Faithfulness. Sometimes, faithfulness can be translated as stewardship. How you take care of your things/stuff/items, personal or shared.
I think Singaporeans in general have problems managing Faithfulness. For the things they have been given, for the things they own, for the things they are blessed with.
People take each other for granted and does not care about feelings other than their own. People don't take care of public property and ripped off art installations. People take for granted the items they were given and chuck them aside. People take for granted talents they were blessed with and did not bother to cultivate it.
I finally figured out why I am always so frustrated with people. They can't handle faithfulness the way I expect it to be. I can be faithful, but the people around me are faithless. I promised to be with them to the end, but in between, people get distracted and left without telling me why. Ironically, they were the either the ones who tell me they will never leave me, or they were the ones who assure me that they will not drop me like a hot brick.
I really do not trust friendships that promises to last forever. Or maybe I shouldn't get so hang up on relationships. Afterall, people and circumstances changes, movement of people and their emotions are inevitable. Maybe I should just take it easy and treat everyone as a passerby. The way, my hurt meter will be shorter.
But as always, I wish I could do it, but I am not as hard-hearted as the people around me. I always end up being the loser.
It's a blessing. It's a curse.
Faithfulness, where can I find you?
