To the saints Bertrand Russell was such a liar and so hard to read or to admire. He wrote: “The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. What the world needs now is not only love but also greater knowledge about the nature of love, in all its complexity.”
To the sinners, however, Jesus Christ was much more truthful and so easy to obey. Jesus said: “If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, yea, ad his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26
Take a good look at our sick society. Look how as saints or as sinners we all love Jesus up there while we hate one another down here. And to think that Jesus never went to college. He never attended high school. Golly, Jesus never even attended grade school. Yet, we love, worship, and adore Jesus who was not even a Filipino. He was a Jew born in a foreign land that never even got to be converted into embracing with deep faith Christian values and beliefs. Poch Suzara

I am beginning to understand now why you have such views about life as I read your blogs. Well, I guess, we were born with the power to choose the life we wish to have. Just as the power to choose to be angry or not, to be miserable or happy, to be regretful or appreciative, to be pessimistic or optimistic. Whatever it is that you choose should be the one that would satisfy your hunger for your desire. At least, that's what I think of life. I hope I did not offend any of yours.
No, you have not offended me. Not at all. In fact, I much appreciate your comment. What I can say, however, is that the truth hurts but it does not hurt me because I always try to be truthful.
In the meantime, there is no such thing as the power to choose as we hardly have real free will. We think ourselves free because we are conscious of our desires and wishes, but we are totally ignorant of the causes by which we are led to wish or to desire. Poch Suzara
