'
Bo Ai'= Agape love- my favorite calligraphy of Sun. Not that I can appreciate calligraphy, but I appreciate the revolutionary act that is motivated by agape love.
Just reflecting on my work in the hospital, I think agape love is really tough to put into action. I really hate dealing with anxious ++ family members.. sianz.... but thinking about it again, perhaps that happens because they lack God's peace.
But there have also been very nice patients who make helping much easier work to do.
Uncle Kia is one of those whom I got to know in the hospital. He has been taking care of this nutcase lady for about 27years. He calls her his ex-wife.. while she calls him husband. Anyway, Uncle Kia has been providing her with lodging, lending her some money, recommending her a job, and showing her concern. The thing is, this lady is a real nutcase. I believe anyone who sees her on the street would stay away from her. Her breathe leeks of alcohol, and cigarettes. She smashes things in the home when she is drunk and violent. This time round, Uncle Kia was hospitalized because she pushed him down during of their fights when she was drunk. This woman is so unhygienic to the point that Uncle Kia's home is infested of bedbugs because of her.
Uncle Kia has 2 children of his own. THey had wanted him to abandon her but he said that he would not because she has been caring for him for the past 27years as well... Now that he is unable to care for himself and require the care of his children, he has no choice but to let go. However as he stays with his children, he is leaving his flat for her to lodge in. He does not want to sell his flat away yet because he knows that this lady has nowhere to go.
Uncle Kia is a sweet and kind man. As he learns to let go of things that are already beyond him, he is a rested man. Uncle Kia does resembles a bit of agape love, to love the unlovable and those who cannot love him in return.. God bless his sincere love for others...
