I have such a great family ...

Took the children up to Awana for a night's stay. They are always excited to go places. Noel and Evan woke up exceptionally early as they normally would when they're excited about a trip regardless where, as long as they have each other, their parents and grand parents behind them.

I look at both of them and admire their innocence, the sense of wonder which children naturally possess. People in general grow up loosing faith as they face the harsh realities of life in the urban culture that was condition on to us. A monetary base system that implicitly keeps society enslave in order to survive. 

A system that is controlled by a few in power at the top. It's hard for people not to become cynical when they are bombarded incessantly by aggression, destruction, discrimination, greed and the unfairness that is happening around us. The majority of wealth in the world is owned by a small group of people living luxuriously while children around the world are dying everyday from hunger and preventable diseases.

 

We live in a world where people will do whatever it takes to attain power regardless of the consequences impose on others, where those in power will stage attacks on their own citizens to propagate war on the powerless for corporate profits. How can anyone not lose their sense of innocence or to live in peace knowing this alarming facts. Can we be ignorant and pretend that everything is fine just because we're living comfortably? 

I believe that everything came from the universe, from the same source but through time, we have grown so far apart. People establish institutions, social classes, religions that divides human kind. People essentially abuse the world and manipulate each other for monetary gains. Can there really be sincerity when the root system that governs the world is base on profits? When the world is a "business"?

   

With these realities of life present, I feel truly bless that I have such a great family and thank my lucky stars for what i have. Being able to experience love with my wife and children gives me hope and makes life worth living. 

We strive and struggle to make sense of our existence searching for peace, happiness, love and purpose in our lives. What is your take on life? Are you just doing what everyone is doing without question? Have you ever stop from your daily chores, distraction and urgent matters to reflect on what's important?
