i just want to read....

i was approached by a duo,

a young teenage girl and her younger brother

they are promoting the fund raising program

for a charity they endorse

the first round,

i was on the phone with my sister

about her convocation plan,

the next round

i was enthusiastic reading Da Vinci Code

and she came to my table

i gently gestured that i was busy

but she reassured me that

there is something she needed me

to know about

out of exasperation,

i told her that i was her having my tea

and all i wanted was

a calm and peaceful day

to read my book

i was not looking at her expression

but through her voice

"then you take your time reading,"

i could sense the sarcasticism in her voice

something came to my mind:

i was very anxious when

i sensed such activities around me

rejecting them reminded me

of how i felt when

someone rejected to hear the gospel

at times,

we need to distrbute flyers

to promote church activities

sometimes,

we even have to go from house to house

it was an evangelism activity

but many vile organisations

are doing exactly

like house evangelism

these days

and they are

sobotaging the

real ones.....

society learns to reject and

find such methods

repulsive and fraud

we have to keep reinventing ourselves

to set apart from

the rest...
