Dinner with College Friends

   I had dinner with college friends yesterday. And there was three of us and the menu was rangmeyon. one of us was suffering from a little serious illness including almost all of his family members, and the other was quite silent since he has served in a church. All the talking was concentrated on a difficulty how to cope with many patients in a family simultaneously. However, at least, at first glance, it didn't look that hard. He was talking like he was not threatened by this kind of the sudden crisis at all, and it appeared to me that he was not losing his objectivity. But as his voice was getting louder, I felt he was going through a deep tunnel. The more I got sympathized with his story, the more I got curious about why I was into his life story. Because the other friend didn't show that much enthusiasm so to speak. At any rate, all I did was something like saying 'Hang in there. you will get over it' while shaking hands.

   Some thoughts came up to me suddenly at the last moment. We all have own version of a bridle of life to be confronted with, although we are eager for letting it go easily.
