It's a Sunday again. In the last few days, I met some friends that I've not met in over 30 years. These are friends that I went to boarding school with, the one's that I grew up together with. We laugh, we play and of course we fight. If you look at the major conflicts in the world, you'll notice that people fight for causes where the prize and cost are significant and life changing...some fight for freedom, some fight against oppression, some fight for their religion, some fight against prejudice and some fight for a better life. The struggle in these conflicts reflects mankind's determination, courage, perseverance and the depth of human spirit.
Unfortunately, from when we are young as we continue to live life on a daily basis with one another, conflicts arose constantly when personal ideas and beliefs crosses due to our different values of what is right, wrong, good and bad. When I look at the reasons why my children fight, most of the times it's laughable, childish but valuable lessons they must learn in the process of growing up. I remember watching a series on TV a long time ago called "The Three Stooges" about 3 grown men constantly at each other’s throat. Some people never grow up, I guess.
What's our reason and what are we fighting for? What are the "Prize" and the "Cost"?
...still fighting with my gals over ASTRO
