"Don't forget to be kind to strangers.
For some who have done this
have entertatained angels without realizing it."

-Hebrews 13:2-

"Boo!"

She jumped in fright and looked back just in time to see 3 boys laughing their heads off as they strolled past her.
Stupid boys, she thought to herself. Nothing better to do than to scare girls.

She felt an eye following her, watching her, trailing her. She was browsing through the numerous shelves lined with books, not really noticing who was around her. She looked up and her eyes caught the gaze of a old man. Quickly, she returned her gaze to her books.

5 minutes later, she still had the feeling that someone was watching her. She looked up again, and there he was, still staring at her. Not even flinching when their eyes met.

Keep your eyes to yourself, old man! She thought to herself as she walked away.

Her teachers says that if you leave so much for men to fantasize, you cannot blame them for harbouring those thoughts. Does that mean that girls have no rights to dress nicely? Just because men cannnot control their hormones, it does not mean that girls have to control it for them! Besides, she was not even wearing anything remotely closed to exposed.

Speaking of dressing, she knows what she shall wear during her birthday! Something so matured, everyone will be surprised. Jeans this time, since he wants to see her in jeans. Oh man, everyone is going to be totally dumbfounded! Can't wait.

"You know what happened just now? The cashier took out a calculator to calculate the change when i only gave her $24.20 for something that costs $24.15. It's only 5 cents and she took so long to calculate!" her brother was saying, describing the long wait at the counter as they walked down the stairs from popular.

Look at what technology has done to us. Made us so reliant on it that even the simplest mathmatics cannot be done with mental sums. Very soon, we will stop thinking and robots shall take over. What a terrifying thought.

Technology.
A boon or a bane?

"But the fruit of the spirit is
joy,
peace,
patience,
kindness,
goodness,
faithfulness,
gentleness,
and self control."

-Galatians 5:22-23-
