Si Manong Driver

Tuesday, October 23, 2007

Kakarating ko lang ng office…I took a cab from MRT North and fortunately, may naka-park na isang EMP cab and sinakay niya ko. Everytime talagang pag sumasakay ako ng cab eh I'm very cautious. Si Manong Driver naka-gloves pa (iniisip ko since mahilig ako sa crime stories, usually kapag naka-gloves ibig sabihin they don't want to leave their fingerprints..hehe) tapos, may katabi pa siyang gray na bag. Di siyempre, I didn't feel comfortable. Saka marami pa siyang mga paraphernalias sa harap niya like may mga books, pamphlet etc. So ginawa ko I reached for my bag and got hold of the tear gas can na binili namin ni Taj, para I'm prepared. Tapos meron pa siyang kinuha doon sa pagitan ng books sa harap niya na maliit na pamphlet (sa isip-isip ko, naku mukhang magbabasa pa si Manong while driving). Then he gave me one, title nun: "Ano ang pag-asa para sa namatay na minamahal?", Jehova's Witness member pala si Manong. So medyo komportable na ko dahil religious pala siya. Until makarating ako ng Globe nag-pi preach lang siya sa akin. Actually, nung nag-start na siya mag-preach while driving, I thought ang swerte ko naman, bihira lang ako magpunta ng church at eto si Manong, nagpi-preach sa akin. Sa akin naman kasi whatever religion mag-preach okay lang, nakikinig ako dahil I know naman na iba-iba man religion natin, isa lang ang Diyos natin. Bilib nga ko kay Manong dahil ginawa niya ring venue yung pagda-drive niya ng taxi to preach. He was actually nice and meron akong mga bagay na natutunan sa kanya, in that short time.

Tapos, tinanong niya ko, layunin daw ba ng Diyos na may mamatay ang mga tao. I was never asked that question before and ni hindi sumagi sa isip ko yung tanong na yon kahit kailan. Hindi ako sure kung tama sa pananaw niya o paniniwala niya yung sinagot ko. Ang sagot ko kasi, I don't think layunin ng Diyos na may mamatay kahit sino sa atin. Ang death ng isang tao sometimes depende kung papa'no niya ni-lead ang buhay niya, pwedeng caused by accident, terminal illness, sa paggawa ng masama, health etc. Sabi ko I don't think na i-wi-will ni Lord na may mamatay sa atin. Tapos nun he started na to quote some verses in the bible, what it means and all that. Then he asked me, bakit daw namamatay ang tao? Sagot ko naman, it's because maybe human beings are not really meant to live forever, na we're not born immortals, etc..basta, okay yung usapan namin ni Manong. I appreciated his preaching though siyempre, the usual thing, he claimed that his religion is the right one…and I cannot question his belief. 

Nga pala, in the beginning medyo na-guilty pa'ko when he asked me, nagbabasa raw ba ko ng bible, sabi ko before pero ngayon hindi na. Sabi niya, we should read the bible daily..binreakdown niya pang yung mga hours that we usually spend sa mga activities natin. That we have 24 hours in 1 day, we have to eat, take a bath, go to office, do house chores, to make chicka, magpaganda etc..why don't we allot at least 15 or 20 minutes to pray raw and it doesn't really require much of our time.. grabe, na-guilty ako. Onga naman…

Buti na lang may isang taxi driver na nag-pa-guilty sa akin today….:) Thank you!
