MERDEKA And Laughter

31 AUGUST. A significant day.

MERDEKA: Freedom

A fundamental belief that a human being has unique potentials for growth.
In goodness.
In grace.
In gifts.
In contribution to the community of other human beings
of diverse gifts, talents, beliefs, cultures and taste.

Freedom to nurture and promote and share this fundamental belief is the human birthright.

No DECENT HUMAN being will ever violate this birthright.

That decency, sadly, is at risk.

However there is still laughter.

There is this gift to see through the camouflages and deceits in laughter.

While waiting for self implosion of the actors that created the corruption of MERDEKA, let's look at the ridiculous that is done with a straight face.

The law of biometrics applies: corruption feeds on itself; its powers WILL destroy itself!

Lets celebrate that Life itself protects life.

Here is to laughter; to hope!

There Has To Be A Creator!

Mysteries surround us.

Thunder and lightning. Volcanoes and earthquakes. The sun's energy. The freezing cold. The births and deaths of millions of living species. The vastness of the galaxies and the micro-space of a single atom.

As the unknown becomes known, the unknown keeps expanding.

As mysteries unrevel, more mysteries reveal themselves.

Watch the thread that makes sense of many of these apparently unconnected mysteries and the deduction that there is a CREATOR at the center.

The CREATOR makes sense all these mysteries.

Understanding the mysteries come wonders!
