Religion
In Taoism, which is a Chinese religion,
people believe in a causal relationship that called Karma. Whenever I feel
depress on something that happened contrary to my expectation, my mom would say
that the good thing would coming soon and just be patient. She said that
everything happened in this world should be equal. The numbers of Good things
always equal to the numbers of bad things; it’s kind of like “God closes one door while opening another window for you.”
“The ball is coming, Nina! Watch out!” My
Wednesday finally ended with a winning tennis game. Guess what the score was?
Eight to zero, and we got the eight definitely! I finally felt worthy of taking
2 hours car ride to Massachusetts on a windy Wednesday. At that time, I felt
everything is equivalent because if anything bad happened on you, the good one
would be follow after. Trust me! That was exactly my mom said to me before.
Therefore, after the end of the day, I decided to learn the word “equivalent” in
Irish for my challenge of the day. The word “equivalent” in Irish is “coibhéiseach”.
To my surprise, I first thought Irish people also speak English, but apparently
they have their own language. More and more people right now tend to speak
English instead of learning their own inherited language. Since many languages
are endangered right now, I would probably learn some language that is going to
extinct and has less people to speak it.
When the alarm was ringing the next morning,
I had problem opening my eyes. Then, my
roommate seemed to be awake by me because I could hear her yawning. I finally
started looking for my phone by using my hand. Every morning is hard for us and
even harder than any math exams. So, the bad things came in a roll. When I was looking
for my phone on my desk, my hand knocked over my water bottle, but I didn’t
realize it. After turning off the alarm, I fell asleep again. When I woke up
again, it was almost eight o’ clock. At the time I got to my first class, it
was 8:20, but my teacher didn’t mark me late. Until now, the good thing has not
happen yet, but I hope it’s on its way! After the long long day, it was time
for my daily challenge. Today’s language was Hausa, and I bet many of you have
not heard of this language before. I wanted to learn what the word “life” is in
Hausa. The word “life” in Hausa is rayuwa, and “that’s life” is “it ace rayuwa”.
Religion takes over a big part of my life,
and I kind of live upon it. In my opinion, people should have something that
they believe in so that there is actually something that restricts them from doing
bad things. Besides, it’s also a hope for people to live on in their lives.
