Of Friends and Hamburgers

The need to update my blog, but however much I try, the spirit does not come to me. Sometimes it's just hard trying to figure how to put the words in your head and arrange the jumbled words and phrases into a coordinated and understandable way.

Well, in the end, this post will turn out to be a post that will soon be forgotten and burned into dust.

One day, a group of friends decided to go on a trip during their semester holidays right after their examinations. Two of them had reasons to go for the trip while another just wanted to tagged along and let loose for a while. Albeit he has activities to be done right after the trip, he decided to follow the other two, just to be sure. After all the things that has happened during the past few months, he was a bit worried and thought he would help out. Was it a noble move or a idiotic move, no one could tell because he himself could not figure it out.

During the trip, the one who was suppose to drive felt sick and so, the friend who tagged along offered to drive. Although being worned out because he had to do some errands and had awoken early in the morning, he withstood it and drove throughout the trip until the one who felt sick was better and ready to take over the wheel. The two passengers did not sleep the whole journey because they were afraid that the driver would have fallen asleep too and they tried to talk to create an upbeat and jovial ambience into the car.

The three friends finally arrived at their destination an immediately unpacked their belongings and had their dinner. As usual, after dinner and hanging around for a while, the group of friends decided to have their supper and chose a nice and cozy place to enjoy their tea and bread. During that supper, one of them started to feel sick right on the spot. He lost his appetite and will to talk. The pain was just too hard to bear for him. The pain did not end there and it stayed there with him throughout the night.

The next morning, when he had awoken, he was a bit glad that he did not feel that sick anymore. During breakfast however, he felt sick again but remained calm and regained his composure as he did not want his friends to be worried. During the night after their dinner, they had hamburgers as their supper. Only 2 of them wanted to eat while the other was very full. The one who was sick ate the extra hamburger although he was not feeling well and it ended up making him even sicker. The pain continued for two more days before it completely subsided.

Sometimes it's not how much one appreciate what you've done for them. It's the pleasure you find when you are able to help someone. You should never hope for anything in return for the things you've done voluntarily for someone. It's just a one-way ticket and if you wan a return ticket, you've got to work for it, not hope for it. However sometimes no matter how hard you work to try to achieve it, you just can't reach it.

It shows that, what you've done is completely enough and there is nothing else that you can do. Things should remain the way they are and you should not do anymore that you've done. It's good to care, but care alone is not going to get you far. Learn to give and take. Never keep giving continuously. Sometimes you need to take some back to. Having the ability to do that, you will soon be liberated and you will not be hurt by anyone, anything, anywhat anymore.

That's the hidden message behind the above story I've just written. But worry not, it's not originally written by me. I'm not capable of doing so. I just merely copied it from an article in the internet which I saw and wanted to share it with you all. =D
