Life-Sucking Abyss ("The Pardoner's Tale")

I found “The Pardoner’s Tale” very interesting because of its humorous story. Presenting it to the class helped me to understand about it more. The Pardoner’s Tale is a very good tale and it shares a very sensible message.

The Pardoner’s Tale is about three drunken men who are driven crazy by their greed and even came to a point of killing each other. They are willing to sell their souls just to get their precious gold. But in the end they all died in vain, how miserable.

“Although gold dust is precious, when it gets in your eyes, it obstructs your vision” ~ Hsi-Tang. Never let the money blind you because it will only cause you miserable death. Remember, MONEY CANT BUY HAPPINESS! I know nowadays money is not easy to earn but being a Christian we need to be patient and persevering. For those who are experiencing financial problems remember that God will never put us into a test we can’t pass.

This story is just an example of what possible things may happen to you if you let greed control you.

A vision without action is daydream but an action without vision is nightmare so think 1^st before you do something because it will only lead you to a life sucking abyss if you don’t. 

My Hero

There are many people who can be considered a hero.  But for me my hero is specially my beloved parents.  Parents, they are the one who risk everything they have even their own life just to see us their children happy and living well.  They are the one who will never give up on you no matter what. They are my shield, my sword, and my hero. They are all that you will need, someone who will be happy of everything you are and someone who will fill you when you are empty.

Parents, they are the reason why we are here and why we are still living. They show their love to us in the hardships and challenges they overcome just for us their children to live comfortable. But the sad thing is that sometimes we, their children don’t show their love to them in return. A simple way to thank them but we can’t even show it because of our pride.

Sometimes I said to myself that I don’t deserve this, this comfortable life they’ve given me. I can’t even show my love to them. It’s hard for me to say “I love you” to my parents especially to my dad. I am happy now on the life that I have but every time I think of the awful things I’ve done, I feel pathetic.

I love them but I can’t show it. I know I don’t deserve this but they’re still there when I need them.

Parents, they will never give up on you no matter what. They are willing to sacrifice everything for us their children to live happy. They will do their best just to us not to be harm in any means, small or big. They always wish for us the BEST. They give their best and everything they have for us. But we their children can’t even show any sign of gratitude to them.

I admit that I am not a good child for my parents sometimes, it’s because I always look forward on my own desires. I am selfish and ignorant. I don’t have a good relationship with my brother and this is the only thing my parents want me to change. I don’t get it but it’s really hard to eat your pride and say sorry for the things you’ve done. Sometimes I throw words to them like I am talking to my enemy but now that I’m already a teenager I start realizing it.

And now that I am already grown up and know what is wrong from right, I will pour them every ounce of my love. I will do my best not to be control by my pride and I’ll try my best to say these 3 words that means everything to them, “I love you”. I may forget the world that I knew but I won’t forget you, mom and dad. I’m still holding on to what I have and I will never say that I don’t need you mom and dad. You’re all that I need, someone who will be happy for what I become and someone who will there for me when I’m nothing, “my hero”.
