After celebrating Wee Keat's 21st birthday at Settler's Cafe (Clarke Quay), I watched the movie "Evan Almighty".
In this parody version of the story of "Noah's Ark", I was empowered with a philosophical point of view from the cast that acted as the "God".
He mentioned that if you prayed for courage, you would not receive courage. But instead you would receive an opportunity for you to be courageous.
From the movie, it is only this point that I really dwelled on and ponder. It is more than just a stage talk to me.
If one prayed for more wealth, only the opportunity to create more wealth would appear. And it is up to the individual to seize these chances.
This links to the point that one should not be praying for what they want to happen, without taking any action to achieve what they prayed for.
Until one takes action, one will not have one's prayers answered.
