On Discernment (Part 5 of ?)


i just got the news that my high school and college classmate-cum-best buddy passed the bar examination and is now a full-pledged lawyer.

on my way to dinner this evening, i found myself delivering the following litany to a fellow seminarian:
"grabe ang mga kaklase ko. malayo na narating nila. may mga naging pari na, may lawyer na, may mga magagaling na professor at teacher, may best selling author pa nga. at ako? eto... nagigitara lang sa misa."

i was honestly expecting some sympathy from him, but instead i got this line from him:
"kuya, remember... great airplanes need long runways."
