Ang article kong off-topic


On My Way - Boyce Avenue





Ang cute niya diba.


It is so bizarre to see a plant rooted on a gutter. But the fact is, I am not happy seeing it. Any time it will die - so vulnerable, so brittle. But what makes me astonish is how it shine despite the fact that soon it will wither. The plant looks good though it is under a great struggle of survival.

A writer, Storm Jameson , said, "Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed." Indeed we can find happiness if we live simply. Appreciate small details of life for we do not know that maybe those small details will become a BIG THING for us in the future. It is a need and a must to love and to be loved. We exist not for ourselves alone but for a reason, a purpose: To Love and be loved. To give importance and to be important, to share and to accept, to forgive and be forgiven, to teach and to learn. We are a big circle. One is connected to another and to another - an endless chain. Freedom is what we are longing. There is no absolute freedom. “No rules” is not freedom at all. Imagine if it is legal to kill someone, to steal and the like. That is chaos. The freedom is doing things which will make us happy without guilt feeling - things that will make someone happy. Freedom is not being dormant. It is taking risks to be happy.

However, do not do things that we will regret in the future. Whom we are today is what we are tomorrow. In sociology, there s two types of observation, participant and non-participant. Be a participant observer but do not go beyond the limitations. Again, who we are today is what we are tomorrow.

Embrace the past, even if pain is all in it. The greatness of the present is because of the past's failures and successes, past. Past is all about things learned, wisdoms earned.

Face TODAY, we cannot change the past nor control the circumstances of the future. Smile at the world and the world will smile back at us. No use to yearn over what had happened. Worrying the future is a senseless thing to do. Today is at our control. Be contented with what we have while striving what we will have.

Hope for the future. Hoping is different from expecting. Hoping desires to have good results of what we had done, while expecting is longing for something which is sometimes beyond reality. Hoping often brings motivation, while expecting brought us pressures. Hoping often results contentment, expectation produces frustration. We do not know what lies ahead. However, we must HOPE for the best.


God bless all.
