A Future worth Sacrificing

As time passes by, I ponder on a future wedding I work, pray and hope for. Of course, life is much harder this generation than the previous ones. But I won't make politics on this article. It's just, having a family is very sacred and important. It provides happiness to all and an inspiration. So, does almost killing yourself at work to earn a lot or praying and going to church is necessary for that future?

I say, YES.

Despite the rising taxes and the hardships of being alone, I strive to make sure I won't be complacent when big-time money comes to me. I have to earn more, because a wedding is not just that word I can't say since it' a family show or for visa or money; but for the future with happiness and love. I've got to show my love for my girl, because she is my chosen future. Of course!

I am a man, and it's what a man must do and never forget!

Happiness, Sacrifice and Love

I had a busy week. Yes, updating my blog could be time consuming, especially that my work has 2 hours overtime. But let's get to my article.

Every single day, I hope for marriage. Everytime I daydream, it makes me feel it will happen, with my only girl. How can a marriage be successful? Simple. Three words; Happiness, Sacrifice and Love.

Happiness-While still as boyfriend-girlfriend, I won't go and enjoy by myself with discoes and parties, but showing to my girl I can do it! And then after the future wedding day, I'll make that simple but happy family life come true.

Sacrifice-Talk about it and make sure the problems will be kept low. Of course! Know the answers to every problems that occur, surprisingly or unsurprisingly.

LOVE-Without this word, there will be no trust. It's not just mentioning this word over and over again, but doing it!

With these three words, seeds of a happy family life will happen. It won't be overnight, but by God's grace and our patience, we won't lose what simple prayer and hopes we have.

My thoughts on every May Day Parade

May 9. Ok, guess why I am making this article.. Because it is the day the Allies declared victory in Europe. In the English speaking world, it is called: "Victory in Europe or VE Day". In Serbian which I am a big fan, it is called "Pobeda nad fašizmom" or "Victory over fascism".

Mainstream media has the impression Russia is trying to revive the Old Soviet Union but, besides from the historical flags the soldiers used for the parade or the war veterans themselves appearing, is it really to revive the Soviet imperialism? I will say NO! Big NO! I hope one day, mainstream media will find itself to be enlightened that it is to celebrate the triumph not just by the combine Russians, Ukrainians and other nationalities of the former Soviet Union but also by the Western powers that liberated the Western and Central parts of Europe. The Soviet forces suffered a lot along with the civilians during 4 years of war: 30-40 million or more combined including Orthodox Christian priests that went through the battlefield as soldiers to protect Russia despite the atheist Josif Staljin's brutal regime. Setting side personal matters for the protection of your country with God's promise of future freedom for your descendants is priceless that doing nothing.

Hope everyone in the world, victors or enemies back in those days will celebrate the event worldwide as a solidarity of hope and redemption by everyone for working together to defeat the common enemy regardless of the suffering they or we will be feeling through the generations. Let's not forget the souls and the current survivors of the Great patriotic war. Hvala Vojska Rusije!

It's not just during LENT we sacrifice

So, Lent started this Monday but because of my work, I have to stay fit or eat properly. I may or may not fast because of it too. Hope God sees my prayers and how I struggle to become a better person.

But I ponder that, we should not just sacrifice this Lent but most of all, everyday. We don't know what may happen but we have to be ready because God gives us challenges we will overcome. When I mean sacrifice, it's not just refraining from meat or cheese but also trying your best not to say foul words or thinking something bad or a lot of negative traits. Because one thing is sure, God sees us whether we do good or bad things. At Judgement Day, he will see whether we are deserving of his kingdom.

Of course I am praying for it but it's God's will to test me more. We are all sinners but because there is God, we will realize the error of our ways and will strive hard to change for the better while we dedicate everything to him. That's why we pray often the Jesus Prayer along with our personal and from-the-book prayers.

We can fast anytime, help the poor or the needy, forgive our enemies and pray sincerely. That's not just restricted to Lent, so it's what God gave us. The free will to live our lives as a true Christian.

Have a blessed Lent to everyone. God be with us all. +++

Sad Endings have some positive meaning

What is a sad ending? I known a lot but ever since watching an anime about sacrifice, i knew that, not every sad endings are sad. I mean look at the bright spot. It is just the main character sacrifices one thing for the good of all. Some do it for the main characters or for everyone. How about in real life? A lot.

I can site the Battle of Kosovo or the Masadah or even the Alamo. Not to mention Battle of Tirad Pass. All of them sacrificed everything for their homeland. They lost but it was a Psychological and Emotional Victory, for years to come and historians to write down every piece of history.

In fiction, Lelouch Vi Britannia of Code Geass R2 and Ao Fukai of Eureka Seven Ao with the Quartz Gun. All of them sacrificed one thing for the common good of all. Not to mention Renton Thurston in AO were to save the unborn Ao's existence, he forced Eureka to the past were less Trapar exists since more Trapar will kill a hybrid human and Coralian, the reason their daughter turned to stone after three months due to exposure to Trapar. 

No bad things about a sad ending as long as there is a positive outcome. It is just painful for one person to bear.

Sacrifice

That's why we must take responsibility. A words of someone that will sacrifice some things for the better of all. I haven't found a thing to sacrifice but i wish i can sacrifice those things in favor of a much better future. I don't want bad things to happen anymore but they still keep coming.

I am innocent to the point that people tend to be selfish towards my feelings. I admit i am against this selfish world but if i have to sacrifice things for a much better future for everyone, i may do. I have no choice. Would i even want a future for myself only? Of course no! But that is i would be in that kind of critical situation. Everyone needs to make that sacrifice or this world would not be a much better place to live.
