What Do We Expect In life?

          Good relationship. Forgiveness. Power. Freedom. Peace . Love. Prosperity.Financial Stability.
          There are many reasons to live and celebrate Christmas in our hearts. Going back to the moment when Jesus Christ has lived and influenced the innocent people., but still there were stubborn people even at the very young age of the world. They compete for power, they argue much about religion.
          There are no system, no laws to govern the people. Until such time that rules and laws were made to protect the rights of every people. In the year 1800's there were  many struggles for power and properties among nations. Battles occurred everywhere. Blessed are the men who had sacrificed and fought till the end for search of freedom and independence. They become heroes. Recognition and celebrations are given to them.
          The 19th century came, still we crave for power. People had become intellectually aware  of industrialization and aim for modernization. Every country aims to be different. Everyone works harder to achieve greatness and perhaps popularity. In every aspect there were competitions; in sports, music, arts, science discoveries , new technologies , beauty pageants and everything. We aim to discover new things , to gain more avenue to business and entrepreneurship for we believe that it is the best way to achieve success.
          Twentieth century begun. The computerized age. The period of fast and easy access to knowledge. We compete not for powers anymore, but for wealth, personal wealth. People work harder to achieve financial stability. Traveling to other countries had become luxury and perhaps status symbol. People had improved themselves materially. From cellphones, to single motors, cars, vans, elevated houses and others.Communications had improved so much because informations can be digitally wired in every part of the world.Who doesn't like that? Is God, happy for us? For the achievements we have made? perhaps. Perhaps not.
          Why do I point this out? Because of so many things that worries me, Envy, ambitions and greediness to position. Christmas is approaching, I just hope that it's really a good time for reconciliation and humility. let love reign in this world. let peace be in our hearts...always. May God bless all the nations of the world on this Christmas season!
