Today I "sorta" finish reading that pyschology book (with reference to a previous post) which I have been keeping from the library for 6 weeks! Awww... a long time, but I really didn't find the time to flip the book. So I just had to selectively read when it came to the later chapters. Too much details and too much scientific terms make my brain works slow. However it has nonetheless enlightened me - about how our (negative) emotions could arise, manifest and affect us in the destructive way. It also tells us about cultivating compassion through mind training in order to make ourselves a better person to this world.
Friday night, I took the usual 1130pm company transport home. I prefer the 1130 bus driver than the 1100 due to some encounters (not going to go into this). Anyway the 1130 uncle is very friendly, he always greets with a smile and has a fantastic memory. Every time I board his bus, he would very quickly recall my block number. Oh well, to shorten my story...
I alighted from his bus, Friday night... I was his last passenger. At the car park, there were 2 Chinese guys (sounds like they're from China from the accent) walking behind me to my block, waiting for the same lift. I felt a little hesitant, one I have never seen them around, two I would be alone in the lift with 2 strange men who might rob me! Maybe I was paranoid, but the bus driver noticed the situation too and he did not drive away. Instead he was there waiting to see if I was safe. I decided to go with my instincts and waited for the next lift. I felt the kindness of the uncle (the bus driver), I waved at him after the 2 guys took the first lift to signal "I am safe and you should go". So kind, I suddenly felt there's a guardian angel around me:)))
