Lost Values and Virtues

*The Lost Values and Virtues*

And so is our world these days,  that most people have deep respect for people who are witty and smart but not matured and sensitive to others and things around them.

Rich crooks are hailed and cheered all over as saviors,  giving the best and finest of seats in our churches, in our homes etc. But  what we fail to realise each time mostly is that their vast wealth came at the expense of the hard labor, sweat and hardwork of the weak and the helpless in our society.
By extorting the poor and vulnerable in our society, majority of them became rich and many more are on their way to becoming one taking the same crooked route.
This what I say to you this day, build for yourself integrity,  where doing the right thing and standing for the truth will always be an ever pursued virtue.

The desire to show maturity, and being sensitive to the emotions and feelings of others will be something of a regular practice.

Staying Resolute in the midst of difficulties and challenges in life builds up human faith and strength.  That should be a priority to all.

Perhaps these virtues and values  might not build you castles or buy you the best things in life to be seen by the world as successful,  but they are sure to build your wealth of great wisdom.

Think on these things.

Everything Is Temporary

Corona Virus has proved that everything around us is so temporary. Things that our lives revolved around...work, gym, malls, movies and other social activities have all gone for a toss. These were things which used to occupy our time and attention virtually everyday, so much that we neglected what was most important to us in the first place. We are learning to live without them now, as our only option these days, is to stay indoors to keep ourselves safe. It is teaching us all  one thing,  that in the end, our home and families really matter. They are our point of safety in difficult times like these. So should this crisis come to an end, which will be very soon,   do know where your priorities lie henceforth. It is not in your work, or your insatiable ambitions. It is with your family.

Looking for Mr. Right And Mrs. Right

Any man who  tolerates all your nonsense as a woman and still finds you  perfect in his own eyes is your Mr. Right Likewise, any woman who tolerates all your stupidity as a man, and yet is able to submit under your authority as a man and love you is the Mrs. Right. No man or woman will check out all your boxes of being perfect or not a perfect match. Understand this one truth!!!! Here's a little revelation for us all to understand; there can be no decent woman or man just for only you. There are millions of decent people out there, just that they may not be that stunning model of a woman you're looking for or the man with six packs with a full beard. The moment you think of yourself too important to be in a different league than any other person just because you are wearing some designer dresses and suits and so you start rejecting suitors who you think are beneath your overrated standards, remember quickly that we all have our flaws. To help you reflect on this better, ...

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...
