Friendship.
Saturday, June 26, 2010
Even I, as a complete stranger and bystander to the whole story, felt touched by the short video clip that spanned mere minutes. I saw how each and everyone of them were willing to give their all just to fight for the 'glory', even though it was the first day they've met.
But it was not the glory they were going after. It was the friendship that has bonded them so tightly together - the earlier generations had passed on the flame of friendship that was burning so brightly in their hearts and positively influenced the fresh ones, igniting the same flame in them.
Bit by bit, I've come to understand the frustrations surrounding R. I was jealous of his friendship, because I thought he valued them more than me. What was I thinking? Of course he would - these are the people who have gone through shit with him, literally. These are the ones who've shown him their selfless love through their actions. They stuck with each other, encouraged each other and were there for each other. They even drank juice from the same bottle with a tiny opening using straws............ but I digress.
If I could turn back time, I'm not sure if I would have the courage to take part myself. But I'm glad R did. He is exposed to an experience like no other, something not every student, or even those who participated in the same camp, would have. He opened his heart and in turn, broadened his mind to become an awesome friend. No wonder he is such a popular figure everytime. No wonder most of them enjoys his company.
Who am I to control his destiny?
