The Greek Philosophy and Hebrew Philosophy The Greek philosophy is to teach and to reason and see and believe in God. The Hebrew philosophy is to believe in God without seeing and without reasoning and believing in faith. The Law came through Moses. Torah was the written law of God. The major repositories of the Torah are the Written Laws of God. The Torah has been classified into two major sections.

Letting go! There was once a lonely girl who longed desperately for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving song birds. She took them home and put them in a small glided cage. She nurtured them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a marvellous song.

Relationships - RIGHT SPEECH Last session we learnt about not to overpower your spouse/partner in relationship. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party. A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered," You should appreciate that you married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire and not you." Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's li...
