Are You Communicating with The Dead?

     There are things in our life that cannot be explained by the science. One of these is the ability of the other people to communicate with the dead. Seeing someone in front of you died is the most sorrowful event that happens to your life. Others believe that it is possible that you can communicate with the dead people. And the others believe that it is not possible because they believe in one thing, “to see is to believe”. When we are still alive, we don’t know if what will happen to us if we die. We always imagine and ask our self, “What will happen if I die?”
     Life is the most important thing in our life that God gave us. He is the only one who can give and take out our life. He told us that death is only the beginning and part of our life. All of us experienced already that someone died and the hardest part is your loved ones. For me, the most painful I experienced was losing my grandmother and my grandfather. Maybe other people don’t care about their grandparents and just leave them.  For me, my grandparents are very special. They are not just other people for me, they are important people. My mother always told me that they always care for me. Grandparents love their grandchildren than their own child. When the time has come that they must rest, I felt longing for them.
    Maybe there are things that you don’t want to accept in your life but it is the reality. Other people believe that others can communicate with the living. And for me, it is true. Even if you are dead, you always think and care about your loved ones. Maybe others communicate with the living people through dreams or maybe with signs like you have a weird feeling. Dead people communicate with us not because they want to scare us but to give a message for their loved ones. Other dead people scared us because they want to have a full attention. Others also scared us because they don’t want to be disturbed. Maybe we are asking, why is it that they are still in here and not go to the other world? For me, they are still in here communicating with the living because they only care of one thing, their loved ones.

I Stop to Say "Thank You Mom and Dad"

              When we are having a conversation with other people, we encountered many things like how do they usually do and how do they act to you and to other people around. But the first thing we usually observed to them is their behavior. You can actually know that this particular person has a good or a bad manner by their behavior. If you see a child helping an old woman crossed the street, you can say immediately that the child is a good and a well-mannered child. As you can see in our society, there are many crimes and illegal actions that have been done because not all people have the same behavior just like the child.
                As we all know, not all people have a good behavior but we can actually change it if we wanted to. We can also adopt this behavior in our society. For my example earlier, the child didn’t hesitate to help the old woman. To our self, we can say that the parents of the child are very lucky because they have a kid that is well-discipline even with his/her young age. To me, if the child didn’t thought well from their parents about good manners, then that child didn’t help the old woman to cross the street. For me, the most important thing that you must respect is your mother and father. A parent always guides their kids in their own life so that when they grow up, they can manage their life easily. The parents also protect their child whenever there are things that are not good for their own children. And a parent always supports their child whenever there are things that they wanted to do that makes them happy.
                For me, the first thing I respect most is my mother and father. They are the ones who always support me. And even if many people are angry at me, I know that my mom and dad always at my side to protect me. And I always believe that no matter how good you are to associate with other people, if you don’t respect your own parents, you are still bad for the eyes of those people. That’s why for me, the only thing I can say to my parents, “Thank you Mom and Dad”.

Am I A Critical Thinker?

Do you always reason out with your class? Do you judge every issue or idea from what you read? Do you consider yourself a critical thinker?

Each one of us has our own opinions and suggestions. We have our own idea from what is right and what is wrong. We have our own judgments if we are going to agree or disagree in a situation. These might be some examples that you are a critical thinker but do you think we are all a critical thinker? Every one of us is a critical thinker but not all of us are a good critical thinker. For me, I am a critical thinker. If there are problems that I encountered, I will look for different possibilities or views to solve the problem. If I have a question about the lessons of our teacher’s discussion, then I will ask about it. If there are discussions that I didn’t understand, I will seek for new ideas. If you are thinking this way then no doubt, you are a very good critical thinker. Being a good critical thinker is very important for us. There are many students who are just having good time with their friends and without knowing how important education is. Some are just playing computer games all the time without knowing how much effort their parents sacrificed for their education. These are the people who are not thinking about their family and just enjoying the rest of their life. Almost all of these examples are reflecting to the students who are just ignoring the importance of education. Having a good or a bad life is in your decision. If you are a critical thinker, you must always think about your own decisions and make your own choice.
