Loyalty and Faithfulness
The story, of someone waiting on the person who picked him up by the station. How the person have spent his life with him, going through the years, playing with him, teaching him and pampering him with “full body massage”.
If you haven’t already guess, that story is that of Hachiko the dog. A little bit of his story. He wasa picked up at the train station by a professor. Everyday, this dog would walk with its owner to the train station every morning, and head home right after the owner have went into the train. In the evening, the dog would reappear right outside the train station at the precise time when his owner would walk out.
I went to the catch the movie with Yeesiong, Dawei, Matthaeus, Peishan and Jolie. The movie version was a little different from the real actual story but you could say that the point was being shown through it.
To be honest, I really did not want to catch the movie. I really thought that we were going to catch Tooth Fairy instead. But i was outnumbered by the rest. I had nothing to say and could admit i was a little little frustrated. I wasn’t really expecting much from the movie actually. I’ve previously known the story so i just had the idea that it would be like fitting images to the story i have in my mind, which i wouldn’t want to spend $6 on. Through the first 70-80mins of the show, i could frankly say that, the only thing on my mind was how my $6 was just gone this way, watching how a dog grows up with it’s owner…. But as it came to the ending, something just struck me, and I just felt God asking me one question. “To what extent, will you continue to wait for Me?” The dog, knowing it was about time he was going to pass away, made its last journey slowly to the train station and layed there for the whole night till dawn when he passed away(in the movie)… At that point, I felt God asking the question, and things started reeling in my mind. Things like, even if I’m so tired that I’ve to drag myself home, would i be able to continue waiting a little bit more? If by the time i reach my 70s, will i still be waiting? If i have to wait 10 years for something to happen, will i continue to wait? So many different questions started swirling around in this brain of mine. “If”s and “what if”s….. To what extent are you willing to wait? maybe not for this Person i call my God, but for any other soul around you that is precious to you…
Ponder upon this…
