Why love is stronger than hate?

The two main forces that control the affairs of the universe are love and hate. These forces are the main elements that drive human being to follow the path of good or evil. They both deal with the heart of humans which gives every individual to have the passion of doing the right or wrong mostly unto others. The reason why love is stronger than hate is that love is everything. With love you can cross all impossible boundaries while hate can limit a person at only one place. Love brings unity among people while hate divides people and as it is always said that “united we stand, divided we fall”. Even though love is known to be stronger than hate, these days, a lot of people around the world are living in hate because of selfishness, jealousy, envy and other sorts of evil. It is because of hate that there are a lot of wars going on around the world between different countries. Because of hate there are terrorist attacks, racism everywhere we find ourselves. Hate is easily developed while love is a gradual process from time to time to build up but once it establishes itself, it becomes strong enough to conquer hate. Love is stronger than hate because love is accepted in all kinds of cultures around the world. Love is also accepted in all kinds of religion around the world such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and so on. Hate is despised in all these religion also and views it as a sin against God or the religion norms and doctrines. In Christianity, Christians believe that it is through love that God sent his son Jesus Christ to die and cleanse them from all unrighteousness. People were living in hate and sin before Jesus came. Jesus came to show the world about the true meaning of love and the power of love over sin and hate. True genuine love makes people even forgive their enemies and then live in peace. When we live in love, we are at peace with ourselves and others. Love also has a good impact on relationships. When there is true love, the relationship is stronger but hate cannot build relationships. Love covers every aspect of our lives and therefore embracing it not only helps us to love, but also helps us to be at peace with our own selves.

Sympathetic magic

It was my first day in my General knowledge in art class in my visual art studio at my second year of high school. Our Art teacher, Mr. Justice, walked the class into an introduction of what Art is and how art came about and who did Art begin with. This class actually opened my mind about art from just being a common drawing of pencil lead on a surface of paper. After taking this class I looked at art from a different perspective and then my interest and love began to grow more for it. For the introduction of Art, we learnt that Art evolved from the age of the prehistoric or the cave man. The cave men used stones, animal blood, and other natural materials to make phenomenal art forms against their cave walls. But those art forms that are still seen on these walls today were not made by the cave men for beauty but were used for the purpose of a ritual known as the Sympathetic magic which is also known as the imitative magic. This kind of ritual which is based on the metaphysical belief that like affects like. It is normally known to be an offensive ritual. It also the basis forms of divination and can be compared to the ritual which is known today as voodoo. For instance, a line can be drawn to represent the life of a particular person that the ritual is aimed at. It could be drawn on any surface together with an image representation of the person or the victim. The line is drawn to show how long the person will live. The longer the line, the longer the person lives. Of the line is short, then the persons life is cut short also. We learned that the cave men used this same kind of ritual to help them hunt animals for food and shelter and also protect themselves from predators. They perform this magic by drawing the image of the animal and then omit some features of the animal. The animal could be sketched without eyes, which affects the actual animal’s eyesight and therefore wouldn’t be able to se it’s attackers. In other cases, some animals are drawn with a hole through their body, a missing leg, nose, ear, or any part of the animal’s defensive system to make the animal defenseless. After this class, I then saw that Art can also be magic.

My first Tomato Stew

Cooking is one activity that I used to find to be very challenging to me as a young man. I never even dreamt of being able to cook for myself until it came to the time that I had to move into my own school apartment on my university campus. I never thought it will ever come to this. When I was young, I had my older sisters always around to cook for me and of course my mom even if my sisters leave the house and get married to their future husbands. So because I keep that in my mind that I would always have them around to cook good meals for me, I didn’t see the need for me to learn how to cook for myself. At some point they tried to get me to learn cooking but I got angry and I always expressed my self to them that I am a man and so therefore I do not need to worry about cooking at all in my life. They told me that I will never know when I will be alone away from them and will have to depend o myself and not on them and they stated “cooking” as one of these factors. They continued to remind me time after time but I still did not listen to their advice. Their advice didn’t get to me until I started college and ended up living in the school apartment complex. At the very beginning of staying in school I signed up for the school meal plan the first semester and then bought some extra groceries and snacks to keep in my room. Everything was smooth during the beginning until I started getting tired of the school food first of all because we are basically fed almost the same food every day. And second of all, I realized that I was also paying a lot extra for the school due to the addition of the meal plan. So I asked one of my friends who always coked foe himself. He told me that he always saved a lot since he cooked f himself and he can always cook something different ad don’t have to worry about eating the same stuff the school gives. So I quickly cancelled the meal plan and then called my mom that I want to get a recipe from her to make tomato stew. She laughed at me and she said to me that “that’s what happens if you listen to good advice. So she gave me the ingredients and directions of the stew. I followed carefully. It took me about 3 hrs to finish since I was nervous. I finally arrived at my first tomato stew and I was proud of myself. From then I saved a lot of money since I could make my own food which lasts me for more than two weeks at a time.

My Imagination

I strongly believe that in life every individual has the power of imagination where they can be in their own world outside of the real world that we are in. imagination is the power of the mind to create or reproduce something which was previously perceived. I mainly think of imagination as using the mind to make the impossible become a reality in your own mental world. Everyone has what they always like to imagine about during a free time at home or anytime they find themselves taking some sort of relaxation. I always find my self in my imagination world even when I am in a class, but not mean to say that I do not pay attention but I only find myself imagining when the teacher is boring. I also imagine a lot when I am at home or sometimes even sleep, it may seem like a dream but I consider it also as imagination. I usually like to imagine about my surroundings most of the time. When I daydream of taking an expensive vacation as I relax on the rocking chair at the back of my house, I end up imagining about relaxing at an exotic beach in the island of Hawaii, Cancun, or the Bahamas. Such delightful imaginations makes me forget about what is going on in my real life and always ends up when I hear my mother screaming out my name to come inside to help her with the dishes. My power of imagination helps me a lot in my love for art. Out of my imaginations, I get new ideas in my head which I reproduce on paper. For instance, as an architect student, when I see existing buildings as I walk in town or anywhere else, I picture those buildings to be something else in my own design and I transform them into something else new in my mind. Some times houses can transform to be a car or even humans through my abstract imagination. But sometimes my imaginations cause me to be inattentive. Most of the time, people complain about my attention. My families even complain that it is becoming a problem for me. This imagination behavior has one advantage for me in my architecture field and a disadvantage which is how people blame it for being the cause of my attention problems. With the attention part, I will do my best to work it out but that doesn’t mean that I am going to thrash it away.
