Ethics?

To do good with good intention requires knowledge of the truth. It is also an obligation to do good with good intention. Therefore, to know the truth is not matter of intelligence, it is an obligation to know the truth. At times, because of arrogance and pride of our intellect, the prerequisite for us to understand the truth becomes sophisticated. A simple man is obedient to the truth, and so he knows what is good and simply do what is good. In other words, he is like a child. It is also sensible that since to do good is an obligation, it should not require us to have extraordinary intellect. Truth requires no justification nor rationale. Though reason and logic delights the mind, they delights only when consumed with an ordered appetite. From humility comes wisdom. From purity of heart comes vision of the truth without the clouds of sophistication.

The food certainly does not undergo any substantial change from such transfer. Yet so small a gesture, is a gesture of nobility and dignity of a modern man. It is fair to say that this is a proper reverence for a dinner on a weekday. It is also fitting that we carefully pour out pints for our friends, or pull out the elegant bottle and glass we share with the one we love. We would not then, hesitate to employ the most extravagant chalice for the one we love entirely. Indeed, then the food does taste better not in its change in its saltiness, but i...

Promo Code COVID19

Out of my boredom I have cried to thee, O Lord. What about another online store that sells face mask? I have many coronavirus jokes but I am afraid all that is clever about it has already been mentioned. All the repulsion against masks, and likewise, the complaints against people not wearing mask. I suspect that the population that are pro-mask are largely also pro-batman, pro-spiderman, etc... Indeed, we have found our superhero in the mighty surgical mask wearing physician, who are worthy of commemoration with solemn statues. Sometimes I wonder the environmental implication of the mass production of the many disposable surgical masks. Given this consideration, it makes sense to restrict usage of masks for only the physician class. What about the laity? Should the laity be allowed to wear mask? Perhaps that is a good idea for the sake of our life too. Somewhere in the depths of a maximum security prison, a mathematician is smiling at this great turmoil of the world. While we are at ...
