Life ... (Cont'd)

With the world full of imorality, there ought to be a solution. That solution would be keeping to the Seven Heavenly Virtues which are Faith, Hope, Charity, Fortitude, Justice, Temperance & Prudence.

Faith often seen as trust, belief, fidelity, conviction & loyalty is what people truely need to have. Imagine someone who is faithless and is given a particular project to do with his/her team mates. He/she would not even allow his/her work to be touched for fear that the team members may taint the overall work. A skeptical person. Hmm....

Hope can be seen in desire, belief, reliance & expectation. When the whole world is going against you, do you go to a HDB flat to sky dive? That would be the most unwise yet immature thought to do as living has its many broken and irregular steps upwards. Hope for the best and work towards it. The battle would never be over if you keep the optimism.

Charity in the sense of benevolence, helpfulness, mercy & generosity would create an environment of giving and sacrifice. One should know that we are all human beings and that wealth should be attempted to be evenly distributed. How happy is the poor when he is given the grace of generosity from a men. It goes on.

Fortitude for strength, courage, endurance & resoluteness. The key to true happiness is to continue to do what is right for people even when your jeered or laughed uponed. Never give up for some day your actions will be realised.

Justice would be the same as impartiality, equity, fairness, rightness & dispassion. Refrain from being biased or prejudice against someone. That person if given the right exposure of fairness may bloom to someone useful in society. Never attempt to bring someone down for you may have created a future criminal.

Temperance along the lines of moderation, restraint, self- mastery, sobriety & frugality. To control one's self from the temptations of the world would be to set the mind right. Give the mind some healthy exercises and distractions so that one would not fall so easily into the category of lust. A category which is much more easier to fall into.

Prudence also known as wisdom, vigilance, carefulness, thoughtfulness & discretion. Always attempt to seek wisdom so that you may be careful when the need arises. Do not be fooled by false teachings of the world which focuses on sex, drugs & alcohol. This teachings would nevertheless bring you down to the point of no return.
