People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Many recount their misfortunes, their I-nearly-hit-the-jackpot lottery incident, and like me, looking at how pathetic I am to be broken time and again. I hit the net reading stories written about the early days of Malaysia. The recent threat of a crusade against Christians and other inflammatory statements spewed out by racists-cum-bigots did well to remind me that there are bigger things in life.
I love the stories of human relationships. And at the same time wonder to myself why is it that only during a bloodbath that we hear of people like Oskar Schindler? It's refreshing, nonetheless, to know that there are many who don't subscribe to extremism and that idea racial superiority.
