PhD in Divinity major in Fun

I am lucky to have been in this place. People are courteous, polite, hardworking, highly industrious,who works without being told to, are disciplined, and most of all, honest and humble, who think of the greater welfare more than he thinks of himself. I feel good being nice here and be, uhm, just like them without any feeling of resentments. I didnt ever feel like having sharks around waiting to take advantage of my kindness when I do good. People try to match up the any thing--be it kindness, a thing-- they receive. It feels so good to give and receive.

I am happy to have been able to contribute and cooperate in collective efforts, to be a responsible member of the laboratory, to do things on my own, to be obedient, even without the reward of recognition, much more, applause. I am happy to have been the least and just stayed in the background--even to the extent of being discriminated against (I am the only foreigner in the lab). I am simply happy to be the most ignored and least valued. It feels good when the spotlight is not on you and the world around you doesnt care what you do and what is happenning to you.

On the other hand, too much immersion in gimmicks and fun, leave me empty and wanting after the laughter dies. There must be wisdom in the proverb "sorrow is better than laughter", and in the word of The Christ "to be the last is to be the first", "that if you want to be great, then you must humble yourself".

Amen? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay-MEN!
