Will you FORGIVE or FORGET?

            This world is full of hardships and problems. You cannot survive this world if you are weak, BE STRONG! There are people that will underestimate you, people that will hurt you and people that will be the cause of your fall. These people are not meant to be your friends, especially TO BE YOUR PROBLEMS.

            Let me tell you a story. A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.When the concern father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.

            What do you think were the four words?The husband just said “I LOVE YOU DARLING”.

            That time the husband's reaction is not the expected one. The boy is dead. He can't bring back the boy to life again. But still, he did not blame the wife for the incident. It is maybe because he thought that no one wants that to happen. What both of them need that time was peace, forgiveness from each other and love. The husband gave those things to his wife.

            Do you think both of them will forget that incident, their child died? No right, although they forgive each other, they can't forget that incident. 

            Many times of our lives we ask who to blame for something, whether in a realtionship, school work and in our own house. For that forgiving is not only for other people, forgiving is also for yourself to move on but not forget. Do not multiply pain, suffering and anger in you, learn how to forgive but do not forget. Do not forget because these things will be your strength in facing problems in life, these memories will make you braver and stronger, so DO NOT FORGET.

            If everyone will learn how to forgive other people and ourselves life would be happier. Let's revise the quote "The best way to forgive is to forget", let's make it "Learn to forgive others and yourself, instead of having anger in you make this as your strength in life."

Our Own Identity

            I have my own identity, YOU have yours, WE all have our own identity. Our identity might be our physical features, our attitudes and other things about us. These things made us unique. There are persons who are athletic and there academically inclined. What are the differences and similarities between the two? Is this a problem?

            Everybody is unique. I might be an athletic one, you might be an academically inclined one. It is not a problem. There are disadvantages and advantages for being athletic and the same as being academically inclined person. When you're a athletic person you're body is absolutely sexy and when you're an academically inclined one you have a risk to be very fat because you're just reading and reading you don't have time to exercise. This is just one difference of the two. If you're an athletic person it doesn't mean that you're not focusing on you're studies it just means that you're more focused on your games. But if you're an academically inclined one there's a possibility that you don't know how to play heavy sports like volleyball and basketball. An athletic person is a happy and a crazy person in a good way while an academically inclined one maybe very serious and not that very good in social gatherings. These two kind of persons have its similarities too. If you're either an athletic or academically inclined one you still need to have great focus, focus in studies or games. You should be thankful even if you're either an athletic or academically inclined person because this means that you're good in something.

            I can say that I am an athletic person I am good in academics but not that good. I think I am better when it comes to sports and games. If God will give me another chance to be a child again I will choose to be an academically inclined person because we can learn how to play a game but the intelligence of an academic person is not easy to achieve. But I am still thankful to God because of all the things he gave me. Thank you God.

            How about you, do you want to change yourself right now? 

The Prayer

Lord God, you've made all the things in the Earth. Then,

You've given us courage and to face the problems, strength.

You are our only God, the mighty God we praise.

You've made this world for me and for the entire human race.

Today that we are abusing the Mother Earth,

And some people are dying because of thier health,

While some people are enjoying using Earth's wealth,

Nature made its revenge and bring us climate change.

We're crazy for money, success and everything nice. 

Nature showed its anger to us who think we're wise.

Now the country is experiencing calamities,

Help us, especially those with disabilities.

Help the people who are experiencing hunger.

Also help the people whose hearts are with anger.

You're our only savior. Help us to carry on.

In these times of our lives you're the only one to lean on.

Lord God, help us survive life. We want to live.

We want to live peacefully, praising you, our God.

Help the victims especially the poor victims.

Lord God, please HELP us, SAVE us and FORGIVE us. AMEN.
