Majority of us struggle with the question on truth. Almost everyday we say about things to be true or not true but nothing is more truthful that the question itself. What is truth anyway? Or if there is anything as true, how can I know it?

This question has been bothering me for a long time. My friend told me once that we can say a thing is true if we can see and touch it. Well, there are a lot of things around me that I can see and touch. I can see my computer and touch it so it is true. If I want to listen to music, I can get my radio, Ipod or Mp3, plug it in and play the music I like. These are true because I can see and touch them and it holds true to every thing.

What about those things that I can neither see nor touch, are they true? The air for example, is it real? I can neither see nor touch it but I know it is there. The sun rays also which I can only see when the sun is up but I con not touch it. It is also true because it is there.

When I was young, my mother would hug and kiss me and I knew she loves me. When my father taps my back and say “son, I am proud of you” I knew that he cares for me. When I grew up the right age with feelings on the opposite sex, I know my feelings were real. Even though sometimes I was not sure about those feelings but they are there. I could not see nor touch these feelings but they are real because I experience them and they are true. Thus, feelings such us

Things are true if they mean to us. If they mean nothing, we consider them as unreal. Whereas this idea is just a mere affirmation of the objective world, and a reflection of one’s subjectivity, we can not really sure if things that manifest to us are real or true.

One night I dreamt about sitting in front of the computer and writing on the question “what is truth”. Days have passed and suddenly I found myself setting in front of my computer fooling around with this same question. How can I distinguish this event from my dream? Which one is real and which one is not?

We can say for instance that things are true and real if we experience them. What about if I live in the USA and I do not know about the Philippines, would I consider Philippines as real and true? The same thing as Europe, I never been there but how can I make sure that Europe exists?

All that exists or all beings are true and real. What really makes them real and true? When I look in front of a mirror, I see a brown Asian young man. When I look at my friends at school most of them are white, black and Hispanics. They do not look the same as I look. How do I know if they are the same or different from me? Are they real? Or am I real to them?

Things we can say as whether true or not is more or less through out experience. But our experience is very limited and measured. If we rely on experience, there are things that we don’t experience which are likewise true. If there is oneness in creation, that oneness we can consider it as the truth of everything that is. If there is no oneness, there are so many varieties of truths and we fall into relativism. What is that thing that makes all one? Could it be the source of everything we see and everything we know? Could it be the one that created everything? What is an absolute truth? Is there any absolute truth? Maybe there is only my truth and your truth and a relative truths we uphold everyday. What do you think?

Today I was very upset when I opened my other computer. I thought the computer system was joking on giving warnings about Spywares, computer worms and other suspicious files but apparently were true. As soon as I opened the internet explorer, the security toolbar 7.1 appeared. The name was very catchy and I thought it was part of the internet explorer tools to run my computer safely. Opening my homepage, it directed me to other page such as windows anti-virus 2008, a Spyware online removal.

The most upsetting web page was the Dr. Anti Spy. It kept showing the warning message that my computer was seriously infected with virus and it needed to be scanned and cleaned up. The other one is Securefires website which offers an online scan and stuff. I was really pissed off and I did not know what to do. My other computer is very old Windows XP SP 1 and I had to update the system into XP SP2 in order to install Norton Anti-Virus 2009.

Before I was able to install Norton 2009, I benefited from Google-pack Spyware Doctor which removed some spywares from my computer. The next thing I did was to run windows update to install XP SP2 so that I can install Norton AntiVirus 2009. I was able to install it and now my other computer runs well. I rarely use that other computer with an expired anti-virus protection. Maybe that is why it got infected.

I am not good at computers and other gadgets but I just wanted to remind you to take care of your computer. There are a lot of intruders out there who wants to steal information from you and much less to say, your identity. To avoid this, keep your trusted antivirus going and update it always because you'll never know when this cyber-enemies come to attack your computer.

Invisible Touch Lyrics

This song is very popular in the internet because of its provocative lyrics. I simply like the beat of this great song. It is a real classic rock.

What I like in the lyrics are the lines that say,

"Well Ive been waiting, waiting here so long
But thinking nothing, nothing could go wrong, ooh now I know
She has a built in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems Im falling, falling for her."

and...


"She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart."

The next verse says that the guy does not know the girl... This seems odd but its true because we sometimes feel things are difficult to describe. We stumble upon things that are new to us and seem like we knew them and they somehow moved our being.

Invisible touch? Well, for young people and for old as well, this song is fitting when we want to fall in love again and again. But is this really about love? What if this is about positive and negative energies in the word that drive us crazy and touch us invisibly sometimes...or reality that is beyond our control...

Well I'll leave it all to you folks!

Attraction to the opposite sex is a wonderful thing the Author of Life has put in the human heart. It is there in the heart and we can feel it i.e. it generates likes and dislikes; attractions to the opposite sex. Self expression is based on what we feel. And this is what defines sexuality and our sexual orientation toward others.

I remember when I was younger and beginning to feel these changes in my self. The most unforgettable part was when I courted a young lady at school. It was an experience of not knowing what to do. I devised my personality to cope with the situation and sometimes I would change my personality to express my feelings to her. At first I thought it was just an infatuation in terms of sexual thing but I was wrong. I gradually thought it was an admiration and a feeling for her more than normal.

I have experienced tremendous feelings of expectation, joy and gladness just to have a glimpse of her. My desire was to tell her what I felt and the only word so long to hear was an answer to the question, “Will you be my girlfriend?” The sweetness and calmness of feelings run through all my veins and rested in the sanctuary of my heart. The heart beats were tremendous and they spoke more than any words can tell. I was like being transported into the land where people do not hate, where love is the language. So much happiness I experienced and I thought it was forever.

I have learned humility out of the encounter. Humility brings honesty from my heart to say the words “I love you”. To admit the feelings and say it to the person takes courage to do it. When she finally said “yes” my small world was shaking and my first thought was to bring her right into it where I can be alone with her. It was the most intense happiness I have experienced

I was in a rush to possess her thinking that there are intruders lurking around to snatch her away from me. Humanly speaking, jealousy overtook my feelings and I was not sure if it was right or wrong. The pain that love entails was incomprehensible. I failed to fix the situation and the person I thought to be mine has deserted me.

The suffering I was experiencing was so intense. I was like a casualty in a battle, seriously wounded and only good for nothing. Little by little I came to realize that beneath the suffering, there rests my true self. I took courage to review the past. Now I know time is essential to produce real and authentic love. The shorter the courtship is, the shorter the happiness lasts.

Everybody deserves a second chance. I was given a second chance and I did it pretty well. Now that I know the science of courtship, I can bring the relationship into a most fruitful one. I was so very careful about this because I know that relationship takes time to develop. Trust develops in the right time. I was quite aware that good virtues and growing more in human love produce real love which two people can cherish not only at this present but forever.

My feelings were just as important as my love for her. When I look at myself now and looking back, I always cherish the first time I felt that love. It was full of excitement, surprises, happiness, sadness all because these feelings will take us into the next level of the relationship where we both lovingly say to one another, “I do”.
