To leave a legacy:
These are what I want to be remembered for—my legacy. These too will what describes my spirituality.
I want to see myself to become more spiritual and closer to God rather than religious.
I’ll strive to understand more about spirituality and be closer to God. The truth is I do no longer believe in religion. For me, religion is a group of people who thought they are doing things in Godly ways and make rules on the number of prayers that must be done in a day, on how people should behave according to God’s eye and so on and on.
Hey, there a lot of people who had unfortunate childhood which cause them to act and live the way they are now. And what religions do, they cast out or punish people who do not follow God’s rule according to what the holy scripture says. What’s worse, they make the person feel so bad and not loved by God because of the wrongdoings they consciously or unconsciously did.
I’ll site an example, the holy scripture says, a person must be loving, respecting and obedient to his/her parents or older people. How can a person be loving, respecting and obedient to his/her own parents or older people when these people sexually abused or the one neglected or emotionally tortured or physically beaten him/her? How can a person love and forgive his/her own father/mother or an older person when he/she is the one who sexually abused or the one neglected or emotionally tortured or physically beaten him/her? Loving and forgiving is tough for these people. And because, doing act of kindness is hard and tough for these people and can not follow God’s rules or church rules, the religion will cast out or punish them.
A person who is badly hurt especially during his/her childhood days can do horrendous crime. Anger and Toxic Shame grip these people and the goodness and kindness in them are sucked out and consumed by the inner toxins. What these people need are more loving, understanding and emotional-psychological healing. We forgive them no matter how hard and impossible it is.
It is said that our physical world is the actualization of our thoughts and the thoughts we think about another person, we bring to pass in our own experience. The people who did us wrong whether consciously or unconsciouly, if we always think of those wrongdoings, we will always experience them. So the best way is to forgive and release them. This way the person who did wrong-doings will be released from those thoughts and will be stopped from doing the same things over and over again. Hence, forgiveness is a gift to ourselves and for the person who committed the wrong acts. So, stop thinking the thoughts about the pains and hurts of the past, let’s release them including the people in these thoughts.
For me childhood is the most crucial stage of a person’s life. This is the part where a person is being formed, shaped up and conditioned. Whatever the person experiences in this stage will surely dictate what he will become and do in his adult life.
That’s whyI would like to do philanthropic activities for the children.
I would like to foster parentless children or send at least two homeless or parentless children to school for 2010 and more children beyond 2010. I would like to do and show kindness for the children. I would like to do other philanthropic tasks like give and distribute school supplies and foot-wears to less fortunate children.
I would like to contribute to the development of the children. I would like to contribute to the self-esteem of the children. I would like the children to see themselves that they are wonderful creatures and I would like them to believe themselves that they can become better and responsible adults in the future.
The list above is not yet complete…I’ll add more later…
