Pastor commented in his book: "If your behaviour is wrong, it is because there is something wrong with your beliefs."
I wonder how true is it?
What are beliefs?
1. The mental act, condition, or habit of placing trust or confidence in another
2. Mental acceptance of and conviction in the truth, actuality, or validity of something
3. Something believed or accepted as true, especially a particular tenet or a body of tenets accepted by a group of persons
So how do we know what are our beliefs?
We can generally gauge that by our principles, and how we look into things. Perhaps, on a more sensitive note, religion. We tend to follow our religious beliefs in our lives.
So why do people still go wrong in their behaviour?
In the Chinese tradition, they believed in "Yin and Yang" The opposites of good and evil. I believe that when a person become too extreme, they tend to follow their beliefs blindly and end up doing more wrong than good. Take for example on the current situation in Thailand... the country can be so divided due to the different beliefs in what is wrong and what is right, when it comes to the party governing the country. Sometimes, I would just wonder why can't they just settle down on a party to allow the country to grow. But otherwise, there are deeper conflicts that others cannot imagine.
Youth Olympic Games (YOG) is going to happen sometime in August 2010. I'm impress that the Youth Council is taking a proactive stand to promote, reach out and to the different walks of life to participate and contribute to this event. So who says that volunteerism is dead in Singapore?
As long as the person who is volunteering, does so with his or her heart, it matters more than just monetary gifts. The heart of the person determines the kinda actions that will be put through. As the heart is the most pure and fundamental in driving the body, without it, the person can never all do his or her best when it comes to challenges or tasks.
Heart... The Earth needs lots and lots of people with their heart so as to live a better place.
