A.K.A Zafra

! Sa matagal ko na nilagi sa iba ibang panig ng mundo, naging malinaw sa akin na makikita ang asenso o pag unlad ng isang sambayanan, tahana, pamayanan, lalawigan, komonidad, o sa malaking aspeto, ng isang bansa kung paano pahalagahan at pangasiwaan ang .

Sa larawan na ito, makikita ang mga basura sa kalsada, na naturang pinakaabalang kalsada papunta sa City Hall ng Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija.

Mga mismong tao ang gumagawa nito, magtapon sa lansangan, mga namumuno naman ang mag bigay at magpatupad kung paano pangasiwaan ang basura. Saan tayo dito nag kulang?

Sa tao ba na may pinakamababang uri ng pag iisip? Para ipakita sa pamayanan na maari sila mag tapon ng basura sa kung saan man.

Sa namumuno, katungkulang, taong may awtoridad? Dahil hindi nila nagagampanan kung ano ang dapat na ipasatupad at mag laan ng tamang lugar para sa basura.

Ganito ba ang hangad nating makita sa ating bayan at kinagagalawan? Ang walang respeto sa kalikasan at pamayanan. 🍃

We, us human (PÈ0PLĖ) should learn that in order to recognize good, we must know evil.

In order to know the right thing, we should know what is wrong.

We aught to ourselves that we should be grateful for all the mistakes, bad & wrong doing.. because only then we can know the difference.

Never be too busy for loved ones…

It is very easy in the rush of living to overlook people close to us. I do it. I have a family who are very special, very close to me and I forget to phone, forget to stay in touch. Not because I don’t care but because I am too busy. Unforgivable.

Every now and then I’ll complain that I haven’t heard from them. But of course it is in me not staying in touch just as much as it is them. We have to make time, because if we don’t, time slips past so fast that a few weeks become months, and then years are added on before we know it.

So make time for the people who matter - today.

Here's why you should not GOSSIP.

In Ancient Greece, Socrates had a great reputation of wisdom. One day, someone came to find the great philosopher and said to him:

- Do you know what I just heard about your friend?

- A moment, replied Socrates. Before you tell me, I would like to test you the three sieves.

- The three sieves?

- Yes, continued Socrates. Before telling anything about the others, it's good to take the time to filter what you mean. I call it the test of the three sieves.

The first sieve is the TRUTH. Have you checked if what you're going to tell me is true?

- No, I just heard it.

- Very good! So, you don't know if it's true. We continue with the second sieve, that of KINDNESS. What you want to tell me about my friend, is it good?

- Oh, no! On the contrary.

- So, questioned Socrates, you want to tell me bad things about him and you're not even sure they're true?

Maybe you can still pass the test of the third sieve, that of UTILITY. Is it useful that I know what you're going to tell me about this friend?

- No, really.

- So, concluded Socrates, what you were going to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor useful. Why, then, did you want to tell me this?

"Gossip is a bad thing. In the beginning it may seem enjoyable and fun, but in the end, it fills our hearts with bitterness and poisons us, too!"

Let’s Talk!

Somè people seem to find life so easy. They glide effortlessly onwards and upwards, always saying and doing the right things, whatever the situation.

Everybody likes them - they are great to spend time with, and to live or work with. They are happy (for most part), content and know how to roll with life’s punches.

They have time for everybody, and always seem to know what’s important - and how to deal with what’s not.

This is not what I wish for any children. At a young age, the quality of life has been deprived from this kid. It is a sad reality that the victim of an irresponsible adult is a kid like this.. bringing a child in this world without a vision of providing a quality of life that every child deserve breaks my heart 💔

{SîX} 6 Things You Should Never Change About Yourself For A Partner

1. Your relationship with your friends and family.

There’s one thing we should all aim for when looking for love: Finding a partner who accepts and loves us just as we are.

Settling for anything less than that will set you up for heartbreak. Below, marriage therapists and other experts share six things you should never feel compelled to change for your partner.

If your partner loves you, they’ll make an effort to at least like your friends and family, said Christine Wilke, a marriage therapist in Easton, Pennsylvania. That means no pouty faces when you propose Thanksgiving at your folk’s place and no sarcastic, snide remarks when you discuss your friends’ ongoing relationship troubles.

“You can’t give up special friendships or relationships with family members at the behest of your partner,” she said. “It’s going to be hard to have a truly authentic relationship with your partner if they force you to pick sides.”

2. Your imperfections

We all come with baggage. We all have a unique, particular set of flaws that have shaped and defined our lives. A partner worth your time and energy will will find a way to love every part of you, including the imperfections, said Betsy Ross, a psychotherapist in Massachusetts.

“Seeing only the very best features and ignoring the not-so flattering parts of a person is not helpful,” she said. “No person in a relationship can sustain such perfection or high standards for long.”

If your significant other can’t recognize that you’re both imperfect, flawed people, the cracks will eventually begin to show.

“The shoes left in the middle of the floor, the dishes in the sink and the thoughtless comments made will eventually become impossible to ignore,” she said. “It can wreak havoc on your relationship if either of you has refused to acknowledge the other’s imperfections and humanity.”

3. Your values

In your quest for a quality relationship, never compromise your core values, said divorce coach Kira Gould. Real, lasting love is based on people being transparent and true to who they are.

“Trying to be someone you’re not for the benefit of your partner is a tiresome and weary way to live,” she said. “It’s not sustainable over time. In particular, changing or compromising on your values or belief systems is a no go.”

Changing your stances on the big issues ― self-respect, family, integrity, spirituality or economic security ― so they match up to your partner’s beliefs creates resentment and oftentimes leads to a break down of the relationship, Gould said.

“Most of us share a basic human tendency to want to be loved and accepted, but this desire should not be at the expense of our true self,” she said. “There is nothing more intoxicating than being fully seen and accepted ― warts and all.”

4. Your life goals

The goals you had before meeting your S.O. shouldn’t significantly shift just because you’re now one half of a couple. Sure, you may come up with shared dreams and visions for the future, but they should never supersede your big life goals, said Amy Kipp, a couples and family therapist in San Antonio. Your goals should commingle, not compete.

“If you’ve always been career-oriented, your partner should encourage decisions that support your career,” she said. “If having children is something you have always dreamed of, you shouldn’t let go of that to make a partner happy. These are the issues that you should be talking about along the way, so you can each determine if your goals align.”

5. The qualities that makes you unique

Before your friends introduce you to someone in their circle, what do they say about you? How kind and considerate you are to others? How quick-witted and funny you are? Whatever your unique, shining qualities are, don’t let them go dull for the sake of a relationship, said Marni Feuerman, a marriage and family therapist in Boca Raton, Florida.

“If you have been told by many people that a certain unique characteristic is a positive asset, don’t change it for the one person who criticizes it,” she said. “Maybe you are outgoing and friendly but this makes your partner jealous or perhaps you’re free-spirited but your partner gets infuriated by your lack of planning.”

If your partner feels that something about you needs to be “fixed,” consider it a big red flag.

“If they feel that way about you, I’d think long and hard about your future together,” Feuerman said.

6. Your passions

You love surfing or volunteering after work at a local non-profit but lately, you’ve been putting those on the back burner in favor of couple time. In the early, heady days of a relationship, your priorities are bound to shift. You want to spend every waking hour with your partner. Still, don’t let your passions take too much of a backseat to your budding relationship, said Debra Campbell, a psychologist and couple’s therapist in Melbourne, Australia.

“Your partner may be one of the great loves of your life but it’s vital to hold onto the other great loves in your life ― the hobbies, work or interests that light you up and make you feel passionate.

And focusing on your passions will ultimately benefit your relationship, Campbell said.

“Doing what you love fuels desire and gives you joy, happiness and passion to bring back to your relationship,” she said. “It means you’re at your best and most attractive to your partner and to yourself. Never dismiss the things that give you personal pleasure.”
