The Nature of Truth
Truth, by its very nature, is not always a comfortable, pleasant thing. Sometimes you'd rather not know the truth. The truth will not always agree with what you think. And the truth will continue to be the truth independent of what you want it to be or don't want it to be.
You can choose to believe a fact, an opinion, or a religion, but it's not guaranteed to be the truth. And, even after being confronted by truth, you can go on believing in something contrary to truth's evidences, but it won't be the truth that you're believing in. ((Don't you find it amusing that in the same way you can believe in truth you can also believe in a lie? In fact, it's easier to believe in a lie because lies are often more comfortable, more acceptable, less absolute, and safer.)) If you've always been entirely comfortable with certain a truth, that should be an immediate red flag. All truth takes some degree of acceptance.
Truth exists. And truth is going to be the truth independent of you, regardless of what you think, feel, or want. You don't like it? Well, you don't have to like it. That's why it's the truth.

Well, that's still good that two of you believe in God. Both you and your mum can support and encourage each other! And that's excellent that your family still respects each other highly, even though differences exist in your religious beliefs. How wonderful that is! ^_^ You must have the most magnificent family in the world, very kind and proper and full of empathy~!
Yay! *dances* Haha, that’s one hurdle down, yes? Now, the excruciating wait to see the results of your interview is here, yes? xD *teases* I'm glad it went well.
As for me? I don't know. 0_0 I haven't had to take an interview yet. I will find out this summer, because I must go exploring into nearby universities. I have to choose a uni which will both accept me and be affordable. X_x
Aw, my friend. :( I'm sorry you had a failure. Does it regard your management position of the college channel or radio broadcast station in you school?
And you know, my friend, everyone fails sometimes. It's hard and horrible to fail, but no one is entirely perfect. If you try to be entirely perfect, you will only damage yourself. After all, you can learn more from one failure than a hundred successes.
Besides, you useless, bad, piece of trash, you're still my best buddy~! ^_^ Haha, you'll always be my best buddy whether you're a good helper or a useless loser. *huggles* You can fail as many times as you have to -- you'll always be my best buddy!
(Haha, besides, you've never looked like trash to me. You're much too sparkly to be trash! =P)

Yea thanks so much ^^ I love feature and celestial things ^^ as you’ve gotta know that long ago haha XD yea so I really wish if I could have seen a seraph ‘cause it’s pretty cool … alas I’ve gotta know that the somewhat a hierarchal chart to show the level/hierarchy of the angels established by Catholics was abolished years ago … therefore I don’t know if there will indeed be any seraphim in the celestial places XD haha
By the way I’m sorry my friend for being that long yea you might know that I’d got pretty much work to do in the school and this is probably the last semester I can study in this college everything seems going fast but when you’re in the midst of the work and the semester you will just feel that you’ve playing in an atrocious playground lol time always seems to be interesting you sometimes think it goes slowly but sometimes you can’t catch up with it you have to admit this haha XD do you think so?
Yea I’m glad that dad can consider and understand the religious belief mum and I hold ^^ and luckily mum is also a catholic that I can share with and bolster her and so does she together ^^
Lol you made me cry my buddy ^_^ thank you … thank you so much ^^ yea I really wanna hug you back ^^ hee~ you’re the one who always gives me support … especially when failure comes over me … yea frankly … besides what happened in the near end of this semester, there’s another piece of bad news very recently … yea just two days ago … alas … I wanna get into a uni and study the course that at least I’m willing to study. Yea you know what … I seem to be suffering a bipolar disorder lol XD I’m always depressed … and somehow … I can be manic. Yea mania and depression, come one-by-one … but now seems depression is the one that always gets into my body … oh my … please I just wanna be normal and do what I wanna do … what’s more I don’t think what I wanna do will be hurtful to the world, at least to others … I promised God I wouldn’t be arrogant one I’d got that qualification given … I promised … please … please let me hold it … please give it to me … I wan’t use the word ‘deserve ‘ but I really wanna have it possibly.
You know what my friend I indeed try my very best, I mean … the best of best through my life in these two years in the college so as to seek for a nice seat in an undergraduate program ... that government’s financial aids can be involved. I just wanna have this and that’s all … I mean … I’ve paid so much effort but why can’t I still get what I at least want?! I don’t know if I deserve it but I just wanna have a try … I promise I will do it well and humbly. I know of the feeling being looked upon by others … I’m not born in a rich family but a warm and harmonious family … this is what I cherish most of all … and I do cherish it … even right now …
But I also wanna go to that uni and attempt that course … God, what else do you want me to do so that I ca get it?! I’m just afraid if you will over-estimate me … that I might not be that capable to deal with the ordeals you’re giving me …
Haha tell you something my friend … I always act like strong in the college … but I weep with myself in my heart when I’m alone … when hide myself … shhhh~ don’t tell others that I can be such weak haha XD others always think I’m good at this or that … think I’m like a superman … but actually I’m not .. yea I’m just an ordinary boy … a little boy in God’s embrace ^^ that’s all …
