On the 22nd January, before coming for the CAPA (Clergy Archdiocesan Pastoral Assembly) Meeting, I stopped at the Archdiocesan Single Adults and Youth Office and Campus Ministry (ASAYO) in Bukit Nanas, Kuala Lumpur. I parked my car at the porch of my office as usual and went quickly to fax a document. Just within a few minutes someone broke into my car by smashing the window and stole my bag which I kept at the back seat of my car. I had a few clothes, books, my recent thesis, and medication in the bag.
When I parked my car that afternoon around 2.30, there were two drug addicts sitting under the porch. I guess they were the ones who had broken into my car. I was so upset when I saw my new car window broken. Pity!
Actually, I don’t blame them. It was my mistake. I was too careless. Leaving my belongings at the back seat of my car tempted them to break in. Even though there was a security guard around the compound, this still happened, what to do!
Bad things always happen within seconds and we start to blame ourselves and curse others. At times loss of personal belongings make us helpless and regretful. Breaking-in into houses, cars, other incidents are increasing everywhere. They happen to us even we are so alert. The thieves have set their minds in committing crime in order for them to survive. They don’t have mercy or compassion towards the victims. They always walk around thinking with their heads and NOT with their heart. We just have to be prepared to face these kinds of realities.
What is given is given and what is lost is lost. Everything happens for a reason.
