From the moment I woke up and realized I had a good 8 hours of rest for the first time this week; to my whole day at work when my cranky-ass boss perked up at the sight of me - the same me who hasn't been showing up at work for 6 fucking days; and to me being $200 richer for selling off my phone to my other boss. And the greatest realization that December is finally here.
It's official, God reads my Twitter.
The Almighty One also does miracles like no other boss, because he is THE boss - and for that, I surrender all my gratitude to You.
..and also for this guy, God.
And having said that, where one finds time to celebrate the privileges in life, one must also learn to lend compassion to the woes of the world; not a moment too soon as today happens to be World AIDS Day. On first December, kind souls everywhere unite against douchebags who have ever been hard towards someone living with AIDS or HIV; to bring understanding to people who are so widely misunderstood; to shed light and kindness on circumstances so terrible and tragic.
It's a shame to see a global commemoration such as this reduced to nothing more than another global commercialization at work, likened to Christmas. I feel that much of the educational value is lost within the sea of merchandise; the symbols become largely meaningless behind the price tags. When social marketing becomes a poor pretext for generating revenue, what are consumers really buying? Certainly not the brand's dedicated support to social causes.
Think about how lucky you are by God's grace. Think about those who aren't.
