Comte De Monte Cristo

Here rests the thoughts of an immortal, making of what the world hath thrown at him.

"My dear count," cried Morcerf, "you are at fault--you, one of the most formidable logicians I know--and you must see it clearly proved that instead of being an egotist, you are a philanthropist. Ah, you call yourself Oriental, a Levantine, Maltese, Indian, Chinese; your family name is Monte Cristo; Sinbad the Sailor is your baptismal appellation, and yet the first day you set foot in Paris you instinctively display the greatest virtue, or rather the chief defect, of us eccentric Parisians,--that is, you assume the vices you have not, and conceal the virtues you possess."

Though the prophets of the old had passed on, somewhere and somehow, I seem to have success in everything I do, it is like an unknown force and beings that change my fate and course of life everytime I do something wrong.

Everytime when I am in trouble for something (either being punished by teachers, which is rather rare and for minor minor things, or not being able to hand up some work on time which is equally rare), I naturally avoid these instances, either the dateline for work submission is extended or the teacher forgot about it.

Many people, especially christians, who pray to the one supreme God and other monothestic religions may find their prayers unanswered in times of your need. Had you ever evaluated the question that God wants you to learn, and If you do not, it is true that even God cannot help you. And praying is not just a one phrase verbal recitation, prayer is with the heart, with the purest of ideas and with the right attitude and method. Know this, to the christians God can say three things, Yes, No, Wait... sometimes you must put in your effort and work too. You cannot rely on God alone, neither you can rely on yourself alone ... This is the very essence and reason for religion.

Moral Education, Religious Education and Social Conduct, these go hand in hand. If everyone in the world knows what is shame and not to commit it and knows the right li(ritual respect), there will be no need for serverity because the people conduct themselves with the right morals and the right education ... severity (wars and arrest by police)cannot exist with that. There is also no secret to success, to have friends that respect you, you must first respect them. And if they do not know your goodwill it is allright, becuase the gentlemen(or lady) will not hold grudges against people as everyone makes mistakes(so did confucius and was happy that his student pointed out his mistake).

For those who fear the future, its this simple buddhist philosophy, you want to know your past? Look at where you are now. You want to know your future? What you will do now is your future. This is applicable in the confucian method of right morals and conduct. - And it is here I shall end my entry.
