THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE IS HAPPINESS NOT A BURDEN IF YOU MAKE GOOD USE OF IT


Life is happiness, not a burden if make good use of it


Life is happiness, not a burden, if you make good use of it.


Life always has a story to tell. As children before adulthood, we were fortunate that our parents toiled for us in both hard and unique ways. But do we sometimes take into consideration how our parents suffered for us to give them the respect and love they deserve?


Well, many had it rough in life because they were neglected by their parents, yet be thankful to God, because that bitter experience of neglect gave you the courage and motivation to carry on daily in life, and that will and determination you embraced were the keys that shaped, molded, and educated you to success.

We are positive because we believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. We are hopeful because life never stops dreaming of wonders in spite of the blunders.

She sings of happiness because there is always someone out there at any moment who loves you, who prays for you, who wants to thank you for something, or because you played a significant role in their life.

Thus, it is only proper that you live purely, patiently, and peacefully. Free yourself from the slavery of ‘fitting in,’ for you are more blessed than you look, more amazing than you appear, more intelligent than you sound, more spirited than you seem, and exquisitely precious than you think.


You are God’s masterpiece, rise to every occasion. As a gift to the world, refresh our sensations. If anyone misunderstands you, let them wallow in their ignorance; to be great is to be misunderstood. That’s part of life if you fully understand the aspects of life.

TAKING CARE OF CHILDREN WITHOUT PARENTS

Studies by psychologists show that emotional distress in adolescence and adulthood, including depression, alcoholism, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies, is often associated with abuse and bereavement suffered in childhood. 


Many young children have undergone diverse emotional distresses that are not their fault. Take, for instance, because of divorce alone, thousands of children born today spend their lives in a single-parent family. This contributed to the high rate of child delinquency.

On many occasions, when a child is bereaved, adults think they are too young to feel the loss. According to psychological reports, this assumption is absolutely wrong. 


Until recently, most psychologists believed that there was no way to help a mourning child recover from painful encounters with separation and loss. These are a few recommendations suggested by psychologists to help a bereaved child. Communication starts by telling the child...

“You are not alone. I’m with you.” Hold the child who trusts you on your lap and soothe her with long strokes. Finally, one can put an arm around the child’s shoulders, in this way easing the tension that builds up in the head, neck, and shoulders.
