Pag may nagawa kang masama, tapos may nangyaring masama sayo, naiisip mo bang naparusahan ka dahil don? Some people call it karma. I call it divine punishment.
Last Friday, I did something I regretted. Sin I would not consider grave; more like mischief. Nonetheless, sin is sin, according to the bible when you break one law you break them all. If you lie, it would be the same as commiting murder, adultery, and all other sins.
Point is, I felt I got punished for my wrongdoing. And God spanked me where it hurt the most, sa trabaho ko. Nung Friday nagkaroon ng insidente sa planta kasi I used the wrong raw material to make a product. At dahil dun, yung buong tank ng pintura, na-hold. Hindi ma-release kasi kailangan i-observe kung magkakaroon ng adverse reaction yung maling raw mat na nagamit ko sa buong batch ng pintura.
Tsk tsk. Grabe talaga. And the funny part is, 5kg lang yung maling raw mat na nagamit ko, pero yung tanke ng pintura 5000 gallons! Such a small thing, but that 5 kgs could be enough to ruin the whole thing!
The same with sin. One small slip could cost you big time. I realized that now, because God decided to teach me a lesson. Siguro kasi hindi ako marunong makinig at matigas ang ulo ko kaya naisip Niya na yun ang pinakamabuting paraan para maintindihan ko yung message Niya. Boy, did I get it!
But God is still on my side, I believe. Despite this bitter lesson in life, I know what He did was for my good. And once that dark part of me has been removed by human effort under God's grace, I will be free.
Right now, all I can wish for is sana ganun din yung mangyari sa batch nung pintura--sana hindi masira! haha.
ang galing naman. with a big incident, you still managed to look at the silver lining. go raissa!
