Minute Change Brings Colossal Aftermath

One thing is constant on the face of the earth, it is change. Change is sometimes unexpected, enormous, and frightening. On the other hand, it occurs little by little, and not worth paying attention for. These type of changes are usually unnoticeable in the instant snap of our mysterious eyesight. Although they are supposed to be ignored, at the end they play a crucial role we do not expect. The more these changes spark a little, the more they become significant.

For example, a fraction rise of the temperature of the sea for several consecutive years contributes great effect in the emanated weather systems. Many argue about this factor and said that this is actually what contributed Super Typhoon Yolanda (Int. Name Haiyan) the devastating power which consequently took a lot of lives, ruined properties ranging up to Php 40B estimated damages (Source: NDRRMC as of January 14, 2014, ranked as the second costliest and deadliest typhoon that struck Philippines), and brought tsunami-like ocean surges with pounding, ear-piercing seething wind speed of 315 kilometers per hour (1-minute sustained). An unnoticeable very minute change indeed needs attention in preparation for the future.

What I am trying to convey stated in the second paragraph is that we are either the suspect or the victim involved in such change. We cannot deny the fact that we often blame others why a tragic change rose not considering ourselves as implied in the layman’s term “washing thy hands of committing something.”

Now here is the query, why there is so many humans who ignore Holy Scripture? This might be an awkward question for some (I am sure for that) but let us just seriously try to talk regarding that matter. So why? Why most of today’s people crave more material needs than spiritual nourishment? Why most of the youths put more focus in playing DOTA than in playing super simple maze game directing the subject to Godly standards? Why they opt to play games with violence? Why they are being hooked by those games?

I am not that imaginative about this issue, I am pretty sure that you have already encountered this one. Many of us do not exactly know what is in our way AHEAD but through little proof of changes we can foresee what might come possibly. Younger ones are becoming addicted to computer games, a very good thrill and excitement while having the game session gives them enthusiasm to crave more involvement until addiction occurs. I am pertaining to addiction that do not elevate somebody’s living, well I know not all addictions sound horrible.

I do have the mannerism of reiterating topics so please bear with me. Preoccupying your mind by anything means you do not let other items intrude your thinking, in this way, you sometimes forget other important matters. Voila! You leave them behind your back and sturdily fight against your own mind for your other cravings. Result? You do not spend care for other stuffs, the integral stuffs.

The unobvious reason why others tend to disregard the holiness of their selves is that they are so submissive for their bodily needs. So putting much focus on material needs detours you away from acquiring Godly-standards unless you are born to have the management-ability in operating your life with modulation for material desires. Since I used the term modulation, free me to speak out my insight. Even though modulation is proper utilization of something, it does not specifically mean you are entitled to do whatever you want especially those stuffs which contradict Almighty Being’s words

Do not just stick your attention to huge changes.

Generally speaking, the more a man is attached to being submissive materialistically, the more his mind is focused in the irrational thinking that he manifests. I am thinking of a new way to connect this stuff sa pagbabagong nangyayari o nangyari sa mga tao.

Men confidently say, “I do believe in God” or “I do believe that God exists” yet the practices they are believing in preaching are not suitable for what He expects from us. At first these are just simple habits until they eventually integrated these into their traditions. Sometimes the reason why they unfortunately incorporate these is because they live their lives with their own standards without the intrusion of the word of God. Integration of certain tradition must be kept serious. It should not be the way you think simple and free acquisition of belief which you do not know whether it is worth valuing for or not. So what I mean for this is that bible is really important in living our lives with the standards God is wanting for us.

I wrote this blog not be mean for those who love celebrating occasions like fiestas in tribute to the saints. These occasions do have a common denominator and that is “clothed with false words.”  These are explanations saying ‘we should do this because…’ but I am saying to you all also to please keep on knowing what the words of God are telling us. We should not just rely on our own comprehension because the best explanations can be found in the Holy Scripture and not inside the brain. So that’s it. Thank you for reading my items.

Media: Makes or Breaks?

Television (TV) viewing quite brings us fun, excitement, and seething anticipation of an upcoming program. Some of these programs drift our emotions, some of them make us laugh, some of them dishearten us, and some of them influence us. What I am going to talk about on this blog is the latter one, the influences of media to human life. Please take note that the term media used in the succeeding paragraphs pertains to television.

There is no such thing as smart viewing because it happens in the mind. Whatever warning you present, you cannot manipulate the viewers’ mind, the decision lies on individual’s understanding. If a kid heard that warning yet he did not understand or he really is curious why that warning has been presented, of course he opts to stick his nose on the television to watch the succeeding program.

Parents are of no use when it comes to TV viewing. Television is addictive in the side of children even for adults. None is really capable of manipulating one’s mind unless the power of satanic motivation is used, you know what I mean.

In the late 1960’s, Albert Bandura conducted a psychology experiment among children. He presented a film showing a man with violent actions against an inflatable doll. After the film, children stayed in a room with inflatable dolls around. The next scenario was unexpected, children who viewed the film manifested the same actions they saw from a film while those who did not watch the film never acted the same. This gives us the point that media greatly affects men’s doing particularly children. Children at young ages easily mind-controlled, what would surely happen when they grew up if they were continually exposed to the media?

The most abundant form of media today is television. If it is one of the best ways to getting knowledge (as they say), then why do TV stations present fatalistic shows and programs with adult content? Does it mean they are also giving idea how to become fierce against one another? Remember, TV is among us and everybody could now use it even by the younger ones. Many of the children mimic the brutal actions presented in the screens. They realize the movements they frequently see and make themselves violent and aggressive. Most of them adopt unpleasant manners from viewing extensively harsh film or video clips but even a simple drama program in the television would be a medium for them to acquire such behaviors (quarrelling, disrespectful manners, physical fighting, using deadly weapons, and sexual intercourse).

I am not making these all up. My nephews, aged 6-10 years old, love to watch wrestlers wrestling inside the ring every night using physical strength and other items as weapons. The following day, together with their other playmates, they are going to look for an open field and start wrestling each other. They often end up crying while telling that his playmate boxed him or kicked him. My nieces, on the other hand, play with others but prohibit them to borrow toys. I still remember the TV program that a young girl portrayer acted being selfish on her doll house.

Another story of my ex-classmate supports my views. His nephew mimics Sponge Bob’s behaviors such as banging his own head on a concrete wall several times and letting himself freely fall down on the ground with expected great impact against his head. If the impact is dramatically forceful, brain damages would occur.

Most of the time, these media air dramas portrayed by adults. Bear in mind that whatever a child sees to grownup ones, it is possible for him to imitate the actions because children incorrectly think the same for decent and offensive actions done by adults. TV and real-time situations are both belong to single category so beware of your undertakings in front of children who easily adapt things they have seen or heard.

Although the reason why I am telling these is to explain that TV sometimes does not help humans to mold themselves into better ones, I mean what I have posted. I am not exaggerating the effects of TV viewing, I am giving my perceptions enforced with the behaviors (of known children) usually observed after they watched a TV program.
