understanding.everything is more or less based on this word, including security, frenship and even love.
A written contract is as much an understanding as a verbal promise. In this case, it might be that between these 2 or more parties, there is a consensus. Lets say if it is a military contract, a pact, than wont it bring about security and trust and better trade across the borders of the nations who had signed on the dotted line? More or less, it will surely be a win-win situation.
Through understanding, man is able to progress to such an age of high technology, of computers, plasma tv, aircon, and even char kway teow. Life would indeed be much worse off without these products of understanding. Dont even think abt travelling the world with a click of a mouse or changing the surrounding temperature with just a remote control, we would most probably be like the monkeys and chimpanzee, thinking of the 101th way to skin a banana without messing up the flesh inside it, or even better, just eating grass and be mindless of a brain in our heads. Bring it into personal relationships.
Friendships. Don't this word implies trust and understanding too?
Since primary school, at the age of 7 until now, a much more mature and better thinking, much mroe charming 18 year old, the art of comprehension always seem to elude me. However hard i try to do my comprehension and buck up its skills, my grades never consecutively appear in blue. Through this i know that comprehensive skills realli takes time to nurture. Hard way to learn, but at least it gives me an understanding abt understanding.
It takes time!Many a time u've heard someone conselloring others by saying, "i understand how u feel/ what u are going through..", have u ever stopped and wonder if these people really mean what they say? For some, they have real life stories to back them up but for others, well they might use this phrase as it seemed like the key to a heart locked away in the cold winter, so they might just fabricate tales, which in fact, is no different from thieves duplicating keys to a safe. However, the bottomline is, people seek and need understanding.
Talk to the gal down the street that had been sold in prostituition by her parents from a far away land, or the little puppy that lay there in a pool of warm, red blood, dying after being beaten up by a group of bullies in the name of fun, do u think u will ever understand their plight? So, understanding also requires a certain amount of experience. This cannot be bought like a textbook in the market or studied like the model tys answers. Thats why the one who as understand us most, most probably went through the same plight as well, on a much worse basis!
If u sieve through the multitudes of people on earth, most probably less than a handful will be or hvae gone through the exact situations as u, thats y for me, to find one of those few people would realli be a bonus. Someone to understand me, u, or just anybody. Thats why i thank God for people that even understand part of me, my special people(u mght noe who u are and u migh not), i love u people.
Nevertheless, understanding itself, is never enough. You can understand without loving but u can never love without understanding. How true. In the past, when war and violence was rampant, the study and developing of martial arts started to be of abundance. Martial arts itself, was an art of defense, nothing wrong. Over the years, it took the offensive side, but i could not care less, since the best defense is always offense. However, understanding the studies and origin of martial arts does not mean that the user of such an art has any regards for its existence, if u had forgotten, was to protect and defend. Therefore, think about it, the same dog that guards your house might be the same dog that bite your hand.
Understanding can also be a very scary thing. In the earlier part of this entry, i have touched about understanding being a key to a person's heart. Yup, indeed it is. The reason why i LOVE the God i serve is cos HE loves and understands me, but yet the fact still remains that, why i want to grow distant at times from Him is oso cos, He understands me far too well, much more than i know myself. I am afraid that all the fears and puffed up egoistic pride inside of me will be release by the opening of the door... by the key of understanding.
Yet, if love, understanding and omnipotency is required to make a god God, than i am sure happy that this God is the God i am serving.
Thank U GOD:D
