Marvin's Ideas

We all know who Thomas Jefferson is. The third president of the United States who was claimed to be one of the world’s more influential leader of all time. As a great man of democracy, leadership, and liberty Thomas Jefferson also was an author of famous quotes. Thomas Jefferson quotes and sayings have been relayed from generations to generations and indeed as of now it is still living not only in books but also in our minds and hearts. He’s a great fellowmen, leader, and as well as an inspiration for everyone’s strides for a better self and community as well.

Sometimes talking with people who has a great knowledge in some particular things is worthwhile. We can’t even feel hunger even if a couple of hours lapsed. It’s a kind of feeding ourselves with meaningful thoughts which enriches us more and by that it is like inducing food for our stomach. Just like the experience that I have encountered today. I was having a very nice chat together with two of my friend. I consider both of them a wise guy with in terms of the religious aspects of humanity. Well you might be thinking that it was a debate but no……it was actually a sharing of both minds and I felt like being enriched by the facts that they have said. We haven’t taken lunch due to that very long talk but I felt so full of the learning that I haven’t encountered before. It was really fine and very acknowledging and I wasn’t felt bored at all. It was so much interesting.

It is very hard to convince people who don’t want to listen. These past few days I’ve been spending few moments arguing with several people around me. Well it about the very few matters towards religious facts that I believe. The issue was triggered because they found out that I visited a place wherein there is a group of people who are into religious things such as preaching the good news, and reading, sharing and interpreting the Holy Scriptures. I found it very nice to spend some times with them because I just want to be knowledgeable in dealing with my religion. But my family means it as a cult and is dangerous for me but I know more of it because I was the one who saw and witness the place. I appreciate their ways because not like others who are into the same things, I notice that there is peace of mind in there. Not like the other catholic groups around the city, they don’t mind if there are only a few of people in their circle. My friend told me that there are only less than 20 people in the group which proves that they are not working for the good of their group but for the people. I’ve been longing to see a group like this because somehow, in the past, I’ve attended several religious activities but it found it very different. I didn’t get what I am seeking for because usually people shares their richness and success which is in reality is not a good example for what I call sacrifice. I am seeking for those ones who don’t care about success, money, and improvements in life when talking about serving God. Well I don’t want to hit somebody’s pride because it is only what I want and what I believe.

As I travel along the city I noticed a lot of motorcycle driver who doesn’t wear their protection gears. It is a must that every motorcycle driver must secure a helmet to be safe during their rides. In the past few months many vehicular accidents has been reported and several cases includes the motorcycles. And sad to say that in most cases the rider died due to lack of safety gears particularly the helmet. Well, the authority isn’t blamable for these matters because they do a lot of ways to convince these riders to be safe with their motorcycle usage. In fact checkpoints and traffic personnel are being deployed in different parts of the city to implement the traffic rules and safety regulations. So, everything just boils down to the rider itself if ever he/she is caught in a very bad plight due to the accident.

How I wish this I can grouch whenever this foolish people gets in my house every day. A got this two persons from the neighborhood who are very noisy in a sense that they used to be gossipers ever since I met them. I was still a very small guy that time when these people occupied our neighbors flat. That is where it started that our day haven’t been so peaceful because they used to be our nearest “friends” and that’s why they got to visit us daily for a bit of storytelling which will to a very dirty gossips. Anyways, in our culture we are supposed to be hospitable even-though there are times that we met this kind of people. But I am hoping to not rebuke this people soon because right now I am full with them and I just trying to control myself to the last drop of my patience.

How can you help someone who doesn’t want your help? Offering a helping hand is a very good virtue that I have. There are many people who have benefited my help. I do this just because it is a passion of my heart. I just couldn’t afford to see helpless people especially those who seems to be aged ones, our grandparents. Until then I was able to meet this young lady who seemed to be in great need of help. I was just thinking that she wants my help because she was physically impaired. This girl was in seating on a wheelchair. Her right leg was missing and it seems that she was recently being hospitalized. She was trying to steer his wheels to navigate through a seemingly step way. I felt pity on her and I know she’s tired and was about to lose his grip. I run for a help and took a hand at the wheelchair and guide her to the place she wanted to be. But as we reached the place, she was getting angry of me because why did I help her. I explained everything to her and she was really angry because as she says “I don’t want your help. Don’t you see that I can do it? Now go and leave me”. I was sad upon hearing those things from her and I was so downed that it was all about helping someone. I was kind of traumatized of what I experienced and I don’t think I’d be more generous in the future.

“Be prepared”, this is what my mother always tells me every time I leave the house. I always answer her “yes” because I don’t really understand why she always wanted me to be prepared. Recently, we had very good conversation and with that I was able to ask her about my concern on why she always tells me to be prepared. So I asked her with a very interested looks on my face. I told her, “Ma, I every time I leave the house you always says to me that to be prepared. Why is it so that you keep on repeating it for so many times? ”. I know that she was surprised and at the same time she tends to show me that she cares. Mother said “Hmmm, Well! You need to be prepared so that you won’t be surprised of the things that might happen to you. I tell you, everything is not a surprise. It’s just a matter of expecting the worst and prepare for it”. I was confused on what she wants to say but she told me that when I’m on the actual scenario of a real-life event, I will be able to realize that things are worth preparing for.

The most difficult thing that will probably test my stability and perseverance would surely be challenges. I tried to endure a lot of challenges way back in the past but I just saw myself stumbling upon failures and disappointments. Well, it isn’t really nice to think that way but I can’t help it. I’m trying to fix it up because I’m looking forward for greater changes that hopefully will come my way soon.

As per expected, comments blasted into my inbox about the post yesterday but as you know I don’t really post it in the main page and sometimes I just choose from the best ones. Anyway, someone asked me “How do I treat my toothache?’’. I suppose that the question would go like this, what do I do to alleviate pain or precisely, cure toothache? I guess if you want to get out of that hell of pain then you have to have that defective tooth taken away from it place by consulting with a dentist. Well, if the pain is going on and there’s a bit swelling part right at the location of that tooth then the dentist will not do the prescribed operation. Instead, you’ll be given a couple of pain relievers and the dentist will advise you to come back after the swelling and pain is gone. Then that’s the time that the dentist will do the medical procedures.

I have a few friends who are apparently building their own computer rig. Well, they’re set of, some kind of techie guys. But then, due to my stupid mind, I asked them “Why are you building such kind of computers when indeed you’re just going to use it for gaming, surfing, and other stuffs which a normal PC user does?” Well, they’re kind of embarrassed of what I’ve said and told me “who cares after?” Well, exactly no one cares about that. But it is really a thing of stupidity when you’re going to build a system with a top of the line parts and you’re going to use it just for gaming. I would say that, please open your eyes to the reality that you just fooling yourself out. Well, after all, it’s not a big deal for me because if given a chance to build a pretty nice rig soon then I would give it a big shot.
