Love and Giving

     ‘ Tis the season to be jolly fa la la la la la la la la!

     As we exit the 11th month of the year, we enter a month of caroling, gifts, and smiles. This is definitely the season to be jolly- with the tress decorated with starts and ornaments, to the joyful music in the background and stockings filled with fun. Every street is surrounded with kids caroling. The houses are lit with colorful and glowing lights. People of different ages give gifts to others, and families come together. And as one receives a present, a smile extends from ear to ear. But Christmas is not only about the Christmas Lights, or the gifts you receive, or the songs you sing. There’s so much more.

     Every 25th of December is celebrated as Christmas Day. The cold breeze hits our skin and we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. He shows His love for us in so many ways and this time, it is our turn. This is the time to spread love and the season of giving. It’s the moment when we express our love in various forms. As the old quotation goes, “It’s better to give than to receive.” Let us extend our love to the homeless, the poor, the jobless, the patients, the parents, the doctors, the teachers, lawyers, students, and EVERYONE.

     Let us celebrate Christmas not only this December, but let it be celebrated every single day. Let’s spread and share our blessings. Let us spread the love and positivity.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

1=1

     Two number 1’s are compared. One is typed in Arial font, size 30, and colored red. One is written with pencil on a sheet of paper. The 2 are put side by side. One looks more put together compared to the other one. But when we think of it, they are still of the same value. 1 is still equal to 1 even though they look different. The appearance of the number 1 will not make its value go higher or lower. No matter what you do, 1 will always be 1.

     This goes to show that everyone should be given equal rights. Whether rich or poor, tall or short, thin or fat, workers or unemployed, man or woman, child or adult, criminal or not, their rights should be recognized. They should be given equal opportunities. The women are no less than the men. The children are no less than adults. The disabled are no less than everyone else. So why will we deny their rights? Why not give them the opportunity? Every person should be treated the same way and given the same opportunities. We are all created beautifully by the Almighty God, and our personal differences should not serve as a hindrance in showing respect to other people. The state or standard of living of a person should not tell how one should be treated. 

     Let us respect each and every one, not only in the Philippines but the whole world. Let us spread love and joy. Let us treat every one equally. 

Remember: 1=1.
