THE KIDS

-

Kids are the same on their ages. They are very active and keen to move around with their activities. Some are playing with their partner. They tend to be more partner-looking. Looking for partner to share with. On the contrary, some enjoy doing with their own. Partners are just competitor who are considered as threats.

Sense of competitor is very dominant in the matter of tendency to defeat each other. There is winner and losser.

Sense of heroism could be found when they select TV channel. Cartoon film is one of their favorite channels. It is about funny things, colourful character of the actors, and .....heroism. Becoming a hero seems to be their ideal object. Dream that they always have.....

It’s odd that after thousands of years of great spiritual example and literature we have to remind ourselves that spirituality is to be found in everyday life. The world’s sacred poetry, ritual, prayer, and art are filled with images of incarnated divinity, or the eternity that lies, admittedly sometimes hidden, in the temporal, or the transpersonal that animates our personal lives. Hundreds of times painters have taken up theme of the “Annunciation” and have pictured that moment, that eternal moment that is in all our lives, when the angel evident in Tibetan tangkas and in Indian sculptures and when William Blake says, “Eternity is in love with the production of time.” (Thomas Moore) So.... Spirituality is a mistery in the terms that it is difficult to logically explain instead it is a concept to be experienced. This life offers time to think about it through a number of moments. The high degree of spirituality understanding could be found in the perception of consciousness towards li...
