America, the sleeping mammoth, is awakened and its glass cage is broken on September 11, 2001. That Day of Infamy, when four American commercial planes were hijacked and used by suicide bomber terrorists to destroy The Twin Towers of N.Y.

I’d like to reverse my search. I don’t want to search any longer. I have wasted years of my lifetime searching for the one. I searched deep and wide. I searched within and without. Yet there is none. In the end.

I’m sad when I meet people whom I respect but don’t respect themselves. I’m sad when they don’t understand the true values of being a humane individual. I’m sad when I see that those people have the potential to escalate their moral and spiritual level, but don’t know where to look for the pathways. I cry when there are so many beautiful beads in front of them, yet all they see are the tiny dirt holes in between the beads and thought that they have seen everything.

It is always hard to understand these three things: when is the time to let things go, which things to let go and how to let them go. Many times, we’re so deeply upset that our mind is set to that particular “thing” or “things.” We clench our minds and take them so seriously. Our minds, thus, as if don’t have any more capacity to move on.

It is important to keep a peaceful state of mind at all cost. But never try to keep the peace at all cost. The environment doesn’t have anything to do with an inner peaceful state of mind. Seek and you shall find. Try and you shall find it simple. Listen and you shall understand it effortlessly.

It took me a lot of courage to keep myself afloat and to be able to breathe freely. In pain, I sought inside. I sought for a tiny door in my heart that I could open to find the fragrant breeze and be thankful. It took me awhile, I must admit, to find it.

Nobody is perfect and nobody can be. The difference among all of us is that many don’t realize that we need our own personal love as well as the love from others. Also, many don’t realize that the love we give to ourselves is as of equal quality, if not greater than the love from others.

Today’s me is different from yesterday’s. I listen more, observe more, expect less. I play as hard as I work. I worry less, therefore I experience less pain.

The Internet has a very huge potential to change people’s life. How we play the Internet game is what matters. It is a window to the whole wide world, if we use it wisely. It can become a window to see what are hidden inside us, if we use it more wisely.

I don’t perceive love as soft-spoken, whispering and tender. I perceive love as open, dedicated, truthful and free. It gives us a clear window to see the world in a true and genuine way. It empowers us to dedicate our best efforts for the best interest of the world, our family and ourselves. It changes us to be truthful to any and all, including ourselves. Above all, love frees us from any attachment to worldly comfort and tenderness, often being mistaken as the true and genuine love.

When the world turns its back on me, I know that I need to keep moving. But it is not always that easy. It takes a lot of courage, a lot of understanding. Above all, it takes the courage to understand myself.

As a gamble, he acted, he didn’t think too much. He lived his days knowing that he had to work his best and didn’t bother to think about the result. Whatever the result was, he was prepared. There were only two, anyway. He won or he lose.
