You think you're better than others?




Why do people always think that they are better than others?
January 2012

Honestly, I don’t know. (Sometimes I do it.) But maybe I can guess?
Maybe, because they are pessimists. Negative thinkers. They think of everything about everything negative (Not at least for themselves). It’s just that there are people who can’t see the beauty of life (or they don’t wanna see it), all they see are the faults of other people. Be careful to this people, one mistake and all the good in your life will be gone in an instant…. In their eyes. How sure I am? I’ve met some.

Or maybe… because they are sooooo in love!!!! With themselves. You know those kind of people who like it so much to sit in front of a mirror and admire themselves while looking on their reflection checking if there’s anything wrong about themselves but actually thinking that there’s nothing bad about them as if they are the only perfect person in the world (exaggerating, I am.) But yes there are. Whether you believe it or not, these terrible people exist (sad to say). So what do you do if fate decided to bring you face to face with these creatures? (curse fate) Avoid them. That’s it.

Or  maybe, insecurity. You know, trying to boost their confidence by thinking that they are better than others, because the truth is they don’t believe in themselves and deep inside them they know that someone is really better than them but they just don’t wanna admit it. If you are like this, then try to change. If you meet someone like this don’t try to change them, you can’t.

Or  maybe because they are richer. Yes money, the root of evil (or should I say the love of money is the root of evil.) Hay. Many people believe that having a lot more money can make you powerful. And power will make you better. It can make you feel that you can control, manipulate other people who have less of it. I can’t blame them, many times; you can really feel that money is something that controls your life. So what do you do? Get all your money out of your life? (I’m not a fool) Oh no, you need money but don’t just love it. Love people more than this.


I guess, my guesses are all set and I don’t really know if I got any answers. But here is one thing I think I’m quite certain: If you really think that you’re better than somebody and you don’t belong to any of the above, then maybe you are really better than them? Sometimes it happens… :P (of course I’m kidding)

So this is it, if you just can’t stop thinking about this, Just stop thinking that you’re better than someone because you’re not. Definitely not. So that may settle it.

Loving your Enemy

Matthew 5:43-44 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. The first step to love our enemies is to pray for them. Jesus said, ‘pray for those who persecute you.’ If we pray for our enemies, something mysterious happens inside us. It is like pouring icy cold water to your sizzling emotions. When we continue to pray goodness for our enemies everyday, one day you’ll realize that your anger has gone. And once we have removed our anger, we can start doing good things for them such as: Forgiving and forgetting about their sins against us. Forgiveness is an act of the will of the heart. And Christian forgiveness means that when we forgive, we also forget. Love keeps no record of wrongs. Reaching out to them. We do not just forgive our enemies, we also take steps to be closer to them. Real forgiveness demands restoration of relationship. Just like how Go...

Unworthy

We are worthless in God's holy presence. We are just worms in God's sight. We are nothing compared to Him. So in everything we say and do, we must always be reminded that God whom we are serving is a perfect God and the greatest of all. We must be careful not to boast of our goodness to Him because nobody is good enough for God. But then, the Lord does not look on our imperfections. He sees what's in our hearts and if we are willing to be His children, He will certainly accept and change us to be a better person. God sees our worth as His creation and His love for us makes us worthy to come to Him even though we're actually not.

PNOY's Speech Reaction (TV Patrol 25th Anniversary)

Like President Noynoy Aquino, I want to congratulate TV Patrol for their 25 years of serving the people of the Philippines. PNOY’s speech was very honest yet he never forgot being polite. I believe that the message he wanted to tell especially the news commentators was clearly delivered although people may have different feedback about it. Although, some may think that the President ruined the celebration by pointing out the news anchor of TV Patrol who gave his comment/opinion that made a bad image for the government about news they were reporting. According to the president’s speech, the comment of the news anchor makes the good news appear to be a not-so-good one and is obviously against the government. Because of this, the people who hear may also be influenced about his opinion and eventually believe that the government is really doing nothing good and the country has no progress at all. The comment of the president sounds right to me but it may also change if I ...
