"God is still NECESSARY"

Calling out a God is unnecessary.  Human beings call for a God because of the things they think they can’t solve out on their own.  When things get beyond their control or explanation they lean automatically to a God which is very imaginary.  We discussed man as a rationalized being.  Meaning, man has the capacity to offer reasonable explanation for something, however, by believing in this STOP GAP God, man is considered to be dehumanized for man becomes irrational.  He is deprived of something he must have, the right to think and search freely the truth.  It leads him to become intellectually lazy.  Hence, God is unnecessary to solve human problems.  Science and Technology had solutions to human problems which they think are enough.  They don’t need God to solve this; they can do it on their own.  What can a prayer do?  Can God present himself to us?  Can he solve our problems?  No, he can’t. Science is enough.  Everything is provided for us by science, and what they need to do is to make use of it.  Humans are capable of thinking on their own and they need not anyone especially God to hand down all the things that they need especially the solutions to their problem.  It can only dehumanize them in the sense that they are not becoming a rationalized being.  They are less human in that sense.  In the concept of atheism, we need to consider our humanity, because by keeping it means keeping also ourselves sane.  We don’t need anyone to shoulder all the things that we are going through except ourselves.

            On the other hand, what was written above was proven to be false by religion for not everything is can be solved by science and that God is still necessary to solve human problems.  There are some mysteries that are left unanswered by science and that only in religion we can find response to what we are really looking for.  It is not true that we need no one except ourselves. No man is an island; man needs someone to depend on.  It is expected that we as an insatiable being, look for something that is beyond all the plenitude that the world could offer to us.  By looking upon this beyond, we are aware not just as human beings with rational thoughts but human beings with religious or spiritual experience.  Science and technology may give us facts and solutions and yes it is true that God can’t solve human problems for he cannot present himself down here on earth to work for human problems; however, as a person with religious experience, God is still necessary simply because after clinging to Him there is a fulfilment on our part, we are satisfied because we become submissive to the one we know who is uncontainable. Lastly, there is unexplainable relief and that we suddenly feel enlightened that the remedy on our problems is right there in front of us.  God may not solve these problems directly, nonetheless, He can make us become hopeful for man is a drive towards the infinite.

"Ang pamama-alam"

Apat na buwan ko lang siyang nakasama.  Ganun na lang?

Agosto noong siya'y aking unang nakita at sa unang tingin ko pa lang, ako'y nabighani na sa kanya. Maliit at Pula, wala na bang mas gaganda pa? Sa unang hawak ko pa lang, inakala kong magkakasama kami habang buhay ngunit anong nangyari bakit biglang nawalang parang bola? Talagang kahit anong pilit mong hawak sa iisang bagay na mahalaga sa iyo, mawawala at mawawala din ito kahit hindi mo gusto. Miss na Miss ko na siya, naaalala ko pa noong kami ay magkasama pa, bitbit ko sia kahit san man ako magpunta. Dami na naming pinagsamahan kait apat lang na buwan, sa tuwing may gig kami, anjan siya at pilit na ginagawang makabulohan ang lahat ng ginagawa ko.

Ang alaalang hindi ko malimutan sa kanya ay noong kasama ko ang aking matalik na kaibigan na si ESTER YAJE... Grabeh, kumain kami sa Mandarin ng Halu-Halo, pumunta kami sa MTS at tangan tangan ko ang aking mahal na baby. Nakakamiss ang panahong iyon, at sana maulit muli. 

Ngunit ano pang magagawa ng aking nararamdamang lungkot? Siguro kailangan ng magpaalam sa kanya at sa mga alaala naming dalawa.  Maybe goodbye can be so sad but i know for sure that not all goodbyes are not bad.  Alam kong ma bagong darating sa aking buhay, siguro mas maganda pa kaysa sa kanya, mas maganda pa ang mga alaala na aming mapagsasamahan, at siguro sa panahong iyan magkakasama na kami ng panmatagalan.

Paalam na aking baby HEART(Samsung DigiCAM), kung hindi dahil sa problema ng aking ina ay hindi ka sana mawawalay sa aking piling. Lage mong pakakatandaang mahal na mahal kita at ikaw lang ang nag-iisang baby HEART sa buhay ko. Hindi man ako makakakita ng katulad mo, asahan mong hinding-hindi kita makakalimutan hanggang sa magkaroon ako ng BAGO. :)))

PAALAM BABY HEART. 

“Not even giants of faith get exactly what they want”

Sometimes life presents us with challenges so arresting, so shattering that they change everything.  Inevitably, we all experience the so called “sufferings”, we all feel the pain and we all must go through it.  Our lives are being disordered by it and wretchedly, we are broken into pieces and that the experiences we have made our lives changed not just for a while but it promised that things in us will never been the same, not ever.  The damage has been done and we’ve been tormented and been wrestled with tormenting thoughts: "I'm a good person; how could he do this to me? I keep your commandments, I don't have any other affairs, I help people all day long. I am fighting for what is just and right. How could God let this happen to me? How could God give me such suffering?

“When Bad Things Happen to Good People,” says that expecting the universe to make exceptions for you because you are a good person is like expecting a bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian. We are taught to think about God's power as intimidating, we suspect, because when we think about human strength and force, we think of forced power - warriors, despots, pharaohs, commissars, and terrorists. But it turns out throughout history that long-term power is not intimidating; the most transformative power is persuasive.  And at this moment, we think that during the time man starts to reckon about his life sufferings man began to develop a different relationship with God and a different understanding on God’s relationship to our world yet everything is in the process of becoming, and every process - you, me, the world, the cosmos, God - is not a substance, a thing, but rather a distinctive pattern of energy that retains some measure of constancy in the midst of change and growth.  This makes the chaos worth to be transformed into cosmos wherein everything is structured and structuring comes primarily with thinking of not only our present sufferings however, thinking about what will ensue despite of what happened.  It is a challenge and it is up to us how we use our freedom creatively without compromising everything we have at the very beginning.  Vague isn’t it, but if we try to deepen our understanding about how God wants us to be creative in dealing with our life, we may find ourselves defied to confront every suffering road we take and every anguish feeling we undergo because we know everything has its end, everything serves an inspiration for us to move beyond and everything that happened is an opportunity we must take for us to transcend limits.  God never plan to hurt or put His love to test. He never let His people suffer for He himself took the suffering for our sake. And In a way of accepting that every suffering has its own end makes it humanizing. Humanizing in a way that it makes man feel and reflect about his life.  As well as we’re being humanized, suffering force can lead man to look for the center by suffering man becomes weak emotionally and with this weakness man looks for someone to hold on. And he unconsciously or consciously finds strength in love and faith he has for God and the love he gets from the people around him. He looks for the center the foundation of his being for him to find strength.

In contrary, what makes us disturbed everytime we undergo such sufferings, we think about where is God amidst everything that is happening in our lives.  You’ve been faithful to Him, yet why is He silently walking with you, or is He really walking with you? Or leaving you alone?  This made the bell rang.  Apparently, this makes us feel tired of walking with Him faithfully and giving up is accessible.  Nevertheless, what we feel isn’t right and what makes it wrong is that we are too bombarded by the fact that what has been promised to us by God, didn’t work out.  Yes, it might be.  Frankly speaking I tell you, not even giants of faith get exactly what they want, this is found in the New Testament to be specific Hebrews 11:39.  Now you got the picture?  Let’s put it this way, the scripts of our lives are meant just for us and God did it.  As the script writer, God guaranteed us a perfect, a meaningful story and happy ending.  We think that’s it, all is well; everything is made available for us.  Yes, we follow the script, we do everything that is written on it but in the long run some things happen.  We weren’t happy anymore, and it feels like following the script is not the right thing to do and therefore we complain to God and ask so many questions that we failed to analyze the very important thing.  We fail to analyze that God is the perfect writer of our story.  At this instant, is life good with downfalls?  Will our story become a hit without a climax?  The most important questions we need to meditate not just a second but perhaps an hour to reflect on this.  Metaphorically, life is like the scripts of any theatre act or a movie.  Good start yet the story must not be plain because definitely, it would not sell, it would not be a box office hit. It needs to have a climax that will make the story more interesting and worth to watch.  Since in our life, God is the writer, He is not absent or silent but He’s just there, unnoticed and waiting for us to follow the story He had written and most likely He’s waiting for an acknowledgement.  God trusts us so much that He wants us to act innovatively.  It’s not like solving the problem right away in a creative manner yet it’s the act of enduring and feeling the ache happily, and strongly we’ll fight because there is a certain force that encourages us to move forward.  Sufferings are made by God for us to become more mature, spiritually to be specific and everyone who ignores this opportunity missed the most wonderful part of their life.  God trusts us, and so we must trust Him too as all the saints did. Like them, we too will have a happy ending that’s a package God guaranteed.  That’s how God loves us so much, even in the midst of evil and suffering still we are able to recognize His active love in us; the love that trusts, the love that never leaves, the love that never fails and the more that teaches.  It’s just that sometimes; we get too busy thinking about the climax, we’re stuck in our problems that we forget that everything must end.  We prolong our agony by simply staying too long in the area of our life that is not a perfect spot to stay in.  Sufferings are areas in our life that must not be prolonged and suffered like we feel like dying.  It must be the area of increasing our hope, patience, and moving forward to life that is made perfect for us thinking about God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
