It is obvious that he is educated when you interact with him.
People who interact with him are usually left wondering why an educated, upbeat and amiably sociable young chap is shackling himself within a small drinks stall in a food market.
There is a family from my church who stays nearby too and also frequents that guy's stall too, who is obviously on pretty good terms with him as well.
You feel like the whole market loves that helpful, sociable and amiable guy, ranging from the patrons, to his fellow market stallholders to the cleaning staff.
Christians can't help but wonder if he is a believer too. Whether he's a believer or not, a thought dawned on me.
I thought, "Indeed, we can serve Him and His community wherever we are because that is His original plan anyway - His plan to have everyone created uniquely and serving uniquely".
Why is everyone striving to be a doctor and lawyer when some of them are immensely and obviously a talented pianist, enthusiastic painter, compassionate caregiver, or a meticulous mathematician?
Since when did doctors and lawyers become the only 'practical' professions around? Since when did humans cease needing comfort (counselors), cease needing the expressions of emotions, thoughts and ideas (artists) and cease needing education (teachers)? I can go on droning.
Other than the issue of impracticality of having the whole world doctoring each other or debating law with each other, it is also emotionally/mentally unbearable to live in a world without musicians, artists, teachers, engineers, counselors, therapists or even businessmen.
What would happen to the human body if every organ decides to be a brain or heart?
