One time, my brother and I were having a conversation. He told me that he accompanied his friend in the hospital. They were in a large room where it was filled with cancer patients who were undergoing chemotherapy. His friend, who’s in a stage 3 cancer, met a certain person
Never wish harm to anyone. Remember, our minds have the power to create reality. When you entertain a thought, imagining a certain incident happening to someone, there’s a possibility it might come true especially if the thought is consistent.

One time, I met a surgeon. His impression to me is cordial and he seems to be an honest and compassionate doctor who’s clearly an expert in his field. We talked about appendicitis. He said that the key of avoiding this condition is chewing the food well. Any food which
I remember when my son was out of the hospital and got fully recovered, it was one of the happiest days in my life. I also remember when I thought I was about to die due to severe stomach pain, I relentlessly and loudly called the name of God to
Many years ago, I met a group of atheists and agnostics. While listening to their arguments about God, I observed that their viewpoints and reasoning made a lot of sense. I didn’t know what was going on with their lives if they live with good morals and integrity. But I
