repentment and gratitude

2 consecutive days --- 2 celebrations, seperate and lasting. compare and contrast; the concerts were both great, and met quite alot of friends back at tms too. the main showcase, however, was the Teacher. a person who dedicates him/herself to being the messenger of knowledge - such a huge responsibility lies on their shoulders. i thought the festive mood was to encourage the appreciation of their existance, and not the many apologetic words which should be immediately corrected and not wait till now. the true meaning of their presence is progressively fading, as some simply forget their roots. anyway, this day is also a reunion of old friends who would naturally hang out thereafter. so for the past 2 days: play, play, play play play. what to do? =)
