Worldly materialism deceives us. It shows us that the only way to real happiness, success, and fulfillment is to have everything we want go our way.

A high-paying job, an extravagant house, a new car, and the grandest family holiday seduce us into thinking that they are the most important aspects of life.

In truth, however, even if we acquire and experience all of these temporary things, our lives would still feel empty and incomplete.

The Art of Silence

Silence is an art, because not everyone can choose to be quiet without difficulty.

It requires a virtue of patience.

I don’t know since when I became silent. I’m not the quiet type in highschool and in college. I can say that I’ve become a completely different person as an adult. I became comfortable with my own silence, I found peace in solitude.

Set Aside a Place and Time

If you could call for something in the midst of this loud, busy, and shaky world that we live in, what is it?

For me, I’d only need the inner peace and quiet and security that only comes from the presence of God.

NIGHT THOUGHTS

by Raymund Tamayo

Because of you, the quiet night sings a

sweet melody of broken sadness.

I search for your face, but no one

else had your rhythm, your light,

nobody had your tiny crooked feet.
