Was Quran written by God or by people that used their interpretation of what God is or did? -

One can't buy a ticket to heaven with words either. -

So what is your plan? You could make it your life purpose, someone has to do something, it all starts with us. I would but I already have a big project. -

Sorry, I’m not a philippino and I don’t follow every problem in this world, I’m this one human being that only can do so much in my limited time. It’s up to the philippino to decide what to do with it and it’s surely better than nothing. Or would you like to invent a time machine? -

YES! And it’s already happening and it has always been happening! A sick person gets more care than a healthy person, a poor person gets more help than a rich person, an oppressed person gets more attention than a happy person. Of course, it’s not perfect but it’s happening and it will still get better because it has always been getting better. It’s about progress not perfection. No need to take it to the extreme -

The world is constantly changing and cultures and views are mixing together especially now through the internet. As any change, it needs to get integrated and fined tuned for it to become a good change. Perfection doesn’t exist, everything has it faults. All it matters whether there’s more good than bad. That being said, I’ve lived through very diverse cultures and changes in my life. I grew up in communism, the wall came down when I was 14, I had successes, I had failures, I changed country, I left my community and became accepted in a different culture and community I wasn’t born in. I learnt new language, new customs but I’ve always stuck to my beliefs that I think are universal and all cultures have them with some variations. In regards to previous generations or current oppression, I recognize that people got hurt and it shouldn’t be ignored, it needs be acknowledged and we need to make sure that it doesn’t happen again. These people need to get compensated as it’s the only thing we can do at this moment, we can’t change the past. These are the important things, anything smaller than that is unimportant. So is it really a horrible thing that someone takes on other people’s culture/beliefs and adjusts it to fit their life? Of course, it’s not perfect but can we stop it? Do we have to stop it? What is the real damage? Is it horrible to see the whole elephant by using different cultures views? Personally, I’m excited to see how the internet and social media making all cultures to blend, understand each other and adapt the best of each culture. -

I see it this way. When you want to drive your car, you can’t just sit in the driver seat and command the car: “Drive!” You need to start the engine, release the hand brake etc. So you have a free will to drive the car while you don’t have a free will to do it in any way you wish, you have to follow certain “rules”. -
This journal is such a forest of smileys. haha That’s probably saying something about me

Peekaboo! Haha PS: Thank you for showing up in my reality! -
I’m little bit tired today, other things going on at this moment. Luckily, tomorrow’s another day and hopefully I’ll be feeling much better and more productive.

It’s because you’re observing it through your eyes connected to your brain and interpret it based on your life. My reality revolves around me because I observe it through my eyes connected to my brain and I interpret it based on my life stored in my brain. All this while we are both and everyone is a part of the same humankind, we are on the same planet and are part of the same infinite universe. -

The reality is our “imagination” because we interpret it through our senses. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the world around us doesn’t exist. We can sometimes rely on our senses too much and think that the reality is the exact way we “imagine” it or interpret it. Eagle, dog, bat or slug see the reality different way than we do because their senses work different way to us and that’s their “imagination”. I hope this helps. -
Be careful you might succeed Either way good luck!

Negativity is such a energy sucker. Need to either fix it or get over it. I’m not saying to ignore bad things, I’m just saying to be real about it! Not overly positive and surely not negative, just purely face the facts and fix it or let it be.

Sometimes I wonder whether it’s all worth it. I’ve spent decades on testing, analyzing, reading, experimenting and trying to help others for free, maybe once it’ll get appreciated, who knows. Somehow, I have a strong feeling that I have to share my understanding and conclusions as it can help millions of people. I don’t want to sit on something that could make other people’s lives so much easier. Of course, I could be completely wrong but what if I’m right?

Thank you for the heads up. I’ve been there, I’ve done that and it sucks. No, I’m not, that’s why I created a little Java software that makes the database creation, adjustments and data entry as easy as I can. So in case things change, it’s easy to redo the database. I’m just being realistic as it’s very likely that the first data structure might not work. There’s a lot of many-to-many relationships in the database so it might be very hard to do it right on the first try. PS: Enjoy your joker movie. Weekends are made to chill

This is just like a pregnancy! haha
-
I’ve finally finished the rough data structure. Now I just have to make it perfect or more accurately make it the best I can. Perfection doesn’t exist.

Yay, yay, yay, yay! Happy dance here I’ve progressed quite a bit today, it’s nicely moving along. Big chunk of work done, let’s enjoy this great feeling for a bit!

Focus, focus, focus, and more focus!
-
Today was supposed to be my fun day. Unfortunately, I’m too distracted to ride my motorbike, I really need to have my focus at the speed we’re doing. Oh well, hopefully I’ll be able to ride next week.

This could be a complete flop. Oh well, who cares! As long as I keep trying, I might make it happen, it won’t happen at all without me trying. A miracle can happen tomorrow, I just need to help it little bit.
