Have you ever heard of a saying that goes "M0NEY CAN'T BUY YOU Happiness!?"; I bet you have!

Well f0r me, whoever made this statement will surely eat up his w0rds if he had lived t0day!agree?!
I may be wrong but in reality (esp. in today's struggling times!)I doubt if anyone can say that they are happy when they are broke! when they have no money to buy some food, no money to pay hospital bills and buy some medicine...nothing to spend when you feel like going out on a boring day, no tuition to pay for your kids education or your own.... yes maybe MONEY CAN"T BUY YOU HAPPINESS but one thing is certain, MONEY CAN GIVE YOU HAPPINESS, ..though it is not purely happiness that MONEY can give (just worldly happiness) what the hell, we all have different views of what a true happiness is... just beat it!


What about the other saying that goes" MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL?!" can anyone please tell me what this means?! if they say that MONEY is the root of all EVIL things, then why aren't we doing anything to stop it?! Every nation is on the race in building up a strong economy whether in stock, business or investment. Even the church is into MONEY, in a mass, in a burial, weddings, baptismal and so forth... Even we are under the powerful influence of MONEY! we work our asses just to earn MONEY.


If MONEY is indeed the root of all Evil, does this means that we are tolerating evil or evil acts?! No wonder that everyday people get killed or even kill for MONEY. There is nothing unusual to this evil acts involving MONEY, we often hear it, see it or read it daily in the news!and I think we are all immune to this horrible and barbaric acts. sad to say...


I remember another saying that goes " MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND!" and personally I do believe in this statement and I'm convinced! Coz the truth is we are all under the powerful spell of MONEY, and there is nothing we can do! we are all hopeless and powerless...


MONEY is so powerful that it can change not only your life ...not only your family's life but everybody around us! you just have to be wise in spending your MONEY.... and remember when we die we can't bring along our MONEY, our wealth not even our ATM card or checkbook....and even though how powerful and influential MONEY is... there is certainly one thing MONEY can't buy, for me, it is not HAPPINESS that money can't buy, BUT LIFE!

To th0se who wants to be. . . S0on to be and already are PARENTS!

At present, I pers0nally kn0w n0thing ab0ut or when it c0mes to parenting. . . N0t even a single th0ught of it do I want to be 0ne! But as a child, I grew up and was raised well by my religi0us and G0D fearing parents. . . and I can say it's N0T an easy j0b based 0n what I've seen fr0m them! th0ugh I'm n0t the pers0n they wanted me to be. . . .( just like you and the rest of us!) Still I can say that fr0m what they've taught me m0rally and spiritually, in a way I've tried and lived acc0rding to what I believe and think is g0od. (n0t all the time! hehe. .) 

anyway, as I was reading a b0ok (that I've grabbed fr0m elsewhere) last night just to fall myself to sleep.... there's this poem that I want to share with you. . . . I was deeply m0ved (in a way) by the c0ntents, the w0rds and the meaning 0f the p0em. . . this p0em explains so poignantly the resp0nsibility of all parents. .as well as to th0se who are planning and s0on to be 0ne. . . this p0em explains the 0utc0me if G0D's principles are n0t taught and exemplified in or at h0me. . . th0ugh I'm n0t really that dev0ted and religi0us type of pers0n.. . . up0n reading this p0em I say this makes sense, I don't kn0w with you! the poem is entitled

 "CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE"

if a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy. . .
