Disability...

Throughout my life or most part of my life, I have been living pretty independently. Whatever problem I faced, I've learnt how to face or handle them. When people insult me when I was young, my mom always tell me it doesn't hurt (physically), let them talk all they want. That's why I don't care about gossip in the fellowship. When my mom died, and my dad married again, people tell me to live strong and study hard. So when I grow up, I don't need to rely on my dad or anyone. Everything that passed by me, I see them as "No Big Deal". People thinks that I don't care about anything, but really I don't think there's any problem so big that makes me worry till I collapse. I always take life as how it comes to me. However, I think this is causing me a disability in understanding other people. When people around me share their problem with me, I only know how to tell them that its no big deal. I can only suggest solutions. I can only tell them how to think from another perspective. But I am not able to understand their feelings, and I don't know how to comfort them. I think this disability will continue to affect me for a long time. I know that people say God can change one's character/ personality. I just need to keep praying until it happens. I am not doubting God's ability, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. May be I should be qualified for disability parking space.
