Essence of Christmas...

The True Meaning of Christmas

        Lanterns, Christmas trees, lights, Santa Clause, garlands are everywhere when Christmas is fast approaching. We often use to see these things. Do you think these are the essence or the true meaning of Christmas?

        Well, we all know that December is the most awaited and happiest month of the year. When ber months come, we are already having the countdown for the Christmas day. And as what we see and feel the air breezes colder and that the sign that Christmas is coming on our way. Christmas, it’s the time when Christ was born. It is also the time to give love, share blessings and help one another as a gift to our savior Jesus Christ. Before Christmas comes, we have lots of traditions that we are doing. Like Christmas parties or programs where we got together as one group have our fun, games, eat many foods and of course the exchanging of gifts. But I think this is not the true meaning of Christmas. I’m not saying that it’s not good to have that kind of staffs but what’s better is why not give or share our gifts to the ones who really need, the unfortunate one. They are the one who need this. I know they cannot return what we gave to them but Christ will be the one to grant us for what we are doing well to our fellow men. Remember it’s better to give than to receive. So what’s now, try to give coins to the unfortunate people. At least we have shared our blessings and it also means that we gave love, right? Christmas is also the time when all family members have reunions, the misunderstandings are open up and finding solutions to have a happier relationship. It is also the time were we thanks our friends, classmates, relatives, family and Christ that they have been coming in our life. Loving one another, sharing our blessings, spreading the good news about God is the true meaning of Christmas.

        Christmas is our favorite holiday. We must not think our own self but our fellow people, so you will know the essence of Christmas. Learn to love everybody and never forget to thank Him.

Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities

Treat Fairly For Equal Rights and Equal Opportunities!

        “Life is so unfair!”—that is the words I often heard. Sometimes all I want to do is in just one click there will be no unfair things, it must all fair. But when will be the time when there will be no unfair things that will go to happen? The times when will be no discrimination, improper treatment to everyone especially to the unfortunate or uneducated ones, that there will be Equal Rights and Equal Opportunities.

 Every one of us wants a change especially for the betterment of our country. Living in this world is full of experiences, wishes, and hopes. We are wishing that someday, somehow that we will be treat fairly. We are here in a democratic country and it means that we must be equally treated and united. But life seems to be imperfect. People do change and we do different things, good and even bad. Discrimination and crab mentality are some of the reasons why were not agreeing equal rights and equal opportunities. When something or someone is not good in our eyes we tend to give bad compliments and tried to discriminate them. We do not treat them as what we do to our friends and fellowmen. Crab mental people are not also good in our community and even in our country. They tried to pull down the person who just got higher position than them; they didn’t want to be left. In this month, we are having the campaign “Equal Rights and Equal Opportunities.”We are born in this world to treat fairly as what our Almighty Father had made us. We must avoid doing bad things to all people. We must treat our fellowmen as how we treat ourselves. We have to love and unite as one family or one country. Treat fairly for us to have a happier relationship and be nearer to God. If we will accept Equal Rights, everybody will have equal opportunities. There must be no exception. And there will comes a time that fair thing do happen. Everybody will be given a chance.

And now, we must now treat fairly. Promote now the Equal Rights and Equal Opportunities, for a brighter future and better next generation. It’s time for a change!
