It is Time to Appreciate Water

I want to make sure today that I write about the beauty of water. A chemical so simple (2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen) yet holds the key to the very existence of every living creatures on this planet.Our physical shell comprise about 90% of water or liquid, and this mother Earth is covered with 2/3 of water. It is said that a person cannot live if he/she does not drink water for 7 consecutive days.

Need more? I think the above is quite sufficient for all of us to have an idea the very significant nature of water in our lives.Yet, what do we do with this precious? What else, we pollute it of course, put heavy metals into it, color it with industrial wastes and make it stink with our garbage! Just like everything else that we do, we have once again violated the right of this created being.

Has it ever occurred to us that water might have "feeling" and actually respond to what we have done to them? Sounds quite far fetched does it not? Well, we might just be more appreciative of water once we see this next time we take that cool, clean and refreshing glass of water, make sure to say your greeting to it and say thank you!

Let Women Rule the World

Most civilizations in this world is preferring patriarchal lineage, than matriarchal one. From prophets, leaders, kings, presidents, men have been preferred more and rule over women(and men) for eons ago. True, major contributions have been done by men, but along with it, destructions, plunder and pillage also follow closely behind......and it has not gotten any better until this dawn of the new millenium.

Sometimes, I wonder if we have to give up on men and our instinct to self destruct. It would appear that the pattern of self destruction is ever so repeated constantly throughout our known history! I know I might sound heretic saying this, but maybe it is time for men to lay down their proclaimed leadership baton and pass it to women :) Who knows, this world may just become a gentler, kindler and more civilized with women in power.

If my observation is correct about women, then their instinct will be more toward self preservation than destruction. After all, how could they be destructive if they are the one who holds the key to life? Men will never knows the pain of birth that needs to be endured, so life can continue. I think it makes women more appreciate of life and living then men, since they know how precious life is....

Things Worth Checking Out (Well..Sort Of)

Pheww, been a long while since I post, has it not? I have found quite interesting tidbits that you might be interested in, There is the Divine Proportion in the Greek alphabet "PHI". This alphabet is a representation of the number 1.618 in geometry. You would be amazed that this is actually one of the most common proportion that you can find in nature, human body, celestial bodies and more....You can check it out yourself at Golden Number or here are a few of them:

- an ideal proportion of human body is to follow the composition of phi. if you measure your height and divide it with the distance between your toes to navel, then it should be close or equal to phi. The same goes to various features in our body and face. You will see that many famous painters (including Da Vinci) use this composition in all their paintings.

- Phi is also used to predict the direction of stock market price.
Just to name a few. You can look on the website to search it exhaustively, I found this to be the most intriguing facts. It's as if God uses math to make sure that everything is in balance and proportional.

Fascinating, is it not? Just more proof to see that what happens here is designed by a Powerful being.Note:Reminder to self. These so called "proof" is not the only way of looking at His creations. This is just one of many. Other miracles? How about the fact that we are alive and able to breathe the oxygen :)

Observation from reading "The Da Vinci Code" and "Emotional Spiritual Quotient"
