Invisible Laws

   
   Since the time when we were born, we have taken a step on the journey of discovering the invisible laws. Philosophers are trying to find these hidden nuggets and society strives to preserve them. These treasures are morals and ethics without which we are never going to be truly successful. Some people have almost no moral stance, while others are convinced activists for ethical standards. Which moral ideas are right? To which part of our lives do we have to pay a particularly close attention? These questions I want to ponder over in this post. 
   
   Today I finally came a conclusion that we (i.e. all human beings) are living in the world of moral laws. I did it by making a little party at our house to celebrate Mother's Day and tell my mom how much me and my brother love her. In the end of our family party we all have been crying and hugging. At that moment, I realized that nothing in the world can make you grow spiritually, become better, as following the invisible laws. You can feel them by your heart and read about them in the Holy Book. Knowing them doesn't give us any benefit, but only doing them make the positive effect on our lives.

   I figured out today that one of these invisible laws is loving your family members and doing the best for them. It may sound typical and easy, but in reality the key to our satisfied life is based on these simple principles. No money and prestige can give us the same joy as to see our family members happy. If there's no peace and lovely relationships in our homes, our lives are ruined despite of our status. Same happens if we break other invisible laws. Stealing and lying hurts our integrity which makes us weak. Not paying the proper respect to our superiors will damage our authority in front subordinates. This list can be very long, but it all comes down to God's Word which became much more important in my eyes after I have rediscovered these invisible laws.

Honesty International


«On September 2011 I’ve deactivated my FB account. I would like to share the reasons why I did so and why I still adhere to this view.

1.Your life becomes public. If you don’t post every little detail of your personal life on FB, it means you haven’t used it for a while yet. On FB everyone shares their personal stuff with everybody else. You’re going to know who your friends date with, where they do their shopping, what pair of socks they wear, how they feel every second of their lives. Eventually, you yourself are going to become like them. You’re going to make your life a billboard on the freeway on display for everyone.

2.Most of your FB friends are fake. You think you are socializing here and make connections when in reality your friends’ list is full of people who are no one to you. Try to remember when you gave a call to each one of your “friends,” let alone really meet with them. Oh, yeah, I forgot you are very busy! But why wasting your time on hundreds of your virtual friends on FB, when your real close ones need attention?

3.It’s a waste of time. The actual statistic states that an average American citizen spends 16% of his time on FB. And the percentage is growing! What does the time spent here gives you? Little more comments on your wall, few messages, and “Like” on your profile picture. And in the end of the day you may be glad what an active FB user you are.

Before I will deactivate my account once again I would really like you know that I value honesty more than anything else.
