When we walk on this way, the way of the Greatest Creator and the way of Lifechanyuan, we are destined to devote ourselves to the land that gives birth to us, to humanity, to nature and to all other lives. By giving out everything we have, we will achieve perfect souls, noble characters, and the life wealth which qualifies us to enter into heaven.

How did I start blogging?

 

As I have told somewhere here in EC that I am in the habit of reading.  I do not have the interest to read any specific subject.  I read whatever is in my reach, even the scrap of paper I pick up from the floor to throw away.  This reading habit built a desire in me that I would write something, but what, I didn’t have any idea.  Once I happened to visit a shrine, it was/is situated on the beach.  I sat in a corner and looked at the crowds of the people men, women and children were coming payin

A watermelon that is picked violently will not be sweet and a person acting under duress does not perform efficiently. Rowing a boat down a river is better than sailing up against the current and buying a needle is better than grinding an iron rod into one. Enjoying hardships is better than struggling against them, so rather than forcing yourself to fight, you  should just submit and rela

The nuclear bombs which the U.S dropped on Japan in the final stage of World WarⅡ took many lives including many babies, children, women and elderly. I wonder what Japanese people think about this tragedy now. Most Japanese didn't experience the war because it was even seventy two years ago. If I am asked if Japanese people hate the U.S now because of this, I say that many Japanese people don't.

We learned that the Japanese army in those days made a mistake and acted terribly. I don't know why

We Stand Together, Barcelona

2347452494?profile=original

My thoughts and prayers to the victims and families of the terror attacks in Barcelona, Spain. I hope my Spanish friends and their loved ones are safe!

I haven't been there yet, but Barcelona is one of the places that I'd love to visit in the future. I heard the city is known for breath-taking and majestic tourist attractions. In addition, most people are friendly and hospitable, the qualities that Filipinos have also possessed.

It seems as if no one is safe anymore regardless of our location. My

     Don't let the comely look of woman and her pulchritude deceive you. Or let's say don't be gullible in front of her beauty.

Man, who choose his girlfriend just for her appearance without any attention to her personality at the end he will stop loving her. Because beauty is not everything, there is something higher than the comely appearance. it's the pulchritude of their soul and mind.

“Don't go for looks; they can deceive. 
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. 
Go for someone who makes

Pulchritude ... made to please the eyesight of humankind. How would we know the differences in between the opposites if we weren't enriched with all this comeliness, to be found all around us.

How would we know how to appreciate.

Pulchritude what is it? So fleetingly a term. Through decades Poets, Artists, Painters, Writers and Worshippers have tried through their works to give a clear picture of what is comely.

Did they succeed? I believe they must have, elsewise we wouldn't be repeating thi

what is smartness?

Actually what is smartness? Many people tend to think, who wear gorgeous clothes or look beautiful or are brave enough to take bold steps or decisions in their life, they are damn smart, but is it true? To me, smartness is a total package, there are many things/criteria. For example, if a person wears nice/ fashionable dress but he speaks in a bad/wrong/in appropriate way and  does not know/not aware what to say and what not to say in a particular situation is not a smart guy. Yes, I can add som
