Genuine compassion and sincerity

its the first day of school n my level of enthusiasm is ZERO ...
i dragg my arse to sch only to find out i will be having EARLY MORNING ACCOUNTING CLASSES at 8am for the next 2 fridays... oh how awesome is that...=___= as if i dont hav enough of them alrdy ....but wait theres more.... i go to methods class with a brain full of Chinese words trying desperately to memorize an essay [ for tuition after sch] n in the end ... i barely get anywhere in memorizing it or paying attention to what Mr yip has taught the whole 2 periods...
see this is what happens when one tries to multi-task in desperate times...
note to self * should not attempt to memorize an essay 1 and a half pages long in the last minute*
oh well ... i got a B + for it ... i guess i'll live with that =____=

continuing on ....
sitting in econs class ... my eyes had set itself on something/ someone ... in which struck me of the world i live in ....

its 20 minutes left till the bell rings... and he gets moved to a comfy seat in the front row, just right in front of the lady [who was desperately trying to teach us something] for talking unnecessarily =___=
yes it happens all the time in economics... so no surprise there LOL...anyways.....
soon i found myself starring into the distance... my eyes had not concentrated on the teacher or anyone in particular ... they were all but a blur vision... after 10 minutes or so, i snapped back into reality and my eyes somehow landed on him once again...
it was at this very moment... i saw this person from a different angle... he was talking to the girl beside him and she wasn't exactly one of those "popular people" that most people tried desperately to be around... but i saw the way his eyes looked at her... it wasn't with pity for her, that she was rather lonely... but his eyes were filled with compassion and sincerity ...

in today's world... how often does one only choose to befriend a person because of their status / popularity and at the same time exclude those whom we pass judgments on...to be weird or different? and how often does one have the willingness or the heart to reach out to those who stand in the secluded corner, completely excluded from the ones we call the "normal / popular" people...
but then again.... i'm sure we've all made that mistake at some point in our lives... . a desire for popularity can cause us to be ignorant , exclude people around us, n maybe even step on our true friends and in worse cases ... hurt them badly...
but its only those who have once been a victim of exclusion that really understand how the others feel... and how happy it can make a "victim" in such situations... if they just reach out with genuine compassion and sincerity...
