I agree with you. But sometimes love is a strange thing.

For me, love conquers all! I mean, in this world which is full of suffering the only thing we can hold on in life is love. First, we must love God as our creator of our being and the rest of the beautiful things around us. Second, before we love someone we must loved our self first as a symbol of self respect. Third, we must be grateful for all the person who always stay with us in our trials, in our happiness, sadness, loneliness, and success. The one we treasure most in this world is our family, friends and of course our so called significant other who bring a ray of sunshine in our gloomy life. No matter how successful you are in life you should always left your feet on the ground and stay humble at all times and never let anyone to control you. We should not treat each others as competitors but as brothers and sisters even great ocean seperate us, love will always unite us.

@Arnold Cruz!
You said it all!
To explain more further there are many kinds of love which some of us know

First, THE LOVE OF GOD which is called “DIVINE LOVE!” It it the kind of love which God have to all of his children which is unfathomable and unmeasurable.

Second. THE LOVE THAT PARENTS HAVE TO THEIR CHILDREN is called “PARENTAL LOVE.
A love that shows care, comfort, and guidance in our every walking hours. Who can forget our very own mothers loving touch.

Third. THE LOVE THAT YOU HAVE TO YOUR FRIENDS OR RELATIVES is called “PLATONIC LOVE.” Truly, a friend is like a pillow the one you can hug when you’re in sorrow or just somethings to hold when you’re feeling cold.

Fourth. THE LOVE THAT WE FEEL TOWARDS OPPOSITE SEX is called. “ROMANTIC LOVE.”
Most people often fall for romantic love maybe because due to attraction with a certain traits of a specific person to his or her physical attributes. Romantic Love cannot even stand the test of time. But true love does. What is the course of love? Basically, its all about communication, sharing and openness. A love which has the essence of maturity and unity will last forever.

Love is a strange thing and individual to everyone who feels it. I’m a romance writer and I look into the many different types of romantic love everyday. From the perfect love that lets us live happily ever after to the dysfunctional love that some of us are better off avoiding. Most humans have a drive for the romantic love, but it can be hard to find a perfect match. Beyond the love there must be compromise, understanding and communication for any type of love to flourish.

I agree with you, the Vice President has the duty to speak and serve the country if she finds something’s not happening right or in accordance with what is true and just.

I hope everything would be fine for our beloved country.

Hi Shavkat,

Thank you for your reply and it is much appreciated. I agree with your observation that it seems that everything is spinning out of control in our country.

Indeed, powers corrupts and more power corrupts absolutely may be a quotation in point with what’s happening in our beloved country.

Likewise, in the country of the blind the one who rule is a one-eyed king or something to that effect.

It seems the Mr. Duterte is already intoxicated with the allure of power or perhaps an illusion of grandeur on his part? Just look on how he pontificates every now and then. Perhaps he is already too in love with hearing his own voice so much so that he is already deft to the shout and cry of the people?

What I cannot stomach from our current President is the expletives and bad mouthing that he is always indulging into. How could you respect such kind or type of leader when he himself has no common courtesy to others or having no GMRC at all.

We even teach the good moral and right conduct to our young ones even in the nursery and kindergarten yet our very President to my mind has no GMRC at all with regards to others especially with the other Head of States.

Please pardon me for saying so.

My take of terrorism is there is no good or bad terrorists. A terrorist is a terrorist. He knows only to kill people may be it is their fellow citizens people of their same faith or other faiths. The problems starts with the governments of developed nations who take their support to do their bidding. There are some countries which are a haven for terrorists. They provide all sort of training, use of weapon, use of handling explosives all this in the name of ideologies.

These countries then use them as an arm of the military who do subversive and covert operations. They use it against the countries with whom they do not seem to enjoy friendly relations. But these countries get annihilated. As the terrorists they breed know nothing constructive but to kill and be killed. Developed nations should see that they neither take the help of these outfits, nor support them to fight against the countries with whom they have problems. These terrorists are the scum of the earth.

Yes…you are right to above mentioned article about religion. Origin of religion is cosier as old as human civilization trying to become as a setelled community. Why it happened to necessity of religion. It is a very deep question relating religion.
Some tells that it was fear which in forms of nature and animals first introduced. Then after to control over community. This feature of religion continued for long periods with worshiping their ancestors also. Both there were several drawbacks of this type of religion. Some people became mighty and some very weak.As always be ,mighty oppresses weaker section. Then all times of history there come a great human being to save weaker section with his thoughts .His ideas and teachings take a form of of religion. Follower of those teachings are considered as different community. Cristianity, Islam,Buddhism are those type of religions started by such great human beings.
They presented an example of simple living and there are billions of followers of above mentioned religions.
In modern computer age as education and technology is growing importance of it is reducing it has still a great impression of society.Society run according to the religious format.Bith ,marriage and death all customs related are associated with it.

The blog is nice and good but for the mention of the Carl Marx quote which is totally absurd. Marx himself is a communist and the communist could never lead a happy role in any place on the planet. For Marx this may be Opium. Why the Head of China is worried about Mr. Dalai Lama’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh. The Prime Minister Mr. Li Peng is feeling chill of his backbone with the visit of Mr. Lama.
Religion is not made. It is a combination of a set of principles and guidelines that can satisfy the people of their doubts with regard to birth, death, and afterlife as you said rightly.
This is important for a peaceful living of a set of community in a proposed area without being overlapped by any other faiths of any other groups or religious belief.
What we are calling development, technology, modernization is all the thrown-out remains of the Ancient cultures and Civilizations. They used them all, researched on everything, finally thrown them aside as did not satisfy their needs except creating unrest among various people. The dirt which they have thrown out has become a great technological development for us and we are still playing like kids calling ourselves developed which is not at all a truth. The ancients are far superior in their knowledge than the modern scientists. Their way of dealing with nature was confined to four corners of a Laboratory. They enjoyed nature, they played with it and finally drafted rules which appear now, as scriptures in various religions which unfortunately we do not comprehend and keep them aside as TRASH. We are actually a big trash thrown out of their culture.
Even after the so-called development, we are guided by inhibitions, doubts, unrest, poverty, selfishness, xenophobia, hydrophobia, our own safety, our own society, our own belief (narrowed down to lanes and streets)and even territorial jurisdiction. If we are really developed we should have broken the boundaries laid down by Religions. We are not doing it, and we can not.

If by chance, anybody takes a step to cross the boundaries then he will find ultimately that what he said was already mentioned in the religious scriptures. We talk about love, passion, etc., These are already mentioned in the Bible. We talk about humanism which is already played important roles in the administration of the Ancient Rulers.

To conclude, we achieved a big NIL. When we question ourselves as to the achievements we made with our technology, there is nothing to be proud of. Only some BIKINIS (EVEN these were available IN India and worn by INDIAN SADHUS on the Seashores) We are already bikinied (making one finally naked) by our administrators with false promises on Development and service.

I don’t know if music is the language of the soul but I do know I love music.

It is so good to know that you love music. What type of music do you like to listen to? Are you listening to music every day? Do you go to concert? Maybe I’m asking too much from you.

I have long love-affair with music that started during my high school days. I use to listen to love song which nowadays they called “ballad”; although from what I know ballad is usually associated with poetry.

Since then my love for music keeps on growing. I like country/folk, jazz, love song, classical, new age, new wave, slow rock and other musical genre. My taste for different kind of music is almost eclectic.

I like so many singer and artist. I have so many tapes and CD collections through the years. Most of my favorite music are the constant source of my inspiration in life.

I love to hear and discover new music—songs that I never heared before. I also like to read books about the lives of great musicians and composers.

I hope that your love and appreciation for music will grow as the year passes by. As I write this reply I’m listening to Antonio Vivaldi’s “The Four Season”.

Talk to you soon.

I don’t get the idea how come the press or media entities and people are the enemy, in the first place they are the mediator for the people and the government. They are giving news and information constituents to government and vice versa.

It doesn’t mean the when they hurt people or expose the wrong agenda of the state that they are the enemy now. Sometimes this is just misinterpretation.

Though I think, sometimes its the sides or angles that the media and press people they present that they are being hit. But being being biased, for me, is when you attacked one people or entity and don’t the side of that concern person. But even when you attacked but tried to get their comment, that is fair– well, as far as myself is concern.

Mr.Trump did not know how a media organization works. He did not know that journalists have a set of Tenets that they follow in the course of their job as news gatherer; news provider. There could be some rotten eggs in the media, but not all of them are bad; there are still crusading ones who value the truth so much, because credibility is very important to them.

yes they are the enemy due to the fact that people depend on them in the past to knwo the news but for the bad luck there is not much morals now adays and the media or social media become trade and keys that business world get big bite of it to serve there business and fool some people, that is how it works
