Universal Value

Yesterday, the 44th President of the United States Obama met with some future leaders in Shanghai.  He kept mentioning clean energy and universal values that the Americans believe and are pursuing.  It is true that those mentioned universal values are not unique for people in the States, but also for all people, while I'm worrying about the reaction from Beijing.  No matter how, on one hand, personally, I somehow agree those mentioned universal values; on the other hand, it is easy for me to reflect on the issue about what the universal values are with all the questions behind and followed.

Papa Benedetto XVI presented his third and the latest letter, Caritas in Veritate, to all the people which is about love in truth.  I believe in love and can't help agreeing the idea written behind.  We have to wake up and love rationally, in just.  However, where is truth?  Of course, for us Christians, definitely and without any doubt, God is truth.  So, here comes the second problem: how do we know what we are doing and are going to do is based on the truth or the God's will?  Mmmm....let's pursue to find more about the truth.  Cheers.

Warm Tissue Paper



前幾天在澳門日報欣賞了一篇讀者所寫對澳門現況歌功頌德,粉飾太平的文章後,發現原來真的也有不少好人在我身邊。

話說今天早上坐二路公車從下環到發電廠時,有一位高中男生在中區上車後一直站我附近,其實我也沒有留意他。不過到了大概荷蘭園馬路時,他可能因為留意到我一直用力的吸鼻子的關係吧,他帶著微笑的拿著一把衛生紙遞向我,問我要不要,之後我報以微笑跟他說不用跟謝謝。

我心裡面想,這個年青人對陌生人主動關心的行徑實在是可貴,也給我在這冬日裡添了一份暖意。
