Christmas is a State of Mind

               Christmas is on the coming of God our Father’s Son, Jesus Christ into our world for us to save from our sins and shame. It is not on the giving of gifts from one another.  It is not also on the Christmas lights, Christmas trees or other Christmas decors we might have.  But in fact, it is the day where Jesus was born and we must cherish it all the way.

          That’s why they say, give love on Christmas day.  But for me, we can do it every day.  We can love one another even if it’s not December 25.  We could also forgive people from their sins even if it’s not Christmas.  The date doesn’t any matter at all. I just don’t know why other people have those kinds of beliefs.

          Let us all humble ourselves in the eyes of God just as His Son Jesus came into our midst in the humility of a manger where animals were kept with no comfortable mattress on His back.

Gender Equality Is Good For Health

            Last March 2012, the theme for the International Women’s Day Celebration was “Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities; Progress for All.”  In here, gender equality must really being implemented and observed by every single person to improve health issues for women.   After all, progress will be ours.

          Discrimination towards women is what we call a gender-based discrimination.  It is one of the human rights violations. It strictly limits the ability of women and the community they live in to protect and promote their health.  Gender-based discrimination also limits the attainment of international health and development goals.

          So, for a better situation of our lives, we must all be free from gender discrimination for we are all born with equal rights and equal opportunities.  What matters now is being able to attain UNITY for us to build a strong, efficient and progressive society.  Ladies and gentlemen, let us all work together and let us make the best that we can in everything that we do.  Let us all make sure that we are doing the right thing and not the other way around.
