Shadows

What is in a shadow that is so intimidating? Is it the color? No, the color is simply the absence of other colors. Its shape? The shape is so inconsistent, it keeps on changing. Its length then? No, the length goes together with the shape? Then what is it? Well, for me, the shadow is intimidating because it reflects the dark side in all humans. Whether we like it or not, all of us have a dark core in us. The drive to sin is in all human form. the stuggle of freedom-unfreedom, the choice between what is good and what is easy is in all of us. The shadow is simply something like a projection...It tells us something we should be aware that is in all of us. But what is in us that stops the hunger in us...what is it? The drive to do the good is in us? Providence it seems is real. There is a call in all of us to do whatever it us we not only can but must. I don't know what else to type at the moment but I would like to leave an important message...The shadow is present when the sun is up because we are presented with the light of good and the reflection of evil at the same time. The shadow is gone when it is a rainy night because we do fail sometimes to choose the light over the reflection.

What do you see in a Mirror?

"it shows us nothing more than the deepest desires of our hearts" ... familiar? thsi line is actually from the 1st book in the harry potter series told by prof.dumbledore to harry in the room of the mirror of erised. as for me, i see myself in the mirror, and stuff that's been repeatedly reflected and the reflection tells me something, it tells me that tehr is always something more than meets the eye. i didn't understand at first but later i did, it's true, no mirror in the world (at least to this day) has the ability to reflect everything we want to see about us. it may reflect the outer self, the inner self is more tricky though, it's only reflected to a special type of mirror, most of whom don't know and the few who do cannot master it...it is the eyes which reflect the inner self. it is perhaps harder to see a person who wears glasses than to the person who doesn't... why? because the one thing that the pure eye provides is a gateway to the unexplored human soul of a person, but try wearing glasses and people find it harder to read what you're thinking, for the glass provides a barrier and can block often. there are somethings better kept hidden though, there are some things in this world, like pandora's box that are better left unexplored. problem now lies in which ones to tell or show and which too keep hidden...:-)

The Science of Providence

Nil Sine Numine is a very popular statement in Liceo, if my Latin serves me correctly, it's suppose to mean nothing without providence. what is providence? what is this guiding light everybody seems to think they follow? are we not capable of thinking for ourselves? I do not deny the existence of God however, he did not say 'leave it all to me', the Lord placed man as steward of His creation not a useless bag of bones with skin, we are suppose to look out for one another not just stay put and watch the beatiful creation destroyed by those who were placed to protect it. where is this providence now? there is suppose to be some study, some science of it, is that not right? well, all sciences now seek to prove than to improve, the science that has been handed down from generation to generation, from aristotle to pasteur to the current practicioners need not stay and breathe and enjoy. they are gifted with the potential to go further than the common man, the potential is burning deep within, a fervent desire to improve what has been discovered for the purpose of continuing human existence. but then again, wise men have said it time and again this eternal message which does not seem to sink in thought...potential that remains untapped remain potential

Nothing Seems Right

However wrong life may seem, something always turns up right even if it's just around the corner. If you believe the previous statement then you must not have had a day in your life wherein nothing seems right...although, i can't really blame anybody but myself when days like that happen to me, i mean destiny, fate, these are just terms people use to credit good luck or bad luck but the real score is what you do with your life. anybody could've painted Mona Lisa or the painting on the Sistine Chapel's ceiling. WWII might have had less deaths and casualties and bad memories if one guy hadn't risen to power in Nazi Germany. Guys like Da Vinci, Michaelangelo and Hitler did it because they could and they did. It really all boils down to the question, where do you want to go today? because where does not only refer to place, it could refer to imagination and ingenuity. but keep in mind, that you have to be a unique thinker in order to proceed to where the greatest men and women have ventured. You must think different because if you think like everybody else than what is the point of being you?

Hi

whoever got the idea of the blog must have been pretty smart...it's more of an internet diary right? well, i find it weird sometimes that as man proceeds in time, he becomes more open to society, right? but what if this wasn't true, what if while all of us were typing, some of us like to keep in with the "tradition" of privacy. not the normal privacy but the paranormal one. the one where you don't wanna meet people at all, where all you want to do is stay home, watch tv and be alone. and slowly these people watch as the earth evolves and they constantly keep an eye on these changes, they might feel that the world is changing too fast. and some of them, can't stand it, they rebel against technology itself. they begin to wonder if indeed technology helps or diminishes what was once thought to be pure, innocent and untouched - NATURE! but what these people don't understand is the blog is way far from environmental issues, the blog is more of an art, a science. it is an art in the sense that we, the more "up-to-date" individuals express ourselves in the world of today. well, for the science, it is all too technical to explain but the bottom line is that we still follow procedure and this is what connects us to the traditionals. nature has its own procedure of life&death,success&failure,victory&defeat,redemption&revenge. what is it in us all that makes us emotional towards other organisms? whyb can't technology hamper a man from watching the sunrise, from appreciating the sunset? from looking at his own reflection in the water, from stargazing at night? what is in us all that seems to connect us with the next being or the other lifeform and to all beings and lifeforms? what is in us that seeks this mutual relationship?
