Faith is the element of living a positive life. Like we read in the bible that Faith without action is useless. We always have to exercise our Faith in order to stay positive and happy. What you have shared is actually very true. In life nothing comes easy everything has to be worked for to achieve results. Troubles are part of life we cannot avoid them when they come, and when they come we have to fight them by praying and that’s when faith comes in. And if your fighting them yet you have no faith that will yeild you no results. So it is very crucial to have faithin everything that we do.
-
Yes, faith God is the root of happiness and prosperity on earth and in heaven But on the contrary the word is doubt is very dangerous thing the root of all evils on earth. When we lose trust in God means doubts takes its in heart and we fall prey to many earthly mental and spiritual troubles as the holy bible says:
James 1:6
6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
Galatians 3:2222 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
Keep these rules in mind, where there will be doubt, absence of faith,
, where there will darkness, absence of light, where there will be illiteracy, absence, of education because education is light and illiteracy is darkness.It is knowledge and faith that comes to light from the hell of darkness.

In response to your closing question: Yes I believe it. Governments, i.e. the folks “in charge”, do some unimaginable things. History bears that out.
With respect to the title of your post, hope you don’t mind me contributing my “two cents”. The irony of terrorism is that the terrorists will not call themselves terrorists for what they do to others, but if others did the same things to them, they would say it was an act of terrorism. Everybody is right in their own eyes. But God is able to judge. So for those who are not on either side? “Heavenly Father, deliver us from evil.”
-
I don’t know but I think I changed my title three times but I was not feeling contented on the previous and even this. But I got your point, because I have read once a phrase that we judge other people on what they do and judge ourselves base on our intentions.
Which means also terrorists are not only those hiding fighting on what they believe and they kill people because they need to kill, but also those in government doing nothing or just sitting but selling the guns.
-
I’m glad you understood me.
Killing is murder. We are not talking about an act of self-defense or in defense of family or someone else. We are not talking about an accidental or wrongful death that happened but it was unintentional. We are not talking about war where you are an enlisted soldier or a police officer with legal authority to discharge a weapon in the line of duty. We are talking the planned premeditated taking of another person’s life or the lives of many people, and those murderous acts being used to terrorize or strike fear in others, so that either the remaining living people can be controlled and/or so that those committing the terrorist acts can demand whatever they want and their demands will be met.
Bottom line? There is not a human being on the planet who does not KNOW when their human rights are being violated and their life or the lives of those they love and want to protect are being threatened. When they recognize that the life and death situation they are in, they don’t care if it’s a “terrorist” or a “freedom fighter” or a “government”, they just want to escape ALIVE!

I can. It suits a Gov. to have an ‘enemy’ so that everything it does, no matter how repressive is right.
-
building or making our enemy, this is an irony. It seems the best writers for a movie sequence are in the government. In the end,the losers and sacrifice are the little people asking what is happening and cannot understand the name of the game.
-
-
Not only governments, all those countries who lecture other nations about war, terrorism and human rights are biggest producers and sellers of weapons and arms. The arms industry is worth billions of dollars and I have no doubt in my mind that they fund terrorism and supply weapons to both sides (government and rebels) so that their economy flourishes.
You want to know another irony, those who manufacture and export weapons are highly developed countries. The countries with import weapons are extremely poor with no fund for basic infrastructure, health, education etc. for their people.
-
The dark side of high profiled business. Its hard to understand why we have a war, its easy to understand but you will cry when you know the truth– we build, create and make our own enemy. Is this a kind of war games? The sad truth, the innocent, children, poor people are the victims of this war games. We are sacrifice just for them to bank millions of dollars.
Nose bleeding me.

This is not a surprise to know that the Government stocks are being sold to the Terrorists by the Government officials. This is the meanest act on the part of Government . This is a cowardly act. The highly developed countries in their fight for Global supremacy have taken some wrong step somewhere at some time and are unable to take it back. This is the outcome of that wrong decision and step which the other countries are experiencing now. Do you believe? if I say that it was Md. Taraqui of Afghanistan who approached the USSR for help in their fight against Iran ? It is still continuing now.
-
so its like… because there are armory, arsenals and ammos but there are no enemies, we sell these stuffed to the people that can make them able to combat and make them unpopular to the place, and then the war begins because we just ignited it. It is really unbelievable this thing is happening to many countries. We make our own enemies and we supply them so we can make some war. Bad business.

Terrorism has been a pain in everyone’s heart all over the world, and no one seems to know who is behind it. It’s very unfortunate to know that it is not people from other countries who start terrorism in countries there is always someone behind the whole thing in that very country or government the terrorism is happening. We have heard so many stories about it and how it’s is formed and the best conclusion that comes out is nothing far from the truth that someone superior or some tycoon is the one aiding or supplying the arms to perform this acts. In Africa it’s said that this terrorists go through certain countries and use some locals to be able to get to th places that they need to go to and in turn give out some hefty payments to be let free. And in this life money has suddenly become a livelihood for many so people would give anything in exchange for money very sad indeed.
-
There are instances when terror outfits have used weapons earlier supplied by Governments and forces on the very forces later which supplied the weapons.
-
So, this is how they play a game, what a mockery. We should have a dream now, that there will be no crooked people thinking of war and battles but only talking about peace and unity, no guns but only funs, no tanks but only thanks.
This is supposed to be humanity is.

I have said many time that those who change their leader keeping in mind some betterment for the public a day dream because the new will come worst than the former as has happened in Philippe.
The most common definition of a “leadership problem” is a “leader problem”—a problem stemming from the person or people in charge, such as managers, chairpersons, or team leaders. Are they not doing their jobs? How can they improve their effectiveness?
Do they need to be replaced? It is reasonable to examine what the individuals with formal authority in the group are or are not doing that is contributing to the group not achieving results. However, the quick leap from “leadership problem” to “leader problem” can create tunnel vision.

This is why the whole world is appreciating the action and the decision of Mr. Duterte. He is dynamic and practical. What he said he is doing. What is the use of this pushers when they are spoiling the youth of the Country? No country can move forward if the youth lost their vitality and vigor. Mr. Duterte has taken a very very serious note of the issue and ordered the killing of these pushers and peddlers of drugs. A decision none of his predecessors could take and implement. The Philippines are greatly in need of this great man. He is a man of action. All the previous Presidents and their supporters should bow their heads in utter shame in front of this man.
-
That is right, though the move of President Rody Duterte have been getting much attention not only in the Philippine archipelago but also in United Nations, USA and other countries around the world. But the fact that the advantage weighs more than the disadvantages, it is therefore a good consideration for him to continue the drive against illegal war.
Though people have one clamor at him, to help the widows of the killed husbands and fathers. Many of these victims are head of the family, bread winner, and not helping them will only give another problem to the country who have been in the middle of poverty.

We are so proud for having a great president this time.Those who claim about EJK might have involvement of drug. Philippines has been long suffering from deadly diseases from corrupt and addict politicians.Who would take that former Human rights justice is a drug protector and not only drug, she is also an immoral woman for having sexed with high profile addict in the Bilibid prison. Delima is a shameless devil pretending to be cleaned and doing her job. The people in Ph are now in bad mood for Delima, Drillon, Trillanes and Hontiveros They are true devils in Philippines.
-
@cely I didn’t you are a Filipino. Truthfully, basing from your profile photo I thought you are an American. Well, maybe because you have a good close up photo.
Anyway, about Leila De Lima and the sex scandal and the drug trades and the issue at New Bilibid Prison. It has branched now to many issues and stories and that includes intimate moments of the senator, wigs, crush among others. I am just so amused of the so many memes in the facebook. Well, I think we need to focus now on drugs.

I think those who make drug practice why the government does not take action against the such people because there is some secrets behind it working in the bottom of the political sea.
I say that Drug addiction is a chronic, often relapsing brain disease that causes compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences to the drug addict and those around them. Drug addiction is a brain disease because the abuse of drugs leads to changes in the structure and function of the brain.
But Many people don’t understand why or how other people become addicted to drugs. They may mistakenly think that those who use drugs lack moral principles or willpower and that they could stop their drug use simply by choosing to.
In reality, drug addiction is a complex disease, and quitting usually takes more than good intentions or a strong will. Drugs change the brain in ways that make quitting hard, even for those who want to. Fortunately, researchers know more than ever about how drugs affect the brain and have found treatments that can help people recover from drug addiction and lead productive lives.
Long-term use also causes changes in other brain chemical systems and circuits as well, affecting functions that include:
learning
judgment
decision-making
stress
memory
behavior

So Tadek and Gangsa are Dance and Musical instruments. It is played by elderly people. But I am seeing some young ladies in the picture posted. Why only elderly people play. Why they tap their foot back and why the ladies forward? The dance appears to be some similarities with the dances of Manipur and Mizoram. The theme behind the dance is also very excellent We may name it as harvest dance. Still how many dances are there. What is the main dance of the people?
-
Tadek is a traditional practices and traditions are best practice by the elder people. But tradition is dying because of modern living. The most effective to pass the tradition is to teach them to the younger generations, which being done now in our region. The steps are being taught to them and there are reasons why it is done like that.
But actually, tadek is not only for harvest dance, this can also be perform in weddings, rituals, festivals among others. Every occasion varies different kind of tadek dance.

You have mentioned that the person in question was an Octagenarian and he was digging for a root crop. How can he dig such a deep one? He was aged and weak also. The reason for killing this man might be due to old rivalry resulted as an act of revenge. or;
While digging for the root crop he might have noticed some hidden treasure. As he could not lift it up he might have sought the help of another person, who after seeking the treasure might have killed him with greediness. or while taking out the treasure some passerby might have noticed him and killed him taking everything. Anything is possible. This is money which does not require any mercy and relationships end up in acquiring. No father, mother, sister and other relations. Money has become the ultimate truth in life. Or he might have noticed some hidden drugs while digging and somebody might have killed him and took possession of the drugs.
I do not think there are any other reasons than the above.
This is in which country?-
Everybody now has their own speculations to the incident but lets just say the angel of hidden treasure is out because of the history and previous lives of the victim.
His son was shot to death last month because he is considered one of the bigger drug personality in their town. Allegedly, his son was also involved in other lawlessness in their place that include shooting and killing. But because of the influence and fear, they never went to a jail.
He might be old but revenge is just one of the angle of this incident.

The last mass is on Christmas day. The Christmas celebrations continue to the First Sunday in January when Epiphany or the Feast of the Three Kings is celebrated. In the Philippines the early masses held before Christmas are called the ‘Misa de Gallo’ or ‘Simbang Gabi’ in Filipino.
People in the Philippines like to celebrate Christmas for as long as possible! The playing of Christmas carols in shops can start in September! The formal Christmas celebrations start on 16th December when many people go the the first of nine pre-dawn or early morning masses. The last mass is on Christmas day. The Christmas celebrations continue to the First Sunday in January when Epiphany or the Feast of the Three Kings is celebrated.
In the Philippines the early masses held before Christmas are called the ‘Misa de Gallo’ or ‘Simbang Gabi’ in Filipino.
Most Filipinos are Christians with about 80% of people being Catholics. It’s the only Asian country with so many Christians. Because of this, Christmas is the most important holiday in the Philippines. December is actually one of the ‘cooler’ months of the year in the Philippines. The Philippines only has two real seasons, wet (June to October) and dry (April and May). December is one of the months in between the wet and dry seasons.
Christmas customs in the Philippines are a mixture of western and native Filipino traditions. (Christianity became widely known in The Philippines in the 1500s when missionaries from countries like Portugal and Spain traveled to the area.) So people in the Philippines have Santa Claus (or ‘Santa Klaus’), Christmas trees, Christmas cards and Christmas carols from western countries!

Everyone is deserved to bear the fruits of our honest labor. We should be grateful with this kind of people to work for us with so much passion and dedication they never even tired of working for the best that they can be.
That is right. Their services to the people are priceless, they devout they time and effort and sometimes own resources just to serve the people their their outmost.
We will all come to this stage of life. We will become a 30 year, 35 year and 40 year loyalty award. This might be a passion in staying for such a long time in one work and doing it for the rest of his life. Life is really amazing.
That is life… for no work, no money,for no money so hard to buy our daily needs. Our daily needs are very vital.Love flies in the window the old folks said of stomach is empty, hahahaaha.
Time really flies, and we will realize that when we are already old, when we retire from our work and all we do in our home is to sit in the chair while waiting for another sunset of the day.
Its hard, we value the value of time when we are already old. During our younger years, we devout our time in working and serving the people. Now that we are old, we are longing for it but seems they don’t remember our sincerity in our past work. Loyalty awards is such a great memory by then.
Everyone who works in public service is legible for being paud their servi e money after servinv the government for years on end. I just don’t like it when people work for years and when the time comes for them to retire they are not paid their dividend that’s very bad
If a worker has worked diligently for more than 20 years they derse to be rewarded handsomely for their dedication, because it is not easy to sit in the same seat be in the and building seeing him same office setting every passing day for 20 years the leave there empty handed that’s inhuman.
Sometimes I’m thinking why they don’t lower the retirable year for a worker so that they can enjoy the prime of their golden years. Lets say retiring at 50 years old or 55 years old. At least they can still enjoy their life by having some good vacations in other countries of eating good food. they have pensions to spend and that is really good thing to do rather than just by buying it medicines for their health.
