The mixed law of the universe




Yin and Yang is an ancient Chinese Taoist symbol that symbolizes the inter-dynamic of the universe. This law has a tremendous power if we really and truly understand it.

The 2 half interweaving circles resemble the duality of all things. In simple fashion, all things have their opposites, Hot/Cold, Pain/Pleasure, Morning/Night, Dark/Light, Male/Female..ect
In fact, the object will fail to exist if it didn't have its duality created somewhere in the universe.

Now, if we take this a little further, and if all living objects have this duality into them, so does we the living beings. In terms of negativity and positivity, we are all a mixed of the two. We all have the positive side and the negative side. But we do have the choice to choose. So our decision to be more positive will make us more part of the positive half and vise versa. Having said that, even when we choose and strive to be all positive and good, there will always be this little negative dot there. It's the law.

It also means that when you meet someone who seems to have acquired all negative choices in life, he/she will still have the little good hearted dot. It maybe hidden but it will be there. Look for that dot and learn from it, it maybe all you need to learn for your next understanding. Same goes with all educations, jobs, relationships, always look for the positivity, it exists.

On the other hand when you do some stupid things :) remember that you will always have this bad dot, so don't beat yourself over it, it will get you no where. Instead appreciate it for the experience it has shown you and decide on another choice in the future.

Screw Technology



Man... 3 days completely dissolved in a computer monitor trying to run a Web Service created by a DLL with SOAP Tool Kit 3.0. I followed all the freaking directions, still wouldn't work. So on the third day last night, at 1 clock in the morning, found it. Solution put there by a geek, and what is it? the Microsoft IIS has a bug and you need to manually fix it. A bug in their flagship IIS from XP? It was more like a cockroach with stupid legs all over me!!! Man...I wish sometimes I was just a farmer!!
One thing made me just be patient enough not to throw the computer out of my window were few songs I was playing over and over and over again like a psycho.... like this song by George Wasouf..7lif el amar

If a Lion can show his love and appreciation like that...maybe we all can...

Check this out, a lion kissing his saviors.... As you probably have heard this story, The Lion "Jupiter" was saved from a long life of suffering in traveling circus.. Anna have saved him and nurtured him back to well being and good health... Jupiter as you can see is showing his appreciations...


Promise yourself...

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all our friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best to work, only for the best and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble."

What if everyone was as happy as this kid

True happiness doesn't really require much, not much at all, sometimes maybe some silliness will do.. (inspired by Dareen's post )

Do you want to know what love is?

One of my favourite songs

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when Im older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life theres been heartache and pain
I dont know if I can face it again
Cant stop now, Ive traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

Im gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
Ive got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life theres been heartache and pain
I dont know if I can face it again
I cant stop now, Ive traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Lets talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and Im feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah

I wanna know what love is, lets talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is..


Vow...at least for now :)

This just hit me last week while discussing a religious issue with a friend.
I was on the firm believe that all religious figures are nothing but normal human beings and that they sometimes make as stupid mistakes as anyone of us would, so I was trying to convey that message to my friend by unleashing an issue which he firmly believes in.

But it has been my lifestyle in general, I wanted to unleash and tell everyone what is wrong with their beliefs, as this was my mission :|, take for example; The high importance of Christ being crucified doesn't give you any added benefit and may not have happened all together, the wrong concept they have about Heaven and Hell, Mohammad marriage to 13 wives although in Koran the book he preaches the maximum was 4 under specific scenarios, the fact that their prayer should be done as meditation not as duty, Buddha's way of stressing that the only thing that matters is to be mindful which leaves little for imagination playfulness and the enjoyment of just sometimes be silly, the followers emphasis on "no God" and still they pray to Buddha's figure as he is a Super Duper Being..The Jews with them being the "Chosen ones" and much more about so many other beliefs that I looked at such as Osho, Sahaja Yoga, and other types of Yoga.

So my interest was to go to the Muslims and tell them they are wasting their times, go to the Buddhist and tell them they are living an artificial live style and so on...just take a look at my review of Life Of Buddha on my other blog and see what I mean http://maswad.blogspot.com/2007/02/life-of-buddha.html

Then I found that I am really not changing anyone's mind and people are not interested at all in listening to anything out of the box in terms of their beliefs.
I also realized that I am wasting so much energy on focusing on this exposing these wrong beliefs and the negative part associated with them...

This concept goes not only to religion studies but to everything in live.
I realized that we as society concentrate on negative things in life. Look at the news..Even for environmentalists and other groups, the concentration has been on fighting the negative side more than stressing on the positive side.

So my vow on this blog, on my other blog and perhaps in life in general is not to expose anyone anymore, but instead focus on the positive side of everything I study, read or participate in. I will make an attempt to see only the positive, the beauty, the humorous perhaps , joyful and ecstasy side of things. No more arguments, no more persuasions... This will perhaps will be a life time mission by itself :)
