Wandering aimlessly in a void, accompanied by inner turmoil and instability, is extremely dangerous because the biggest impact falls on one’s FAITH.
Several factors affect the imbalance between this inner turmoil and thought, such as age, financial conditions, and past trauma from rejection. I’m actually still grateful, because although God allowed me to start life from the lowest point—poor in wealth, knowledge, and heart—God also gave me the strength to overcome that depression. Yes, I admit that from junior high school through two years of working after vocational high school, I truly lacked any passion for life.
For that reason, this moment serves as one of my efforts to nurture FAITH, to let go of all ego, and to strive to learn from every interaction.
The fact is that every time God tests me, there is always another example alongside it that allows me to keep being grateful. It turns out that I am still more fortunate than that example.
