Spiritual Belief

From many resources I collected, heared, saw and even touched, I do know that the world has changed tremendously, from its preliminary face until now. I do sometimes wonder if this talk about revolution did exist. But I am so sure, from my personal experience, man does come out from the mother's womb, live, grows, becoming old and dies. I had neither a chance to attend my grandpa's funeral, nor my grandma's funeral too. I did not attend my grandpa's because I was too small to witness the entire process (said my mother) and I was not supposed to attend my grandma's because our Chinese horoscopes are the same. Of course, for a typical Chinese like me, I did follow exactly what was instructed lest this will bring bad lucks to myself, to the dead and to the family. A lot of time, it sounds so stupid to blindly follow this culture but for harmony, I compromise.

Next, talking about baptism, it is so much related to personal feeling to the belief we hold. If we believe, we definitely won't regret to be baptised to the church where we are associated to. But how if we, after baptism, do not follow exactly what the teachings and covenants we made during the baptism? Of course, all that we know, there is always exception to the general rules. But how if this is directly the relationship between Heavenly Father and ourselves? I personally believe because we do believe Father does exist, so as his teachings, I am definitely grateful for that, even proud of. But because lots of time, we live just because somebody needs us to, we do somethings just because somebody told us to, we follow this and that just because somebody hopes us to......It is certainly almost incredible to change this somebody's thoughts but to compromise hoping that this peaceful and harmonious state does continue. Although I am not from the Royal family like Prince William and Prince Harry, but I always find that my status quo always exists and I could hardly find room for further development.

Well, we can say "Time" can change everything, from bad to good, but there is alaways Plus and Minus as my dad always say. Weather would not stay fine for 365 days, so does the human's mood. Finally, this happened to my sister. She's the only one left in our family yet to be baptised, but because we do attend church activities, she's apparently one of the members. Can anybody kindly tell me, is baptism involve any worldly things, especially status in the society? spiritual escape? or even skin colours? Father does not differentiate human based on skin colours, but the humans do. I can tell that this somebody must be so confident in herself that she thought whatever done by her is always correct but I do know she has made a mistake. I do respect her but I do protest. But what I could do is only to constantly provide admonition to her. Sadly to say that most of the things I have said are not accepted, becaused this somebody has been so self-centred. Anyway, anyway, anyway, I will pray that Father will always pick us up from the drain.

Spritual belief can be compared to Harry Potter's story. Whoever acts evilly will be punished, even if this involves endless sacrifices. Sometimes, what we see is not what we are perceived. There are lots and lots of possibility. What we could do at the otherside is to guess and guess and guess, until it might turn out to be a useless piece of findings. What we could learn from is the process, the experience from it.
