Completing each other..

Good day to you.

I would like to share about Man and Woman. Yesterday I heard preach from one of my local area priest.
He said that, the rib will protect the heart but without the heart, rib will be useless.

That symbolizes Man and Woman. We are different in nature but need each other to live. We can see that a some of the male said female cause a lot of problem and better not to have them and vice versa. But the fact is that, we need each other to survive.

The key of peaceful relationship with each other is understanding with each other. We do not have to be 100% the similar with each other to colaborate. Popular saying is "Man are from Mars and Women are from Jupiter". The person who created the saying is a wise person for he truly understand the differences between male and female.

Other than that, to understand sometimes mean to sacrifice. We do not have to be on the winning side all the time. Sometimes we need to admit that we are not perfect. Ego is good but hyper-ego is bad. If we do not control our ego to the acceptable level, we will tend to always blame other people or situation and never see us as part of what makes it a bad happening (Ironically for good happening, we will proudly announce that we are part of the source). In short, mirror yourself and embrace your weaknesses.

Do not be afraid to ask the member of the opposite sex about their perspective on us. In that way, we will see us through other people eyes. In that way, we will be wise enough to act on any situation. Whatevr that we decide, is for the best of both parties.

Remember, God do not create Man and Woman without any reason. Believe in that.

Regards,

Tim

Who is bad and who is good?

Shalom my fellow brothers and sisters.

My sharing today is on what I got from watching the movie Shaolin starred by Andy Lau, Jackie Chan and more. Initially I thought that the reason for me to watch the movie is solely for the kung fu action inside. But after went through the movie, experiencing the moral of the story from this movie, I was really touched.

The story started with an army general (Andy Lau) who stops at nothing in order to achieve his ambition all the states in China. The character of the general is totally negative, filled with greed, anger, and he even kill people inside the Shaolin temple (which suppose to be holy place).

Betrayal, is another thing in this story. How the general's second man (the one he trusted) betrayed him during his plan to betray his sworn brother (betrayal above betrayal). What we give, we get back.

This is the part when the general's life become up side down. He was beaten up. His wife is missing. His daughter died. During that time, he ended in the place where he messed up before, Shaolin Temple. Normally, human will have vengeance on others. "You treat me good, I will treat you 100 times good. But if your treat me bad, I will counter with 100 times bad". That is typical human thinking. But what happen is, the Shaolin monk helped the general and ignoring all the bad things he had done to them. One slap on the general's mind.

Turning point. The general decided to join the Shaolin monks. Repented. Doing good deeds. Thinks even better than the other monks who had been living in the temple for years. The leader of the monk did say that, to judge anothe human is not human job. Every human was born with good things inside them. Before this, the general is the most cruel human but now, he has change...

Same goes to us. We normally put brand on other people whenever we look at them doing bad things. We will never know, those who we say bad may one day turn out to be a better good person compare to us. I am not saying that we are bad than others. I just want to point out that we human must see the good side of other human. Do good deeds. Help those in need sincerely. If you see other people are "lost", guide and help them. Not just condemning them. Those who condemning others are those who are condemning themselves. So, be careful when you are talking bad about others.

Let's think about it.

Tim
