Here is something I wanna share with you!

It was the day after I saw this quote ‘ we discovered that owning things, consuming things doesn’t satisfy our longing for meaning’ from 20th century women movie, that I get robbed.

I was in a crowded place where people walk in  close distances in order to pass certain area. The theives came close, surrounded me and took my wallet from my bag. I was shocked, sad, frustrated. I started to address blame to myself for not being cuscious enough, for being gullible, for being trusting, for being human..

Luckily, I always keep  small amount of money in a separate pocket in my bag, that was how I get home.

After deactivating my visa, and  dad sent me money, I had a chance to think of how fragile our lives are. We can be disturbed by losing a piece of leather that contains plastic cards. I thought about the permenance of things. I am so much attached to my clothes, my phone,my visa card, my ownings, and that was the core of the problem.

Everything  can be replaced, and everything has an end. You can lose everything at one second, and there  is no vivid  manifestation of this truth other than death. Sudden changes in our momentum of life , and unpredicted  incidents that carries us away from our plans for the future are usually a reminder for us to stay present, and to be  humble, simple enough to believe that we can’t control everything.

Next day’s evening carried some good news. The hospital I am doing my check ups in called me. Someone found my wallet  near a mosque gate -apparently, the thieves only wanted the money and left  my IDs inside the wallet in a mosque  as a sign of being a theif with some kind of courtesy – , and from the hospital ID he figured out that I may have a file with my phone number in the  hospital’s database.

I went to meet the man, and the encounter was so emotional. I deeply thanked him for being interested in doing  a good deed like that . His eyes was filled with tears, so was mine .  I couldn’t believe that thoughtful, righteous, and honest people are still  living.

But the truth is that bad guys exist, good guys exist as well, and it is a small mysterious world with so much evil, yet abundance of blessing.
