'we're right in the midst of our prime, yet we're one tackle away from flipping burgers' - munez, GOAL(2005)


watching that show(GOAL) made me think quite a bit. aside from the fantabulous array of skills that pleased my eyes, i learnt more important lessons from it - like how our talents in whatever aspects are so temporal, and how they seem to be able to fade away at the quickest instance. i'm reminded vividly of how God is able to bestow and withdraw his given talents so easily, especially in my life. how he can make one gain glory for that instance, and reduce him to watching from the sidelines in another. its been a few months now, and somehow i feel as if my hamstring isn't completely healed - maybe i'm living on the edge or just maybe i would never be able to go back to where i used to be.

then again, i'm reminded of weikong. how he's braving the odds and restoring his life back to normal. but normal isn't just the word cos i know he'll never be completely the same again. he'll never be that rugby giant people once saw him as. and i'm fearing a parallel in my life, and i'm sure at some point everyone seems to be contemplating that thought. one fine day, we may wake up completely right in the mind, but losing total control of all our faculties. there's uncertainty looming in each and every day. and its the fear in all our hearts that grip us - no one wants to be that way.
