The Birth of Jesus

A.D.K. LUK

At that time Augustus Caesar (Octavius) ordered a census to be conducted at all the people and for all that was required to go to the city or the people of their own families, to record the contributions imposed by the Romans.

THE HORROR OF MUMBAI

THE HORROR OF MUMBAI

THE INNOCENT CAME TO ENJOY A VACATION

IN A FAR-AWAY LAND.

SOME WERE THERE ON BUSINESS OR

TO LEND HELPING HANDS.

THERE WERE MOTHERS AND FATHERS, BABIES

AND ELDERLY FOLKS.

NEVER DREAMING OF THE HORROR THAT

WAS ABOUT TO UNFOLD.

THEY ATE, THEY DRANK , THEY TALKED AND,

YES, THEY LAUGHED

LIVES THAT WERE PRODUCTIVE

GONE IN A FLASH.

THE TEN GUNMEN THAT WIPED OUT THOSE LIVES

CANNOT HAVE SOULS

Kryptonite and the Peacock

On June 6, 2005, my health suddenly crashed. One day I was superman, the next I was at death's door.

I was a health fanatic when I crashed. That same avidity for health optimization was turned to recovery modalities and understanding etiologies in complex systemic and syndrome type diagnoses.

I'm pretty comprehensive in research and experimentation. This has led not only through the forest of pharmaceuticals, herbals, and into the… Continue

Consciência Negra

Esta é uma semana de reflexão sobre a inserção do negro no Brasil, que coincide com a morte de Zumbi dos Palmares em 1695.

Nesta semana, por todo o país há palestras onde se procura conscientizar a sociedade sobre o papel do negro em nossa sociedade. Os negros do Brasil foram trazidos principalmente da costa ocidental da África, capturados meio ao acaso nas centenas de povos tribais que falavam dialetos e línguas não inteligíveis uns aos outros para… Continue

True Peace via Generation Z ?

"While the baby boomers had a placid childhood in the 1950s, today's twenty-something generation [X] grew up in a time of drugs, divorce and economic strain. . .They feel influenced and changed by the social problems they see as their inheritance: racial strife, homelessness, fractured families and federal deficits...." (Time Magazin 1990; nowadays even more applicable).

Thus, to me it is the most wise, provident and precious mission to educate our kids (the neXt generation "Z", Z… Continue

Creativity-based Economy

Buckminster Fuller liked to do calculations like this: He summed the total money in the world, and divided it by the number of people. Back then (1970's) that made everyone a millionaire. These sorts of thoughts are good mind exercises, and points of contemplation.

However, in fact, money and resources are divided they way they are, which is not only uneven among people, but among groups, like governments and companies. And the rights to use these resources is decided by a complex… Continue

Só resta a esperança

Só resta a esperança

As catástrofes se sucedem. É a revolta da natureza aos desmandos do homem. E ainda assim, a destruição acontece. Como agüentar tantas bombas lançadas na natureza? Quantos poluentes, que destroem a camada de ozônio? Sem contar com os desmatamentos, as queimadas, os derramamentos de petróleo nos mares, as armas químicas e nucleares... não há preocupação com as conseqüências. O viver é apenas para satisfação do… Continue

True Love

True love is living responsibly and in harmony with nature.

True love is treating others with the same respect with which we would like to be treated. True love is teaching our children to behave responsibly.

True love sometimes means sacrificing and doing without.

True love is not getting something because someone else has it, but learning to be happy with… Continue

The Wish

I wish I was reborn

In a new world.

A world

Where people do not value

Money, race and power.

A world

Where nuclear bombs

Jet fighters,

And guns are not produced.

A world where suicide and murdering

Is not a pass

For joining God

A world

Where every one is free

With no stress, pain and tragedy.

A world

Without hate

Without injustice

Without fear.

A world

Full of smiles… Continue

Repeal Prop 8: It's not a threat, it's a promise.

Repeal Prop 8: It's not a threat, it's a promise.

"Because we fully expect to prevail in court, we expect that, at some

point, we will need to defeat a ballot proposal by advocates of same-

sex marriage. Our opponents have threatened such a proposal as early

as 2010. We are already beginning the planning process to lay the

groundwork to defeat a future proposed initiative that would legalize

gay marriage." -- Ron Prentice, Chairman, "Yes on Proposition… Continue
