Although 2008 has passed, it does not mean that all problems has been passed, such as war, hunger, refugees, and the most dangerous is climate change which will destroy our earth slowly like a cancer. Yes, slowly but sure! Let take action to slow its change.
At the other hand, maybe young people will be happy, perhaps they feels has become adult and proudly says "I am not a child anymore". Feels like holding "VISA" to access all things labeled "For 17 years above". But I say you will facing more burden and responsibility in future. It same like me when became adult and got marriage. Older people maybe says "Soon I will pension and enjoy the life because all my children has been marriage". But the life problems always belong to you as long as you are in this world. At least you will feel sad if your children fail in their life.
During my life, I ever met people who follow atheism and said "I do NOT believe the existence of God. Life is 100% of what we have done, the result of success or failure". You know what my answer to him? I said: "If so, how if you are facing the last minutes to dead, whether you are still don't want to mention the name of God?" At that time, apparently he was confused with my answer, ha... ha...
Come to my family, I am impressed when my wife suggest me to do a general check-up for health this year. She said: "If you love your family especially to our little daughter, please do it". Oh my God... maybe she want to make sure of our health and physically ready for facing this year. Thank you so much my wife, I realize that our children still depends on us.
New year, new hope, new problems and new challenge. Be prepared and facing with confidence, because each turn of the year actually reducing our life quota to live in this world. Believe it or not, we can not reset the time. That's what I think, a random thoughts. For 2009, I want to repeat my hope which has not been fulfilled in 2008. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. Happy New Year to you all.

ReplyDeleteHave a good day!
You make some very good points in your post. Our planet is in trouble there's no doubt, but as you said, new year, new hope.
ReplyDeleteI will have to agree with your wife. When you have a family you have to take care of your health.

ReplyDeleteDear Kristina, thank you. Happy New Year to you too and success for you.
ReplyDeleteYour hopes are as valid today as they were last year. So, what is wrong in dreaming?
ReplyDeleteYou might also ask your friend the next time when he says he does not believe in God, "What God are you talking about?"

there's always room for hope in new year. problems and challenges are part of life and still we can turn them into opportunities
ReplyDeleteit's good to have a general checkup since health is important if we want to live life to the fullest. remember carpe diem, a phrase from a poem by Horace? seize the day --life is short, so cherish every moment in it and make it worthwhile
wow..tidak banyak lelaki yg saya kenal yg begitu menghargai istrinya spt kamu, betapa beruntungnya dia!
ReplyDeletetikno, selamat tahun baru..semoga kamu dan keluarga kamu mendapat semua yg terbaik di thn 2009..dan makasih sudah berkunjung ke blog saya!

dear Tikno,
ReplyDeleteIn the last new year celebration, I dont feel it is really great moment like previous new year. I just feel that it is just a changing a year to the new year. But the day and everything is almost same, nothing special. But perhaps we can do a better hope and resolutio to do the best things in next time.
New year is just new year and meant nothing if we do not do attempt / endeavour and only hoping for our wish. Our problem and condition wouldnt be changing if we do nothing, and do the same mistakes....
Hope God will be give you a better way for your hope...
tikno,
ReplyDeleteselamat tahun baru. thanks for dropping by and left a comment on my blog. wishing you a good and prosperous year ahead.
Tikno, thanks for responding to the comment. The point is that there should be a God to say that there is no God! Convoluted but logical!
ReplyDeleteHi Tikno,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year 2009! May all your dream come true :)
Again this post had so many lessons to learn.. opening our eyes to the reality. Let us all hope for the best this year 2009. hAPPY New YEAR TO EVERYONE!

ReplyDeleteI always thought that everyday is a new chance, opportunity is always there and is open for a privilege to those who wants to try. I make goals and hope not because it's new year but because of the new day everytime I woke up. Hope people would think it that way too. Waiting for a new year would be too late but today is a chance...let's do our best and grab what it offers. It is a blessing.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say whatever we think about what this year, we should always put our hope and trust in God ---our Provider, Our Healer, Our Comfort, Our Refuge, and Our Lord.
ReplyDeleteGood resolution.
ReplyDeleteits dreams that have brought many people to a higher level, keep up with the dreams
ReplyDeleteDear Tikno,
ReplyDeleteI wish you a happy and prosperous new year 2009. May God the Omnipotent divine bless you and your beloved family.May God realised your wishes and be a reality that you can enjoy good life.
Happy new year to you and family...
ReplyDeleteAbout the climate change ; just saw Al Gore films 'the inconvenience truth' and wondering if this world would end up like those films (forgot the title) when New York and other part of world covered with ice/snow ...

ReplyDeleteDear Liara Covert,
ReplyDeleteI only release (share) my own mind and hope my reader thinking by their own self for a little aware to the life rather than the excessive euphoria or fortune prediction.
All "existence" have its own reason and no exception to our life, except if we "die".
-----------------------------------
Dear Lemuel, thank you very much !
Nice blog.... Visit mine....
ReplyDeletehttp://www.generalpartin.org/
It's comforting to know that there are still bloggers that write blogs that are inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI welcomed 2009 with some apprehensions specially with the ongoing economic crisis. We may not know what 2009 brings, we may not know what the future holds, however, knowing who holds the future makes a great difference.
Have fun blogging.
Sorry for not answering your question, but I wanted to reserve it for my next post about prayer. I've been thinking about it but for now I just wanted to enjoy responding the tags and awards. You have one there too and I've seen you just visited my blog and know about it. So grab it for your self. Thanks...
ReplyDeleteDear Just Because,
ReplyDeleteThank you. Wishes this year will brings happiness and good health to you and family.
