I want to apologise.

In my arrogance, I have boasted and placed myself on a pedestal about this seemingly “noble” and “selfless” decision not to go overseas and to work in an NGO in the future. I have gone on and on about it, refusing to see that I was boasting about my supposed “righteousness”, while I scoffed at those who went overseas or did degrees that were to fulfill ambitions.

I was and am in no such position to do so. And so, I shall remain silent about my future, or if need be, speak sparingly and with great caution.

I thought that I was the widow giving her two copper pennies, but I was really a hypocrite in the synagogue .

This fellow's wise enough to play the fool,
And to do that well craves a kind of wit.
He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
The quality of persons, and the time,
And, like the haggard, check at every feather
That comes before his eyes. This is a practice
As full of labour as a wise man's art.
For folly that he wisely shows is fit;
But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit.
