To be tested. (A)

   Good day everyone. It is now another day in the circle of life. We wake up in the morning and some of us recite our morning prayer to set into motion the beginning of another day. We begin a day, and we pray and hope that it will bring this a better and prosper day. Unaware that today will be another day to be tested. People would assume that when someone say that you're going to be tested. They think that it is going to be an examination with great difficult and great struggle. And that is not completely true.
For test comes in many forms. Some test a simple to the things that we already know. I would they may simply be tested in how to be courtesy and kind. We will be taking into situation in which we must show how to be courtesy and kind to other people. It will probably be to people that we know or are close to us. Or maybe it will be just to a stranger. Either way will probably be tested to see if we can put into practice what we have already learned in our life. In this example is just one scenario.

   Now the test that you are probably thinking about mostly. Our test that will put us to see who we really are, or to see our work willpower or endurance. These are the kind of tests the people always fear that will come forward in our life. We fear for the possibility of failing or even creating the situation far worse. I say this because the law our life. Each individual are always been tested whether we aware of it or not. But now we are living at a unique time when humanity as a collective is being tested. For here in the United States we are being tested like in no other time we have been tested. For in many level. We are being tested in our emotionally, mentally, physically and even spiritually.
We are constantly always being hit from all direction. Emotionally we are being affected by being taken away our moment of happiness or I were feeling of being peaceful. Every time we strive for a moment of happiness. We will probably be reminded by someone that there is other people suffering in this country or in the world and that we do not deserve to be happy. Every time we tried to reach a level of peacefulness some terrible tragic will occurred in our society. Whether by a bomb threat or actually an explosion like the Boston bombing.
Mentally we are being affected by being taking away our understanding and logic. We have the understanding that we are protected by the Constitution and yet we have seen the Constitution being violated. It is logically that we have the media that would expose of this but we do not see it happening. And is also logically that we have representative and president that's supposed to uphold the Constitution. And yet we do not see this happening either.
Physically, we are being affected by being taken away our willpower. Just when we think we are truly moving forward in our pursuit of freedom and justice. We see a little bit more of our freedom been taken away in no justice being in force. It is almost like if one would be exercising for a month and when we go to weight our self we see we have not lost my even an ounce. Meaning that it affect us internally physically.
Spiritually. We are being affected by being taken away our faith. This has always been the nation of religious faith and yet when we wish to practice our faith. We are being told to suppress it for it might offend someone else, and the media and government is accepting this. And in country outside of the United States. If you belong to a particular religion you will probably be persecuted and even being tortured in a most horrible way, and the rest of the world is affecting this. And here in the United States the atheist group are being given more leeway than religious group.

   And yet, despise our constant attack in our emotionally, mentally, physically and even spiritually. We must still hold our ground. Although sometime it feels drained and lack of willpower. And this is exactly their objective. To make you feel that is hopeless and no outlook for the future. And I would tell you one thing that I have been on the same boat with everyone else. And yet I have not lost faith or falter. I still have a great outlook into the future that we will overcome this great tests that each individual and humanity is going to.

   So you probably wondering where do I get my strength. It is very simple and it is something that always carry in my life. And that is that I know that no matter what is my limitation or my in profession that I may have. I AM still and always will be part of that great creator. With that concept and understanding knowing that I AM part of that universal consciousness that I also have that endless universal strength. Just when I think that I'm losing my willpower I set my mind to that universal strength in charge myself again. Just when I think I'm losing my understanding and logic. I set my mind to that universal understanding. Just when I think I'm losing my in motion. I set my mind to that universal peacefulness, tranquility and harmony. And just when I think I'm losing my faith. I set my mind and will member once more again that the creator is within me.

What this great nation and the country all over the world of going through. I know for certain that we were all overcome this moment in time when we are being tested the most.

Sometime do not take life too seriously. :-D 

The ONE.

    With all strive to do something great, something meaningful, something that create an impact. With all work hard to achieve that great particular goal that will make a Mark in this world. Humanity go about trying to make their Mark in different ways.

Some may choose for fame and glory. Many may go about to becoming a great actor or performer. Some may choose to be a great singer and musician. With the hope that it was spreading throughout the world and making their mark.

Other may look upon making their mark in a different manner. By way of political or public figure. They may choose to create an impact by putting out an idea that will improve a nation. While other may choose to become a writer and put out an idea that will improve a society.

Many will decide to make their mark in the spiritual circle. Whether by participating in a religious teaching seeking for the meaning of the universe, and then sharing with other in ways that it would impact their lives. Other may seek for spiritual awakening from other philosopher who look upon life with a simple view and yet with a complex understanding.

Many would jump from different stage to stage looking for where they can be, and where the spotlight can shine on them. Always trying to find something that can impact the massive. Where their voice can be heard in a multitude. Where they can be recognized among the many. And yet and all of that they fail to see where they were destined to be to make their Mark. And that is that the people close to them when they came to be from the very beginning.

The moment they step into this world. That their destiny has been written, in the people that they come to meet when they came onto the stage of life. They fail to make an impact in their lives. Sometimes the simplest action that can make an impact in another human being will make a big different.
Maybe by saying I love you when they least expect it. Maybe by saying how special they are when they fail to see how really special they are. Or even to say thank you when they haven't done anything to be thankful for. At the end that is all wonderful and it is good that you're making a different.

   Now here comes the greatest wisdom. Not even those so very close to you are the reason for you to make your mark. The one place, the one thing, the one person what you have to leave your mark in life.

 "Is You" "The One".

 For what ever you do outside of yourself has already been coordinated mathematically by a sequence of event that already has been set into motion. So then the last place for you to make your mark is in that one place. And that is yourself.

   Every time you think you are making yourself greater or lesser. Every time you take a step you may go forward or backward. Every time you take an action you will push yourself in becoming wiser for indirect. That is the last and only place where you should strive to make an impression on Mark. For what you have not realize yet that in a million years from now when you have looked back in all those thousands of life that you went through, and all those billions of souls that you have touched their lives. And then you will see the mark and you will see what you have become.

Why have ethic? (B)

   In continuing from part (A). So how do we build our ethical values? A great deal of it come from what we learned from our parents. They teach us what is right and wrong in how we should conduct an behave in a society. Up parents are our major factor in how we are about to develop our ethical values and rules. Another factor in our development in ethical values come from seeing other people and especially in public figure. In fact, according to historians insult to study, they indicate that a great deal of our moral value came from Royal dynasty. For an example in Great Britain, the society that was being developed at that time. Look up to the Royal family in how they interact with each other and the common people. So the British people began to copy some of their ethical values and conduct. Most of our ethic in regarding to appropriate setting and behavior at a dinner table came from Great Britain. We American also copy the behavior and conduct of famous public figure.

 

   For the last couple years I've been seeing a decline in moral values. In fact, it is believed that it began doing the 60s about the time of Kennedy. During the time of the Kennedy administration. People have been talking about how the Kennedy's men have been womanizer. Some of you may remember the issue of Marilyn Monroe and JF Kennedy. At that time they were gossip and article regarding to the matter. Even Ted Kennedy had issues. Like when there was an accident and Ted Kennedy car fell into the river killing his secretary. It was believe that he was having an affair with his secretary. And what about the Clinton administration when it was discovered that he was having an affair in the White House.

But politician I'm not the only one who are conducting a moral. As some of you have already known famous actors and music artist also come to view in how society learn ethical values. Like I said before I believe all of this has started doing the 60s. Like for an example, the Beatles when they frist began to smoke marijuana and even committed to the habit. Then it became popular for more music artist and actors to induce in their drug habit. It is bad enough that they began in this terrible habit, but when the public discover what they're doing they copied them. But of course, way before their marijuana habit they were known for their alcohol abuse. There was a time when such a news would create such a scandal, that whoever was a famous public figure they would have difficult in continuing their professional career. But nowadays if a famous actor or music artist is arrested for possession of illegal drugs or alcohol, their scandal will become popular and more famous. How can we expect to develop moral values when the media will report this as just another incident. You do not here anymore how this is a terrible disgrace and embarrassment and even shameful behavior. But instead, it's just a poor innocent actor with a little bad habit. That we must be tolerant and be forgiven to those poor actors and music artists for the stupid drug habit.

Since we no longer take alcohol and drug habit as a severe and shameful habit. We are now seeing society accepting these behavior as a normal issue. It has become such a normal issue that politician, actors, music artist and even religious figure becoming more famous for the immoral behavior. And if they died from their drug habit. There funeral become more famous and after the death they become just as famous. As a small example for those who died from drug overdose, Elvis Presley, Whitney Houston, John Belushi, Philip Seymour Hoffman. These are just some of the famous actors and music artist that have died from alcohol or drug abuse.

And now we have state that are recognizing and accepting legalizing marijuana. Like Washington state and Colorado and California. I'm not going to say that this is the beginning of a decline of the moral value in our country, but I will say that it has begun to decline of moral value in our country. It is not up to the individual post to hold ethical values. In a sense of moral attribute. I rather be the only one left on earth that was still hold some ethical values. That is why that in my social network and in my blog I do not use foul language. Although I am capable of expressing anger and frustration. I believe that they are on the way of expressing yourself without unnecessary language.

Thank you for coming to my blog. Before leaving any comment please take a look at the important note to your right.

How to forgive. (A)

   To be forgiven is a noble attribute for someone to have. It is an action of compassion and tolerance. In every religion and philosophy, they talk about how to express and practice in "how to forgive". There is even a quote that go like this, "To err is Human,to forgive is Divine" by Alexander Pope. Forgiving is an aspect that humanity have that make us more civilized and spiritual. It is an action that help us grow and go above our ego and selfishness. In Judaism, Christianity and Buddhism, it is one of the fundamental basic for their religion. And in the philosophy community from around the world. It is thought and express in many levels. But

Here are some few quote that I found out of many.

And here is a portrait of forgiveness.


If you tried to reach inside your heart you can find forgiveness,
or at least the start.
Informed that place where you can forgive is where hope and love,
also thrive in live.

And with each step that you tried to take and with that chance that your heart break.
Come so much happiness, and so much different,
which alone can carry you a fantastic let.

For hate and anger would not get you there and through you say that you just don't care.
You can EASILY avoid the pain on wish hate feeds,
the kind of hurt the no one needs.

Just make the move,
take the firt stride let go of the thing known as "Foolish Pride".
Maybe then you can start to repair the past into something strong,
that will mend and last!

   But like everything nowadays, people in our society have taking the Constitution, Religion and Philosophy to accommodate their own personal need. People knowingly that they are doing things that is unacceptable and ethically wrong. And expected to be forgiven, with no retribution or consequence. They are expected to be forgiven and will remind you of your religious oath and a civil right. But people are losing the ability to understand the balance of when to forgive and when not to forgive. Just like freedom of speech and expression that are literally being abuse from their original concept. Forgiveness is being given the same treatment of abuse and the meaning of their own original concept. There is a well-known phrase that go like this "forgive but do not forget". Does that mean we should forgive someone completely?

Sometime forgiving someone does not necessarily would help them. People need to learn that they are responsible for the action, in need to be prepare to deal with their consequence of the action. Sometime forgiving someone may cause more harm than good. People will take advantage of the opportunity to continue to make the same mistake knowing that they would easily be forgiven. Despite some limitation, religion do have an important function in keeping our society from being destructive. It tells you what happened when you sin and what is your consequence for your action. It also tells you how to deal with your sin and how you can forgive yourself.

Even if you are not a religious person and you prefer to inclined yourself more on philosophy. Even in the community of philosophy ideas. People have taken advantage of the philosophy ideas for the own greedy need. Sometime people would tell you that if you cannot forgive them, that you are not a good or spiritual person. And that it is not true. We forgive other only so we can grow out of holding anger or hatred within our self.

   But at the end the only one that can forgive you is the creator. The creator is the only one that can forgive you and have a value impact in your life. And also the only one that can also forgive you is yourself. You can try to deceive yourself. Even though you know that whatever you don't it is wrong. So how can you forgive yourself? Well, you must 1st rectify your mistake, whether by fixing the problem or confronting the situation. Once you resolve the problem, you must find it within yourself to forgive. And obviously, if you learned your lesson avoid repeated again.
