Really love the Nat Geo mag issue this month.. about king herod and another article on how a health systemm educateds the untouchable caste women in india to become health workers.
The latter issue is so touching i almost cried in the train.. the pure fact that really women are treated worse than rats, after all the pain they bear.. how humans are treated in such a sub standard manner is disgusting. the leader of the women health worker, babi Sathe, how she was beaten by her husband, endure the birth pains, leprosy and being chased out of the house treated less than a rat in her life and having only a sari as her possession, to now having a second chance in life in being educated about medicine and health care. She is one of the richer women in the village now owning 2 houses, jeep etc. Quoting her one sentence she truly says it all: " I was like a stone with no soul. When i came here they gave me shape, life. I learned courage and boldness. I became human being. "It's not about being powerful or rich or famous, but the one main happiness , is to become a human being... gosh...
Anyway, just so happen i've just finished class.. and i was telling God.. Frankly i don't know what His perception of Tkd is, but i really thank God i took up taekwondo.. to be able to have an avenue to vent out your frustrations, emotions and unnecessary concerns, to know you can have a goal in life, something you are passionate about, that is one of the best feeling i have. That during the times when i'm emo, i can let it out at the target and heavy bags and lose myself in the lessons. In the class there's no such thing as you are rich or poor or popular or not, Ceo or just a admin staff, there's only a difference in belt level. I don't like to know that i can worry about useless things like relationships or upset about how some ppl treat me, but i like it that i can bash it all up in class. thank God for letting me have the chance to take tkd up.
