It’s been quite a while since I blogged. In fact I have to think quite hard to remember those days when I felt the incredible desire to just write.
I guess I can excuse all this on death. When it creeps on a loved one, it takes a part of the souls of the ones left. Death, though inevitable is never really expected. You can prepare yourself all you want to handle it all gracefully but when it actually happens all plans shatter.
Life suddenly loses its colorful meaning and becomes bleak and mute. Everything redefines itself to a sorrowful and sad state full of deep pain and regrets never felt before.
There’s still so much I want to express about all this but now is not the time.

Not everyone will or even knows how to value themselves let alone to value another, even if they seem to show value. We cannot expect to be valued unless we are humble in spirit, have a close connection to God, follow our faith with good will, love and respect our families and other fellow human beings and work towards the greater good. Only then can we hope and expect to meet people of the same caliber and God willing, progress in the positive direction.
However, God does work in mysterious ways and sometimes we’re blessed with people of a higher caliber so we can learn and work on progress and sometimes it’s the other way around and we need to help them up.

I met a woman recently who was convinced that her failing marriage was entirely the fault of the woman that her ex-husband cheated with and remarried. She wished and prayed daily for nothing more than an eternal life of much damnation for this woman.
I don’t believe she’s succeeded.
I tried with much effort to feel her pain and empathize. I tried to make her see some reason and focus on her growing children and their future. I tried to convince her to save her prayers for useful matter and turn her devotion back to God. I tried to ask her to leave her ex-husband and this woman in God’s capable hands and trust God’s will.
I don’t believe I succeeded.

I have come to see how quickly one can change. How quickly evil can seep into people. It’s all a matter of habit. I strongly believe that.
I have always been fond of saying how we are all creatures of habit and I firmly believe it to this day. Habits, good or bad, define us. They define our quality of life, character, ethics and foundation of beliefs.
Unfortunately many bad actions, though they may seem insignificant at the time, if repeated will very likely develop into long-term habits. Such habits can include drinking, smoking, using violence, gossiping, judging, embracing sheer arrogance or spreading ignorance at worst.
I feel truly blessed to be able to at least detect this and to try and sometimes be able to stop the growth of such mold wherever possible. I just hope others do too.

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” – Aesop
“The official death toll from Burma’s killer cyclone has nearly doubled to 78,000 as aid workers hampered by the country’s un-cooperative military regime struggled to get basic data about the needs of up to 2.5 million desperate survivors.
Burma state television said the official death count from the May 3 cyclone was 77,738, with another 55,917 missing. The Red Cross warned that the lack of clean water may increase the number of deaths.” – Press Association
Let’s put Humanity First! Let’s not buy that nice dress or shoes this weekend and donate at least $20 that could essentially save lives. There will always be nice dresses and shoes in stores but lives cannot be reversed!
Remember that WE ARE BLESSED! We are blessed to have a home, have shelter, food, money, access to technology, health care. We are blessed to be able to see, write, type, read, listen and not be afraid for our lives and the lives of our loved ones.
If situation was reversed, we’d plead for help and people would step up from all over the world to help. We have to do the same. We are all of one kind. We laugh, and cry, and are as vulnerable if put in the same conditions. We deserve to have our basic necessities of life met.
Please help Humanity First help those in great need. Every dollar counts. Every dollar always counts!
