I've become a wimp
I went for a recital tonight, and watched polished instrumentalists strut their stuff on stage. However, an incident that happened tonight made me realize how tentative I have become.A listener from the floor inquired one of the vocalists if he teaches voice. The vocalist politely said no, but the questioner did not register the answer at first, and persisted in asking for details. Gradually I understood that the questioner's level of sentiency was not of the average level, which accounted for his persistence. The audience merely laughed at his apparent stupidity and caused him to leave the place, embarrassed.
Why did I not stand up for him? It was an ernest question seeking tutelage, not something to be laughed at. Why did I not defend his right to ask? I guess God did not anoint me to do so.
I ask God for the courage to stand up for the weak, in hope that a similar act of kindness would be done in turn to my youngest brother should he ever require it.
