Bob


Bob by John BejoOne strong case against Bob in the movie
The Incredibles, was saving a man who did not want to be saved.

Years ago,  a friend   maligned his  mother in law for helping him get his family intact. My former co-ed embarrassed us for ‘saving’ her from her drug addict lover. My classmate in elementary school blamed me for getting in between and stopping his fight with another classmate.

Many times in our lives, we dreamed of being a hero or somebody useful. But sometimes along the way, we get burnt for trying to interfere in the natural process of someone's' survival. The truth is some people don't need our help and doing so may cause more damage than fix.

And so, in this case, we could help by not helping; care by not doing anything;  listen by ignoring; love by letting someone be where they want to be...

Joy


JoyWhen the world left me, she was there. She walked, cried, fought and stayed with me. Today it’s her birthday. 

When Joy and I got married, we had nothing: only our love and our dreams. We did not have a grand wedding. Even some of our sponsors were not properly dressed. We had the most frugal reception spending a cost of a low end smartphone now.

Bruno


Bruno. Blog by John BejoBruno approached me to ask for a dime. I had nothing. I looked at him and pulled out my packed lunch and gave it to him. At first he hesitated and looked at me for several seconds to see if I was really serious to give my only food to him. He took the food and said, "Sir, what I can do for you. Thank you. Thank you. I will give my life to you. Tell me what to do." 

Giorgio


Giorgio - By John B. BejoAlmost every host here in Italy would brag about their best wine. Some have hundreds of different bottles in their cellar with different brands and howling price tags. But only one has served the best wine so far: Giorgio.
