As much as men complain about not being able to understand women, women too find men very difficult to comprehend. Women wants the attraction from men and wish to be the Women men adore. It is a simple yet complicated relationship of a man and a woman. Everyone has some ideas of what the relationship should be and sometimes strives very hard to find that ideal guy or girl.

I realized that there is no “perfect marriage” or “perfect relationship” here on earth. What can be done is not so much blaming and shouting angrily “What is it about them!” but to humble oneself to build up that relationship. If you need more help on this area, you can check out the book by Bob Grant, “The Woman Men Adore… And Never Want To Leave”.

Since my wife is hungry, we went out for supper again just now. I was quite hesitant to go as I was not feeling hungry. But if I don’t go, my wife would not go by herself. She would surely sulk and either find some titbits to eat or sulk away her “hungriness”.

Had Roti John and Fried Kuay Teow which is really a lot for us. Did not finished the Roti John as both of us are really full. I don’t think I want to go out for supper so often. Had not enough exercise in the past weeks and supper will not help my body either. Maybe once in a while I will go lah.

Words have the power to give life or death. Words therefore must be used carefully and in all instance should be to give life. All of use are growing older by the day and going nearer towards death. Use words then to give life and delay that process of death.

How many of us take the effort to think first before we say some words to others? Words once spoken can never be retracted. Be careful then of the words you want to say to others.

I always wanted to journal my life with words. Now, I pray that I’ll will be consistent in doing so in this blog.

Each one of us has desires. That’s a beautiful gift that God has given to us. Along with it, we are also given a freewill, the factor that governs our desires.

Yet, many people are afraid of the word desires. It has bad and negative connotation… desires means bad and immoral desires. No doubt that most of us are not holy or perfect morally, but a man who can control his desires is more powerful than the whole battalion of soldiers.
I battle for control over my desires every day. It is a constant battle. Either I control my desires or it controls me.

Buddhism teaches us to try to get rid of our desires. I think that is a losing man’s principle. It is the same as saying that if you cannot control something, you must get rid of it. What if I can’t control my wife, can I get rid of it? What about my children, my parents, my siblings etc. Would it be better if we learn how to control our desires.
