On the evening of February 10th, 2008, disgruntled 69-year old landowner Chae Jong-gi, upset over having been underpaid for land sold to developers, sprayed paint thinner onto one of his nation’s greatest and most recognisable landmarks, and then set it alight, making his escape as the Namdaemun Gate was immersed in flame. Despite the efforts of around 360 fire fighters, the fire raged out of control, destroying the gate’s ancient wooden structure.

The Namdaemun, or Sungnyemun gate (literally ‘Gate of Exalted Ceremonies’), was first constructed in 1398, and served as the main southern entrance to the great walled city of Seoul for a period of 600 years, right from when Seoul first became the capital of South Korea. Its destruction sent shockwaves through the nation, with many Seoul citizens gathering to watch in horror and dismay as their country’s number one national treasure was reduced to ashes and soot.

Getting angry does not resolve problems.The more one gets angry,the more he seems addicted to being angry.Repeated behaviour actually rewires the
brain.Nerual networks get established with repeated behaviour patteren.This means,Anger breeds Anger.

The emotions not only rewire your brain,but they also rewire your body.Thus the cells loose the capacity to absorb nutrients.They grow less and they
rejuvenate less.These changes affect you and more importantly affect your progeny.

Every person has some feelings,you can’t find a person without feelings.Your emotions are very strong and powerful,that can change you & even influence other’s people behaviour towards you.Emotions are like rain,it floods you.

These emotions are generated in your brain as chemicals,neuropeptides,so,an emotion is nothing but a chemical ultimately.There are some perticular cells in our brain which catch those feelings.For example,if you think about laugh,there are perticular cells which catch that laughing emotions.not only catch and stay,they will start reproducing.This one cell will reproduce atleast four to five more cells that can receive the same emotions.Now each of this four to five cell reproduce more five to six cells.When next to laugh,all this cells will catch your same emotions.This process of reproduction of cells happens three times when you laugh.

All alive people must know the motive of life,but ever you thought on this before?when you are in joy,when you are living a satisfy life,you never thought about this main question of your life.When you are in sorrow,nothing happens good in your life,when you feel frustration,that time you ask a question to yourself,what is the motive of my life? If you get any suitable answer,you tried to achieve that,but unfortunately,if the answer is negative,you start run away from life or sometimes think to suicide,which is coward’s business.

Only aliveness is not sufficient for life,you have some reason to live,some purpose is required.Actualy this is the most precious thing that you are alive at moment but you never take it as positive or never think this way.You worry about the things which are beyond your control,you are taking breathe is the
most valuable for you,all other things are secondary.Most people don’t think about this and keep eye on the different matters which may not directly affect their life.

I listened to the song “Arise My Love” by NewSong on my way home today. It made me think about about the ridiculousness of Christ’s resurrection.Christ-followers can always fall back on the astounding awesomeness His victory over death. Everything else that could occur in this life is “no big deal” compared with the fact that Christ died and rose again to conquer all evil forever.

Some people have a liberated perspective on life because of extraordinary circumstances they overcame. Christ’s followers have a similarly liberated perspective.

God is in the business of reducing us to the bare-bone minimum so He can build us up again from scratch. He clears off all our beloved, self-serving construction and then builds us up again on a new Foundation: Christ.Getting to a spiritual ground zero is difficult. Unforeseen hardship is a dependable feature of God’s life-consuming mercy and grace. From the time we open ourselves up to Christ, He immediately goes to work, breaking down every thing we built apart from His approval. All of this is a painful process.

Though it doesn’t feel like anything good at the time, it is a divine mercy when God tears down any misconception that would lead us to assume too much about ourselves. His effective method for bringing us back to the page that He wants us on is spiritual devastation.

Different cultures around the world view dreaming in many diverse ways. Some cultures and religions attach great significance to dreams; others do not. The perspectives regarding dreaming have been shaped by both Eastern and Western ideology. Egyptians may have been the first to attempt interpreting their dreams. Even three thousand years ago, the Hindu scripture “The Upanishads,” describe dreaming as a higher state of consciousness than the waking state. What is interesting is how widely varied people’s interpretations of the same phenomena can be. Some regard it as divine, some regard dreaming as demonic, and some regard it as neither, or merely a curiosity.

The Native American approach to dreaming gives dreams credit for creative inspiration and spiritual guidance, and acknowledges that unconscious desires are expressed in dreams. Power dreams of shamans and warriors were considered vital for predicting future events. The Ojibwa, a group of North American and Canadian Indians, consider dreams to be actual experiences, not just fantasies created the mind, and they also link dreaming to specialized occupations such as healing.

A great way to raise money is with a Spring flower bulb fundraiser. This is usually done as an order-taker sale from a brochure showing colorful pictures and descriptions of available flowers and plants.

You collect payment in advance, place your order, and arrange for pickup or home delivery when your supplier ships your group order. You can do a flower bulb fundraiser at any time of the year, but they work best in late Winter when people start thinking about their gardens and landscaping.

The term “Blog” is quickly becoming a household term it seems. All over the globe there are normal, everyday people who regularly log onto their computers and enter their thoughts, doubts, and dreams onto their own personal webpage. The best part about this is that the writings are not censored, edited, or subjected to the scrutiny of others before they are placed on the World Wide Web. These shared insights are almost in their purest form, written directly from the mind to the screen.

The self-proclaimed “Blogosphere” is the collective community of Bloggers who freely share ideas to anyone who is willing to listen. This community has one rule and one rule alone it seems…everyone has the right to their opinion. This respect for others is wonderful and quite beneficial to all of us because it allows readers to view the perceptions of others with an open mind. Open-mindedness is the only requirement for true growth…so as a species, the blogosphere seems to be the ultimate answer to the stifling control and fear tactics of the outer world (society). If the “system” promotes servitude, the Blogosphere seems to promote personal freedom.
