"The Day of Bodhisattva"
When somebody strikes you, it is difficult to turn the other cheek. It is pretty sad to admit that I have a few friends whom I would never like to see again. Besides, I have already lost touch with quite a few friends due to their bad attitude to me. These breaking-off relations obviously derived from my unforgiving nature against rudeness and stupidity. People can change, but I can't help but I am ( I know somebody calls me bitchy).

Though I may be selfish, I have really felt, once in a blue moon, like suffering fools gladly with no specific reason. The moment seems to come unexpectedly. I named such a day "The day of Bodhisattva( a Buddhist saint )" and I was on cloud nine on that day so that I could forgive anybody.

I am craving for the day of saint. On that day, I will be kindhearted enough to encourage a downhearted person fed up with life, to send e-mail messages saying hello to those who are in the doghouse with me for a slip of the tongue, and to get up and finish all the pending asked favors. I will do anything.

"The day of Bodhisattva" does not come easy, however. Unfortunately, I usually spend " days of Amanojaku( a devil )" weighing on my mind. I wish I had the day of saint everyday; I know I am asking too much. When my dream comes true, I will be out of this world. Wait a minute! I do not want to be out of this world yet.

By the way, you haven't got a pardon message from me yet? Be patient! The Day of Almighty God is sure to come to me.
