Ancient West Asia; Revisited

 

The historical details of West Asia entails the relationship of our first major civilizations. It gave the picture of the cultures and traditions of the early times and how did they evolved over time.

 

The history of the emergence of Islamic religion in West Asia gives me interest on understanding better, the Muslim people. The faith of worshipers, doctrines and the account of early protests for religions, opened my eyes on the present day situations of our fellow Muslim citizens.

West Asia is what we commonly referred today as the Middle East. This region, as we can instantly recall as the land of the Arabs, the land of oil reserve, and the dry, arid place of countries with wars. Looking deep inside and way back on this rich land, we Asian must really be proud of it. We often gave value on the contributions of the Westerners on our present generation and forgetting the region that gave birth to the earliest civilizations and religions of the world.

Geographically, it is helpful to think of the area in terms of the three dominant regions that mark its poles- Iran ( formerly Persia) to the east, the Arabian Peninsula to the south, and Turkey, or Anatolian (the Ancient Minor) to the Northeast. The physical dispersal of these subcenters of West Asia is an important feature of an area that has served to link Europe and Africa with Central Asia, South Asia and East Asia.

Mesopotamia; Return to the Eden

The Documentary Film of the Mesopotamia; Return to the Eden, was one of the great historical films that I have watched. I am not a history-major student and the relation of the archaeological history to Bible amazed me a lot and was fresh on my knowledge. This is the first time that I put my attention on the bible and on this facts intensibly. Even I heard of the common names before my curiosity did not bring me to this point of searching more things about this part of history.

 The ancient people were good enough to developed such infrastructures considering the old ways and things they knew. It made me realize and think of our present day, if there were no wars that existed, no great judgment of Gods then, how would earth would be if our foundation are these great people.

This film must be watched by more people, they may be stunned with every revelations on this and would value more our history and its remains.

To give you a summary of the film..

Love story between two bestfriends
This is a real true love story between two bestfriend.

——————————–

Here I am all alone sitting inside the solace of my room. Thinking. Thinking about the things that happened. I don’t know how I was able to live all through out this years bearing this big hole in my heart. It all happened years ago, back when I was still in high school. Back to time when I first fell in love.

It was my freshmen year in high school and was very ecstatic with my high school life. Not wanting to welcome my high school life with a tardiness slip in my hand, I ran furiously through the halls when I suddenly bumped unto someone. I didn’t know that that little accident could blossom into a very fruitful relationship. The person I bumped unto is my best friend.

That’s basically how we first met. From then on, we started hanging around each other. We enjoyed each other’s company. We were always together. We were inseparable.

Honor God in Your Work

Some people said that I am a workaholic ( a Big NO!) for having two jobs. I enjoy my job and i think its the imporatnt part of it. Working as a youth advocate fulfill my want to serve others and teaching makes me really glad especially seeing your students learning and appreciating you.

Five days of work a week in the morning and six nights a week, it is not tiring but its wonderful and I feel very blessed.

We have a community blog on my work and my fellow teachers always inspire me with their life lessons and experiences. Let me share to you this one, I know this will surely inspire you, too…

HeaveNs calendar has seven Sundays a week. God sanctifies each day.

He conducts holy business atall hours and in all places. He uncommons the common by turni

cafés into convents, and nine-to-five workdays into spiritual adventures.

The Rose Within

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it.He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom…it died.

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects. We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect
to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them.

One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them. This is one of the characteristic of love… to look at a person, know their true faults and accepting that person into your life… all the while recognizing the nobility in their soul. Help others to realizethey can overcome their faults. If we show them the Rose within themselves, they will conquer their thorns.Only then will they blossom many times over.
