Something about Love and Our Soul

I learnt something from the movie Wall-E this evening.
Well actually, the movie shed some truths about man-kind for me. But before I get into the abstracts of the different things that was brought up, I just want to share something closer to home.

Lesson 01: Our Soul is what gives us hope, faith and ability to Love

I realized that no amount of system, no amount of programming, no amount of procedures can replace human beings capability to feel. Our minds and strengths are inter-twined with our capability to hope, have faith and extend it to love, which allows us to be far more superior than machines.

we may live a life of routine, but in every single chore we carry out, there is an element of hope (if it turns out bad, it can be better), faith (i know i don't see it now, but i know i will see it later), and love (what definition does this characteristics need?)

I liked the part in Wall-E where robots are just robots with a set of instructions to follow. However, even when everything is 'fried' (just like human, when we're really-really sick), our ability to feel, to have hope and faith, is simply beyond any medical marvel (organ transplant, tissues regeneration, cure for cancer)...

Bottom-line, we may feel useless sometimes, in-competent, non-beneficial to the society, useless, of no benefit to people around, or burden... Put these negative characteristics aside, simply being human, is able to inspire, persevere, love, hope, believe.... Isn't it wonderful to be a human!


Lesson 02: Love is so strong, that even when Robots sees us, they get impacted!

One thing I realized from the show is that we as humans may invent things, give instructions, create machines, computers, robots as tools to help us do the chores that we've set them to do. But, we never program, tried programming, or make them to inspire, persevere, hope, have faith, love!

And the most amazing thing is, even while we did not configure them to do these or inhibit these qualities in them, by simply watching and observing, even a 'machine' understood and was able to identify, pick up, learn and apply into its artificial intelligence.

The best part, it comes without teaching nor instructing. One has to simply watch, and learn!

Bottom-line, if machines are able to watch and learn to love (or the lack of it), then what more our kids, our children, the little ones around us... They are watching your (my) every move in the way I exhibit these wonderful qualities...

Hope these 2 lessons I learnt today can be a blessing to you!

Things I learnt when I was seventeen...Part 2

The difference in the way things are put:
"Do you believe VS Will you give yourself a chance to believe"

"Working towards an impossible dream VS Not Achieving an Impossible Dream"

-------------------------------------

The Art of Giving!

God has given, and only God has the power to both give and take the blessings in our lives. In my opinion, I doubt he'll take it. Simply put, He has no need for it. Thing is, he can allow certain things to happen that can make me lose the blessings He'd given me. Idea is, how long am I holding on to God's blessings in my life.

The truth that we only will receive His fullness is only when we're self giving. Will His gifts destroy the very nature of our love for Him? Will the gifts makes us insecure? What does our gifts do to benefit others?

- I realized right now that when God bless, don't question. Take it, make full use of it, and when we get to heaven one day, we can have all the time to ask.

Being Perfect!

No one is perfect... and as humans, when we try to be perfect in anything in our lives, the outcome is we forsake others thus creating a flaw in perfection. Therefore, it's not beneficial to be 'perfect' for it brings selfishness into the picture.

Instead, use every opportunity to help others! Not for them to be perfect either, but to help them in their drive to attain perfection. In love, where its unconditional, we sought to help one another without expectations, and such is the perfection which we as human can work on.

- In short, our understanding and priority in achieving perfection is flawed. That is why I feel that sometimes, in our desire for perfection, we created other 'imperfect' qualities/bi-product that we are blinded from. However, if we put perfection in the way we love others... That will be beyond limit, beyond expectations and un-likely any imperfect-ness will come out from it.
