Tradition/Custom v.s. Reason and Principle

the day is nov 1 and its all saints day....hmmm i just wonder why they called it all saints day and people visits their departed love one in nov 1 and not in nov 2 which is all souls day?? oh well its not that my concern really now but still i wonder haha..(sorry im a bit naive if i dont really know it^-^)

hmmm nov 1 the day that many poeple visited their long gone love one....

in other country the way they celebrate this day is somewhat of different thing the way filipinos celebrate this day(at least as far as i know it..) and somewhat im proud the way we celebrate it^-^

but now as time goes by nov 1 as well as dec 25 is somewhat losing the way it should be done....

yes the world is turning modern now and it cant be help but if you will see there are just certain things that modernity wont do much good but worst....some say they are just getting practical and liberal but was it really?

nov 1 is the day we remember our departed love one but others see it as an opportunity to go party and alike and what they forgot what is the essence of this day(oh yes there are still that they dont forget it even though they go cheeerfully with another and its ok and it not bad.... but others are just seems dont know it....

People that go there(some) stayed long there but what are they really doing there? its like they are like those people that didn't go on the cementery and some if you compare it to other people that didn't go in the cementery is more good than those that go....

there are that talk and talk only others that make party and others dont mind and of course there are also that go there for the real pupose of of what they went there....

so what im a saying? oh well nothing hahaha^-^

they dont know what this day really is....its like those people that rally without really recognize or diecern the really thing why they are there... its not for how long you are there that you  Norshould be there for the whole day, yes it would be great if you are there for a long time but if you are there just for fun and alike and without really reminiscing the thought of the person departed it would be completey useless! nor how beautiful or flourishing or wealthy thing for the deceased person because its somewhat useless now, just a well or fine place would be enough bu what is impt is that they remain in your heart all this time that its not just for being showy of other people that you are so concern and love that person.... and especially its not how many people visited the person but the quality of the visiting person or how sincere that person is to visit the lifeless person. what really matter is the thought of remembering the departed love onem the sincerness of doing the act and that most of all is that they still remain and linger in our heart though we may not see them here in earth but still we can feel their presence(mumu~~ghost hahaha^-^) that we remember them not only during this day but all throughout the year and forevermore!

we should not forget and be affected by the growing trend that they are forgetting the reasons why we are going or have this kind of they, like they say evil thing is so very tempting that they seems to be very nice and wonderful thing to do that its becoming popular and we should know that its not that good if many people are doing this or that but what should we do good and what shold we be doing....

its nor very necessarily that you went in the cementery in this day but we learn by our heart or we keep in our mind and heart who are they in our life all throughout our remaining time here in earth (hahaha^-^)

its not bad that we make some goody during this time or any other extra thing that we do in this day but just bear in mind that this day is for our departed love one and so lets give the some respecting time in our mind and in our heart (though everyday they should be in our hearts!)

people are getting different now and even the deceased person they dont respect and that oh well its not within my topic now hahaha and so im going to end now this topic....

death is the last chapter of time, but the first chapter of eternity....
