Today marks the end of my thirty days self-imposed gag on this blog.
The self-imposed gag came about as a result of my being so frustrated with people whom I met who think they can somehow take with them all their earthly wealth when they meet their maker, and their unwillingness to share. Had I not have a self-imposed gag, I'd have been venting out my frustrations at them here. Thus my last posting Naked a man comes – simply quoting the wise King Solomon.
I had hoped that King Solomon’s quote would solicit some discussions amongst readers of my blog and I am glad it did.
It resulted with a number of lunches and coffee sessions amongst friends and friends of friends. It is really amazing and most heart warming to note that there are also generous souls out there who are there for their family as well as for their friends and the less fortunate.
The results of these get-togethers are financial pledges from these generous souls to sponsor three bright young Malaysians to further their higher educations. These bright young Malaysians are victims of our unjust education system that even with great results ie straights A's they could not get into public universities and their families simply don’t have the means to finance them for higher education.
Now they can, thanks to the Good Samaritans.
In addition, a bonus was received this morning – a kind soul had agreed to sell his empty shoplot at 50% below market value to a charity organization or simply to let a charity organization use the shoplot rent free!
“A generous man will prosper, he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” Proverbs 11:25 NIV
