When things in good shape, non of us need questioning and reasoning why we are IN good shape and happy. Everyone of us are in unison with spirit and mind. No problems....nothing that can create chaos, can cause pain and suffering that will end us crying.
But life is not all smooth sailing....not all cemented road...humps and bumps are all over the place...not all silence....there are few unwelcome sounds of guns and the killings....the peace is out of reach....even just for once since I was born and up to these day I never heard the so called TOTAL PEACE ON EARTH....
Christmas, Valentines, Lenten Season and all the so called special ONE day of celebration.....it still not doing any perfect solution to all our earthly desire of greed and power.
Christmas...isn't it be the beginning of giving and sharing and loving to promote Peace On Earth...but truly there are some thousands if not millions of our fellow human being have nothing of basic needs. But in developed countries all the lavish of material things that they don't even know what to do with them, until the next morning ends their fate in the garbage truck...
Christmas time is now approaching and I am afraid what was the year after and before and after then and now it won't be of no difference...there are still millions of people living in refugee camps and in hunger. Millions of people living in the street begging for mercy, millions of children no place to go.
Christmas they said that it is for families....but sad to say there are millions of older parents left unvisited for days, months, years and even until there dying days are totally forgotten....only to be remembered after they died...everyone will say 'to pay for their last respect to the dead.' Gosh what is the use....the dead person can't even hear, see or understand them...they're dead.....why not come when they're still alive and can see the smiles and appreciate your love...
Valentine's....hmmmmmmm everyone knows what is this meant....and I can't comprehend too...for me everyday is Valentine's Day... at night before we go to sleep we say to our love ones good night with a hug and a kiss, tell them that we love them and when we wake up in the we welcome the day of saying ...good morning, hug, kiss and tell them again we love them....for there is no other time, no better good time than that of the present moment!
Easter or Lenten the time to repent....but we do really? I don't repent for that days only....I repent every time I realized that I made mistake, that I said something not nice to other people, when I've done something hurtful to others, when I am unfair to others, when I am in hypocrite in some ways...for me Lenten/Easter Season is of personal choice so as the rest of all the celebrations....for in truth almost of the so called One Day Special Celebrations including...mother's day, father's day and all the rest of the Days...that commercial institution can think of is just a farce........
FOR IN MY VIEWS....EVERY DAY IS A CELEBRATION OF ALL SEASONS OF MY HEART OUR HEART AND THAT IS LIFE AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
