LONELINESS-in a world of mass connection


Cell phone calls, text messages, emails, online networks, chat rooms-there has never been a time when the means of communicating were so numerous and easy to come by. Yet, in this world of mass connection, many young and old feel very lonely.

The above can be true in the workplace but even more so within the family circle. In many homes family members come and go without sharing meals or conversation. adolescent children have their own computer and live virtually isolated from the rest of family. Ironically, in spite of their electronic communication gadgets, many youngsters feel lonely.

Loneliness has become a social event that contribute to alcoholism, overeating, drug abuse, promiscuous sexual behavior and even suicide. It is therefore important to identify the cause of loneliness. Taking this first step can lead to success in coping with the problem.

How to Find Happiness



What is the key to happiness? Jesus mentioned in the very first words of his famous sermon. He said: "Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need." (Matthew 5:3) What did he mean? What is our spiritual need?

To survive, we need to breath, drink, and eat just as animals do. But to be happy, we have need that animals do not have-the need for understanding the purpose of life. Only the Creator of life can feed that need. Thus, Jesus said. "Man must live , not on bread alone, but on utterance coming forth through God's mouth." (Matthew 4:4) Those who are conscious of their spiritual need are happy because they draw close to Jehovah, "the happy God," and he gives them something vital for happiness-hope.-1 Timothy 1:11.

Predictions of Doom Worry Millions

Type the phrase "end of the world" and the year "2012' and you will discover hundreds of pages of speculation about the end coming in that year. Why so? An ancient Maya calendar, known as "the Long Count", is calculated to end in the year 2012. Many fear that this somehow signals the end of the civilization as we know it.

Many religious people believe that the Bible teaches that the literal earth will be destroyed. They feel that all faithful believers will be taken to heaven, while the rest of mankind will be left to suffer on a chaotic earth or will be thrown into hell.

Does the Bible, in fact, say that the earth will be completely ruined or destroyed?

"Do not believe every inspired expression," warned the apostle John, "but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God." (1 John 4:1) Rather than merely accepting what others say, why not open a copy of the Bible and see for your self what it says about the end of the world? What it teaches may surprised you.

Many years had passed since i began thinking out of the box, the time where i did not think only what to eat and what to wear. I began to worry not because of what might happen with my life but of what might happen to this world..Every year, many are affected of newly discovered disease.

I stopped for a while to watch what makes them noisy. Oh! no..i was stocked from where i stand. Anger, pity and fears dominates me. I know some also felt that way..Here are some part of it.

I didn't know the whole story. I have watched only the last part of the rescue operation. Still i'm looking for somebody to blame for such tragic hostage ending. I felt insecurity and i'm afraid that it will happen to me. With this events, I learned so many things.
  • Life is too short.
  • We are not totally secured in this world.
  • No human Government could give us the complete peace and security.
    No matter of their efforts, they can't solve human problems.
  • We can't put the whole trust to the nobles of this world for they are also immortals.
  • God's kingdom is the only hope of mankind.
