Messages from golden wedding anniversary

The wedding anniversary was historically derived from Roman Empire tradition, where a husband crown his wife with a silver wreath on their twenty-fifth anniversary, and a gold wreath on their fiftieth anniversary. In the present, generally, it is called the silver wedding anniversary for 25th years of marriage and the golden wedding anniversary for 50th years of marriage. Many people dream of their wedding will be lasting, but many of them also fail.

For those of you who dream of it, then there is a philosophical message from a modest golden wedding anniversary, a piece of dialog between MC (Master of Ceremonies) and the bride, as follows:

MC: (jokingly) "What is the most annoying thing from your husband?"
Bride: "As many as the stars in the sky, unable to count them."
MC: (shocked) "Well, but your husband's kindness is also abundant, right?"
Bride: "A little, like the sun in the sky."
MC: (curious) "Then how could you live with him for half a century and still love each other?"
Bride: "Because once the sun rises, all the stars in the sky become invisible."
MC: "Amazing!" (and standing applause from invited guests)"

Husband and wife relationship.
That's the message. We let you conclude it.

      Well.. why do you need my prayer? :D

      For me marriage is an endless journey, full of adventure. So it must be enjoyed.

      Don't think too much about whether or not you will reach silver or gold or diamond anniversary. A number is just a number. It doesn't show anything.

      We don't get married because we want to make a record. If we are happy, then it is already an achievement, a huge one.

      "Why?" As a believer I think your prayer is important, don't you?
      Btw, I like your last sentence above, mate.

    I noticed that some of your posts are labeled "philosophy". Are you a philosofer?

Condemns the Koran burning plan

Terry Jones, a pastor who leads a tiny church called "The Dove World Outreach Center" in Gainesville, Florida, U.S. plans to burn copies of Koran on September 11, 2010, as reported on New York Times with the title: A Bonfire in Danger of Spreading . The reason of this action is to commemorate the event of terrorist attacks on 9/11. Gosh, for me it's really a crazy plan. I warn you that your plan, if it really happened, will spreading the new tensions around the world and very possibly this event (burns the Quran) could be used by extremists as a justification to act further. I also condemn the creator of a Facebook page titled " International Burn A Koran Day " and urge the owner of Facebook to aware and immediately remove such page because the contents of this page just showing emotional debate, hatred and also stupid. Any negative actions will produce another negative reactions as opposed to you . If we really want to give a small contribution for peace and ha...

Aware or just a dream

Dear readers, if you are a regular visitor of this blog, perhaps you still remember my post titled " If One Why Different " (posted on 1 September 2008). In that post, I wrote about how I heard badly debate of religions among my friends when we gathered together, that is, each person seeks to maintain his own opinion namely his religion is the most relevant in this century. Within that post you may also read my thoughts as the response to them, as well as readers comment, and I would like to rewrite my thoughts as below: Humans have existed far before any religions emerge on this earth. The universe has existed far before the humans and religions. And... God, only one God, has existed far before the universe, humans, and any religions. Who is the owner of my soul, your soul and the soul of all creatures in this world? Only one or many? If only one, then why must we be different. Please readers do not feel confused with the question "why we must different" because ...
