I Need To Know

To be a good human, I need to know what empathy is.  To be a better human, I have to comprehend what suffering is.  I cannot think I know and yet be oblivious to sense other people's thinking and, more importantly, their feelings.  Thinking and knowing are totally different.  And, I should not even try at assuming.

To understand another, I have to know how he or she feels.  Do I have the ability to identify and understand another person's emotions?  Does my limited experience qualify me that I truly care for others, the way my intellect thinks I do?  Do I react with others with my IQ or EQ?  Am I swayed by arrogance to think my intellect knows it all, all the time?

I have to find time to know and how much I know.  Have I really gone through the feeling of abandonment, betrayal, hurt, neglected, pain (the list goes on) before?  Have I dealt with grief of losing a loved one?  

Have I been misjudged, threatened and struggled to prove my innocence?  Have I been without money? It is good that I find time to ponder on everything about life.  The more I recognize hardship, the better I think.

Sympathy is good but when I am unable to relate myself deep with another, I fail to grasp what life is.  When I cannot fully follow the emotions, I might have a problem to accept the situation.  Likely, I will make assumption and make a bad judgement.

I have to live knowing that I have limitations.  But, my limitation must not limit me to do something great everyday.  I must live to be kind, be loving and be useful to another soul.  I have to think the little things that I can do are not tiny matters.  May the blessings be.

I love you.  I am sorry.  Please forgive me.  Thank you.

Circle In The Sand

Life.   What do I think of it?  What do I want out of it?  How do I want to live it?  What motivates me to live?  What truly drives me to succeed? Without knowing what life is and how I want it to be, life gets stagnant.  Worse, everything I do will be circle in the sand that goes round and round.  I am not allowing the light inside me to become brighter.  It is a disservice should I not let Life to grow to its full potential. My light has to guide me.  My intuition should be the legs to walk me.  My gratitude will be the golden key that opens all opportunities.  I have to take awareness seriously.  It is to realize on the consciousness towards my existence leading to a man’s search for meaning. Every day, I am faced with the never ending battle between what I feel and what I know.  There is a persistent stubborn voice of reason trying to fix what is not meant to be.  There is constant struggle against a heart that wo...

The New Breeds Of Humans

Image
This entry is a dedication to one beautiful soul, in particular.   No, I am not going to talk about the individual - nor am I going to name few others, of the similar breed, whom I had met.  This entry is to highlight on their worldly existence.  From where I am, I should not dismiss their presence but to applaud their appearance. I like to share on the new breeds of humans.  No, I am not talking about the extra terrestrial lifeforms invading Mother Earth.  I am not talking about aliens.  I am not a science person.  I do not read much about UFOs nor do I have concrete ideas on them either. But, I want to dedicate this page about a special group of individuals.  They deserve to be talked about.  Their presence, as far as their impact on me, is important.  However, truth be told - I do not have enough knowledge to share about the breeds.  I do not have specific scientific details to describe them. I can never know on the full exi...

Everything Is Connected To Everything Else

I need to remind myself not to chase after Heaven, unrealistically, when my works on Earth are not done properly.  I have to make sure that my earthly duties are not neglected.  I need to perform them correctly and satisfactorily and I do them from a good heart. These earthly duties are my utmost responsibility for they are the yardsticks on my performance as a human, as a soul.   On the same principle,  I should never get too busy making a living that I forget to make a life.  How I spend my time on Earth is crucial.  It is what I do here that will determine my worth, my usefulness.  It is the sum total of my faith and my take on spirituality.  It has to be carried out with full consciousness in harmony with Heaven and Earth. Where there is a beginning, there is an end.  Death is not an ‘if’ but ‘when’.  How do I live?  Do I yearn for a beautiful ending at the end of my time on Earth?  Heaven rewards what I do with my lif...
