It's amazing how things happen.
One day you're telling someone about it...
The next day it happens to you...

Mysteries of life.

NJC concert was great.

Reflection of the day

vanity fair??

Looking good is definitely a big business here in Singapore. It is even seen in schools.

Somehow, looking good is a FULLTIME job.

Physical appearance aside, we're also obsessed with our reputation - how others view us and what they say about us. So we are careful to say the right things and be seen with the right people.

That's the idolatry image - the vain obsession with ourselves, our reputation, our standing before men.

The god of image demands a lot from its devotees. The quest to be popular and well regarded is an endless one. There will always be someone new to impress. You will have to try harder to outshine another person. Looking god truly becomes a fulltime job.

Before long, honesty and integrity go out the window. To sound clever, you may sometimes have to plagarise, and steal someone else's ideas. To look cool, you will have to stop associating with certain types of people, like the poor, the uneducated, the uncouth pre-believer.

Have you been seduced by the god of image?

Are you obsessed with how others perceive you?

Have you been pretending to be smarter or more spiritual than you really are?

Do you fish for compliments?

Are you easily upset when others misinterpret or misunderstand you?

I know I HAVE.

Dear Lord, I have been such a fool. I have chased after man's praise, i have forgotten the most important thing is what You think of me. Have mercy on me.
