The following is a compilation of these "bits of life", which I have come up with so far:
To love...
To love is to grow spiritually. Love can start small, and if you nurture it, it grows to mature gradually. As it grows, it asks you to surrender a part of you. Gradually you find yourself selfless already. When you have given up everything already, it is your life that you will return with so much gratitude for God, the giver of life.
The Triumph of Easter
Easter is mankind's most glorious triumph. We have been saved unconditionally. The passion of Christ was like no other love story. The price of His love was no less than that. He sacrificed so much in exchange for every sin that we have committed, giving dignity to each human being from the richest to the poorest. Let us respect every human life Jesus died for.
On Our Stewardship of Mother Nature
We only get to enjoy full freedom if we respect everything that Mother Nature expects us to respect. Freedom is curtailed when we curtail the freedom of others. If we do not respect the environment around us, we would naturally have to deal with the law of nature.
When humans started existing, this world was already a paradise, with a diversity of living things. It's just but a must that we use our resources cautiously so that nothing gets extinct.
Christ's Passion and Our Challenge
Passion is the essence of life. Even if it leads to death, it is worth following. The passion of Christ was not only suffering. He took it wholeheartedly to fulfill His life's mission. This is the challenge for each one of us. Will we wake up one day very determined to make our presence felt? Or, are we going to continue in our slumber and passivity?
On Daredevils and their Pursuit of Passion
This is my tribute to a friend of mine, a daredevil who died pursuing his passion:
Death is an eye opener of the summation of life lived and lessons learned. It is the completion of life. There is no life if there is no death. Without death, there is no thrill in life- just pure boredom. Some people try to defy death by being more daring in their pursuit for perfection. You cannot blame them. They are just happy doing it. Not all have ideal lives. We just don't understand their ideal lives. We all have our passions to live. Some are just too costly compared to others'.
The Route to Profession
Hard work developed becomes passion. Passion developed becomes obsession. Obsession developed becomes profession. This should be the only route to profession, nothing less. It is the route to excellence.
Life is a Gamble
Life is a gamble. If you bet too much on love, it might cost your life. But on the other hand, if you don't love with passion, time could be running out on you. And you plead God for an extension, just to see a glimpse of life.
