Short trip to the East

My family went to eastern city of Kuantan recently. It was the first time I went there and the 3 hours journey was enjoyable and cool. The traffic was not that heavy too compared to here in the capital.

The 3 hours journey was good, thanks to the chat I had with the people in my car. Else, I will be falling asleep. Actually I was there to bring my family for a tour of the country. It is my first time there too. Marie Callas says its an auspicious period for me to travel and she was right... Everything went smoothly. Nothing went missing! (for those who don't know, some items will go missing whenever we go for family outing)

We stayed at the hotel facing the scenic view of Kuantan river. There's an esplanade along the river and we rested at the eatery stalls over there. The food was decent and fragrant. Nothing to complain about except the sweltering weather.Yeah this is a nice place and i love this country.

Cutting it short..i plan to go there again in near future. The kids love it.

a precarious moment

As i am writing this post, a tension is building up intensely in North Asia where N Korea is going to test a missile in the pretext of "self defence". This has brought jitters among superpowers and N Korea's neigbhouring countries. Personally, i think this is not right and can be viewed as an act of potential aggression disguised a national defence.

Just imagine your neighbour practising archery by shooting arrows across your compound to the open land beyond that. Would you feel good about that? No, i think you will want to confront them with your own dose of "arrows". The outcome is of course wars!

I am a peace loving guy and I advocate humanity and compassion. I just do not understand what some political leaders are thinking. I think they are all a bunch of idiots, and somehow we are ruled by these idiots. Ultimately i believe all of them are self serving protecting own interests rather than serving people.

Sad state of affairs huh?

Forgiveness - wisdom of living

Marie Callas tells me in her letter that the Law of Forgiveness is working in your life everyday whether you authorizs it or not. This is not a law that you are bound by - it is a universal principle that has existed even before man set foot on the earth.

When you practice forgiveness, you find that others begin to treat you differently, and they really open you to you after some time..its like seeing light at the end of the dark long tunnel and you feel the glee when there is finally light at the end of it. Some will appreciate you to such a degree that they will open themselves to you and give whatever they can to aid you.

The law of Forgiveness is a living mechanism which helps you to take back the power you may have thrown away in the past. It just doesn't worth it spiritually if you have some intense hatred or dislike for someone as you are simply wasting energy that can be used for more positive attitudes and experiences in life.

This is the universe working in harmony after forgiveness has cleared the way for peace. So, in forgiving others, we become the recipients of comfort, peace and happiness.

I find this is wisdom of living.
