Praising God

Praising God is the same as having communion with him, a way of already being in eternity.

At a crucial moment

At a crucial moment, right at the beginning of their creation, all beings must have made a decision whose consequences would last forever: whether to follow the paths of wisdom or madness, good or evil.

Fear commands to flight

Fear commands to flight, and anger to attack. Both need to be advised by common sense.

Every battle

Every battle gets tougher immediately before its final decision, and we need to be prepared for those dark moments; for it is in them that hope is most justified.

The wicked do not believe

The wicked do not believe in true justice, and mock it. For him, the justice of men can be circumvented, and that of God does not exist.

We Can Always

We can always justify ourselves for the way we have acted; however, not for the way in which we have not acted when we should.

Unbelievable Thing!

    Two dogs were walking down the street and one said to the other, in a sad voice:
    - Life here in this neighborhood is not easy! It is rare to find anything to eat in the garbage cans.
    A cat, coming past them, heard to the dog and said,
    "I'm sorry to intrude in the conversation, but I believe I can help you. What you must do is to accompany some passerby, showing themselves to be friendly and interested in him. This way you will have a good chance of being adopted by someone. If you choose to accompany a child, your chances will be even greater!
    The dogs looked at each other in amazement, and spoke at the same time:
    - Wow! A talking cat!

Valuable Object

    A certain collector of valuable old objects was walking down a street and, standing in front of a pet store, he watched a cat taking milk in an old vase. The collector recognized that this vase was indeed a valuable antiquity, and went to speak to the shop owner, asking how much it cost the cat. The store owner spoke the price and the collector readily agreed to buy the animal. And said:
    "If you do not mind, I'll give you twice the money and I'll bring the vase, too!"
    The owner of the store said:
    - In no way! This vase is giving me damned luck! Only this week I've sold twenty cats, and everyone who bought them wanted to take it!

What is our Personality?

If the information that results from our experiences and learning is stored in our brain, and assuming that dualism is true, ie that the mind is independent of the brain, we can ask what happens to this information when we die: Do we take all of it to the other world within our eternal mind, or just some of it? Or are we only left with its more concrete result for us, which is our personality?
