Why is family important?

Through family we find ourselves as we give and receive support.

Family brings out the best and worst in each of us. As we yield to and serve others we learn to love them and ourselves in the process. Many of us could never approach this form of selflessness in any other way. There is something about a mother or a father, a son or a daughter. There is a connection there that binds us and asks more of us then we are normally willing to give.

When we are true to ourselves and follow our feelings and share openly and honestly with our loved ones we remember why family is important. And we are well rewarded for our sacrifice as it enables us to better appreciate who we are. On the other hand, when we yield to our selfishness and take our family members for granted or treat them poorly we lose our sense of self-worth and begin to despise those whom we once loved.

In our day-to-day interactions with our family we find out by our words and actions what kind of a person we are and what's most important to us. I put my family first and found myself through faith in God focused by his suffering. My life now my whole life is independent of anything that can happen to me ... every minute of it is no longer meaningless as it was before but has a positive meaning of goodness with which I have the power to invest it.

Our families hold the keys to understanding and appreciating ourselves. Who can relate better to us then our own brother or sister that shared so many experiences with us? Who can love us more selflessly then our own mother or father who sacrificed daily for so many years to raise us? The better we understand our parents and siblings the better we understand ourselves. This understanding is most completely achieved as we look to our family's heritage with the help of our oldest living relatives. By discovering the customs, practices and traditions of our ancestors we uncover truths about our parents and ourselves. We find out how our grandparents treated our parents and so on from generation to generation. We discover the ambitions and fears of our forefathers along with their failures and triumphs. In the process of learning our family history we uncover our past, understand our present and shape our future.

Family is important because we are important and we need a group of loyal supporters. It matters what we think and feel and nobody cares more about us than the members of our families - at least, that's how it should be and it starts with us. The better we are to our spouses, children, parents or siblings etc. the more they will want to be better to us. When we can count on each other and lean on each other then family works.

If we waltz in on family when it's good for us and run out when it's bad for us then we're not doing our part and will not find fulfillment there or elsewhere. Family is not only for our pleasure or entertainment but for all facets of life: for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do we part - we need a family and that family needs us. When we support our families we find ourselves supported.

The sound of one hand clapping.

It is when you clap together both hands a sharp sound is heard; when you rise   the one hand there is neither sound or someone makes noise.  The concept of clapping implies that a sound is being produced by two surfaces coming into contact, even if only one of them is actually moving.

 No sound, no clapping; no second surface, no sound. Yet, the riddle definitely states that there is a sound and that there are clapping. Therefore, my answer follows logically when the sound of the one hand is clamping it means that there is someone who is using his or her both hands to create sound for him or a group of people.

When someone claps together his hand a sharp sound is heard, to create sound maybe for music band or to follow the song in the church. People clap their hands to create a sound for many different things. For example some people they clap their hands when they want to call a person that is far from them than they clap their hand if they don’t want to shout at the person. So to my on understanding there is no sound of the one hand, sound comes out when you use both hands.

Why Women like Flowers

The best and easiest ways to bring a smile to a woman's face is to give her flowers and it doesn’t matter if it is you wife or your girlfriend. But to a lot of guys that may be a useless thing to do. I just don’t get it, what kind of men is that? Well guys here to help you to understand why do Women like Flowers.

To go straight to the point, in fact when a man in this time wanted to start officially courting a woman, he would present her with a bouquet of flowers to begin the ritual. Flowers are a timeless symbol of love and affection, and every woman loves to be adored.

Flowers provide stimulation for the senses, and give a woman a moment to stop her busy day to immerse herself in the smell, sight, and feeling of her precious bouquet. I know from me for men buying flowers is not a natural instinct but when a man buys flowers for a woman he is often venturing out of his comfort zone.

While on the other hand a man may not know much about flowers, a man who buys his woman a bouquet feels deeply enough for her to endure some discomfort in order to make her happy.

Not all who wander are lost.

All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost.

 

Courage is found in unlikely places.

 

Faithless is he/she that says farewell when the road darkens.

 

The wise speak only of what they know.

 

Deep roots are not reached by frost.

 

The Road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can, pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.

 

There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.

 

Not all who wander are lost.

 

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be the blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.

 

Life is a Journey

Life is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations and special moments that will ultimately lead us to our destination, our purpose in life. The road will not always be smooth; in fact, throughout our travels, we will encounter many challenges.

Some of these challenges will test our courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith. Along the way, we may stumble upon obstacles that will come between the paths that we are destined to take. In order to follow the right path, we must overcome these obstacles. Sometimes these obstacles are really blessings in disguise, only we don't realize that at the time.

Along our journey we will be confronted with many situations, some will be filled with joy, and some will be filled with heartache. How we react to what we are faced with determines what kind of outcome the rest of our journey through life will be like.

When things don't always go our way, we have two choices in dealing with the situations. We can focus on the fact that things didn't go how we had hoped they would and let life pass us by, or two, we can make the best out of the situation and know that these are only temporary setbacks and find the lessons that are to be learned.

How do you step from the top of a 100-foot pole?

For me stepping off a 100-feet pole means to take a risk. This is when you have been pondering about doing something, procrastinating, thinking and deciding and rethinking your options. Stepping off the 100-feet pole means that you finally say to yourself go to yourself. You do not know the outcome and you might fail and hit the ground hard, but you take that step with courage in your heart.

It also means starting over – you have reached that top position in your company and then you get retrenched or you make a drastic career change. Or you finished your BTech degree and then you start studying in another industry all over again. You literally need to start climbing from the pavement again, step by step.

But at this moment in time, it has a specific meaning to my life. Climbing up the pole means counting down the days and waiting in anticipation until someone returns to you. When they return, you have reached the top of the pole and you stay there for as long as you can – viewing the world like never seen before, holding on to each moment of togetherness. Stepping off that 100-feet pole (for me) was to say goodbye and hitting the bottom ground along with the departure.

How do you step off that 100-feet pole and survive the fall? You get right up and start climbing all over again.

Killing is a sin

Killing is a sin its god who gives us this life and to take it away is a sin. But inspite of that we find some killings justified or better said, not that sinful, as they had a reason.

It doesn’t matter what ever killing reason you have, maybe a wife has killed her husband after having suffering years of torture and abuse by the husband. Other people are killing to take revenge of the death of their friends and claim his honor, whether is killing to get a revenge of his daughter rape. To kill yourself when you see that you want to terminate your illness and want to die.

None of the reasons that I have mentioned above is right or is not a sin. God created the life that we have so that we can leave in this earth and wait for our days of death when they come. God didn’t mention in the bible that a person is allowed to kill other person or to kill himself. So if you think killing is not a sin then you are making a big mistake in your life.      

Sinethemba Arnold Qam (about myself)

I like reading and writing assignments. I value honesty, commitment, scholarship and kindness, I am shy, someone who like to be with people who value life positively, I like to have fun just to stay at home watch movies or go out with my family. These are hard and true facts

My name is Sinethemba Arnold Qam originally from Eastern Cape at BUTTERWORTH. That’s where I was born and raised by my parents, I am the first born with three sisters and one brother. Since I am 26 years old now, life has a lot of unfolding to do. I have a two years old daughter who is my responsibility and someone who makes me happy the most and someone that I live for.

 Reality is both objective and subjective. I don’t see the world as either purely objective or purely subjective.  Rather I see the world as a constantly evolving flow of thought (subjective) and its physical manifestation (objective).  The ongoing interplay between the physical world and the non-physical world is the intersection of multiple dimensions, like water and salt mixing to create saltwater.  Sometimes you find mostly water, other times mostly salt.  But most of the time, the two are blending together to create something that is simultaneously both water and salt.

How I would like to be seen in future, I like to be seen I future as a top employee in a well establish organization with my own businesses.
