for my wonderful family and friends; my business and my customers; my pair of hands to create more beautiful works in His glory; I thank Him for giving me a heart that can still love and be loved. That is the greatest different between a child of the world and a child of God. I am not perfect, I am nothing, but at least God still loves me. Only in Him I can find real and true joy. Hearts may fail you, people may hurt you, He will never.

Well I am going to another party tonight. There will be more interesting stories to share. Cheers.
