should have or should´ve

I was listening this video and I thought that  It is a good example of grammar that the professor Atilano taught us about should have or should´ve . I got other videos with the same song, but this  sub video is more specific with the its  pronunciation, because other have should have when  he really says should´ve.

Lost Souls: The World of 

Lost Souls: The World of 
In the world wide there are many people that believe in Cults, based on the distortion of one are of human experiences even though there are many religious groups that help people cope with estresses and ambiguities. On the other hand I can say that a cult becomes dangerous when it isolates, when the members of this group or charismatic group have the ability to think independently and freely so is control By a dominant leader who claims to have secret knowledge and power. For instance cult membership is on the rise all over the world. One million Americans each year may be affected By cult as well. Finaly many membership try to leave group because the leader of group demands more goals that are more important than the indicuals'

Lost souls: The world of cults



I was in shock when I watched this video  because I did not  know there  were so many dangerous cults and much less that many people have their life destroyed by them. Cults leaders try to convince people telling them that they can live in a better world full of peace, but that new world could only be created just if this one is destroyed. So most of the cults leader that’s what they do, they try to make people with low self-esteem believe there is a better world and the only way to get there is if they destroy this one.  That guy from the video recruited like 500 people, and like 20 of them were scientists who developed weapons of mass destruction.

Feng Shui

I  don´t think  Feng Shui is  a superstition , so I agree that it can work.
I am sometime a disorganized person, because I don´t have enough time for organizing my bedroom , but when I organize   I feel different.
  I approve Feng Shui because some of its principles as the use  colors are truth, because there are  some color that you can´t use that can make us feel angry, weak or  relaxing. In my case,  I moved in  another bedroom two months ago  which my cousin used a dark orange color  for painting one part of it, and I asked her why she did that, because as soon I always get into the bedroom my I  feel my  eyes tired and it´s awful, for that reason, I´m  going to change the color soon and I´ll take some tip that could help.

Old Age

I think that elderly people need to receive a special treatment, because we have to honor them for their experience in the live. I love to hear elderly people's history when they were young, many of them have happy and sad anecdote about something that happened to them or around them.
I did not have the chance to meet my grandparents, but I grew up with my grand godmother and she was pretty cute and she loved me as her grandson; it comes to my mind a day that she decided to leave our house with me, I was like 5 or 7 years old I did not know what was going on around me, so she made her and my packages fortunately her granddaughter came on time and could stop her.

My concerned is that in our country the old age is not take in to consideration because there are many elderly people homeless that sleep in the street under a bridge, many times because they are lonely or lose a member of their family that could take care of them, so I think that life has not smiled at them. The government should implement a project that take care of those people, so they can have a beautiful and great old age.
Well!!! today we have to study hard.... Good luck guys

Feng Shui: anCient wisdom travels west

Feng Shui: ancient wisdom travels west:
I have two friends who have spoken to me about feng shui and its benefits a couple of times.  One of them built and decorated her house according to this system.  Once she called me and invited me to her new house just to show me how it was set up.  She took me for all the rooms explaining the position, the element, colors, what they control and how each thing works on or affects your life. She sounded so excited when se was talking to me about it and highly encouraged me to do the. same.  I like the idea, however I am not that into it.
My other friend went to my house and started to point out all the changes I am supposed to make in order to keep the energy flowing.  Maybe one day I will listen to them and I will try to see if it gives me good results.

A very short ideas but clear about Cults






Most people have their own vague idea of what constitutes a cult. But "cult" is one of those slippery, nebulous terms that are difficult to define. Strict definitions tend to be either too wide or too narrow. To complicate matters, what one considers a cult is often a matter of opinion. But, as Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart said about another ill-defined topic, people tend to think that they know it when they see it.
Sidestepping the controversy, sociologists don't like to use the pejorative term "cult." Instead, they like to talk about new religious movements (NRMs), which can be more widely defined. NRMs hold beliefs that are far outside of the mainstream. They are often characterized by making strict demands on the lifestyle of their members, such as giving up possessions, professions and contact with family to live in a commune with other members. Many have charismatic, authoritarian leaders whose followers believe have special prophetic powers. These leaders often prophesize about an imminent apocalypse.

For being honest, This the only topic that I read two weeks ago and I didn´t like it, because while I was looking for information,  I  watched a lot of horrible videos that are  contradictory  to what actions or Ideas  we must promote as love.  Those videos contains images in which we can see violence, dead people and murders in some cults, in addition to this each day the cults are growing that doesn´t mean that all cults are dangerous, but we have to care our family of those that really are, how can we do that we must to look for information about those leaders and their followers and keep out away from them.

Cult


  





About Cult.
              I´m the type of person who respects the different ideas of others, because somebody said: ¨Each Head is World ¨, but we as such  intelligent people, we must know which things are good for us or bad that could hurt us.



               W e can be victims of manipulation and do not know it , maybe it could our first time and we don´t imagine the intentions, but as soon we are not allowed to express ourselves , what we think and fell about some actions that are bad , because we are not stupid we have to be aware about it and it is impossible to sacrifice our families and friends, the people who really love us, by people who only want to controlling, deceive us because they need something that make them feel superior and important, because their lives
don´t have sense without those innocent people who think that a human like them is someone Divine because they don´t enough self-esteem for thinking how wrong they are. .

Toast to the tap: The Water

 The water is one of the most important mineral necessary for life to exist. We can find water in an area of water such as lakes, rivers, streams etc. Every human been need this clear colorless liquid.
The supply of water that comes to homes should be free of impurities to avoid diseases in our organism, in Dominican Republic many people prefer to boil the tap water for ten minutes before they drink it, human body at least need 8 glasses of water per day, for example a person who does not drink water could suffer from lung disease.
Water is not just important to drink, water also is used to clean our house and environment and wash the clothes we use, that is why many cities face serious water shortage because of drought.
Bottled water is not better than tap water, both should be inspected by the government, the purest water comes from natural springs.

OLDEST OLD



People can be considered old not only because of his/her chronological age but also because of their ways of behaving, the activities they do, etc.

Old age means wisdom, experience, but it’s seemed as synonym of ugliness, death, useless. 

Psychologically speaking age is definitely a state of mind, I know the case of a person that is almost 100 years old but has the joyful spirit and the activities of a 40 or 50 years old person, it’s incredible but he even reads without eyeglasses!!!.

It’s not easy adapting to the lost of almost all of your love ones (specially your generation) to have those remembrances and don’t stay depressed, but old people do so that means they are not psychologically weak and they have the strength to move on.

FENG SHUI AND HOW IT AFFECTS OUR STYLE OF LIFE

THIS INFORMATION WAS TAKEN FROM THE LITERARY WORK:
¨FENG SHUI ¨, A WAY TO UPGRADE OUR STYLE OF LIFE
Warning!


The author's biography is unknown because the page was detached and the book is very old too,  it was written in chinese and besides my friend who is from Hong Kong, translated for me into English, the other information I got it surfing on internet.The title is more or less the translation into English.

The introduction was written by me and I hope you find this work interesting and give your opinion about it.


Those who have been in contact with eastern cultures closely, have wide knowledge about Feng Shui. But what a about us, who live in the western end? For sure, most of us unknown this kind of art. But the question is, what is Feng Shui? And where did begin it? This is a simple question that can be difficult to answer. Feng Shui is an ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago in China. It is a complex body of knowledge that reveals how to balance the energies of any given space to assure health and good fortune for people inhabiting it.
Feng means wind and shui means water. In Chinese culture wind and water are associated with good health, thus good feng shui came to mean good fortune, while bad feng shui means bad luck, or misfortune. Feng shui is based on the Taoist vision and understanding of nature, particularly on the idea that the land is alive and filled with Chi, or energy.
The ancient Chinese believed that specific land's energy could either make or break the kingdom, so to speak. The theories of yin and yang, as well as the five feng shui elements, are some of the basic aspects of a feng shui analysis that come from Taoism.
The Yin Yang theory is one of the main theories of all ancient Chinese schools of thought. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), ancient martial arts, feng shui, the I Chin, and the whole Taoism cosmology are all based on the dynamics of Yin and Yang.
According to this theory, everything in our Universe is composed of two opposing, but deeply interconnected forces - the Yin (feminine) and the Yang (masculine).

The interaction of these two feng shui forces creates the essence of life around us. One cannot exist without the other, as in their seeming opposition, they deeply support and nourish each other.

The best representation of the harmonious interaction of the Yin and Yang forces is the Tai Chi symbol.

Expressed in feng shui colors, the Yin, feminine energy is black and the Yang, masculine energy is white

Energy-wise, Yin is soft, slow, relaxed, diffused, moist, passive and silent. Think of the rhythms and essence of feminine energy - the softness of water, the mystery of the Moon, the blackness of rich soil and the deep silence of the night.

The Yang force is expressed by a contrasting, opposite to Yin quality of energy. Think of the fiery directness of the Sun, the aggressive speed of racing cars, the rock solid surface of a mountain, the focused energy of a laser beam.



Yang is the fiery essence of the mid-day sun and Yin is the stillness and mystery of the night.

Because your home needs a balanced feng shui energy in order to support your well-being, it is important to understand the application of the Yin Yang theory on a practical, simple level.
  • YIN (passive energy) is the feng shui energy of relaxation that you need in your bedroom or in your feng shui spa bathroom. Yin is in the calm colors around you, the soft music, the sound of a water fountain and the soothing, relaxing art images.

  • YANG (active energy) is the feng shui energy characterized by strong, vibrant sounds and colors, bright lights, upward moving energy, etc. You want Yang energy in your home office, your kitchen and at a good dinner party with friends.
The Yin Yang energies cannot exist in isolation; they define each other, as one is the condition for the other's existence. Thus, a good feng shui home has to have a harmonious rhythm of both active and passive energies.

In the Western culture we tend to experience an imbalance of feng shui energies. We live in a constant flow of the very active, busy, Yang feng shui energy and often weak, or even missing Yin energy (the relaxed and nourishing one).

Creating a home that will reflect the feng shui Yin Yang balance is very important. There will always be one quality of energy that is stronger depending on the use of the space, but you need to represent both feng shui energies.

Here are examples of the play of Yin and Yang energies in a good feng shui home:
  • Yin Energy in Your Home. Your bedroom needs the relaxing Yin energy in order to heal you, so it is crucial to let go of all the dominant Yang feng shui elements in the bedroom, such as the TV, exercise equipment, or office items.

    While the Yin energy needs to be the predominant energy in your bedroom (think relaxation, cocooning, sensuality, sleep); you also need a slight presence of Yang (think red
    candles, arousing images, a light accent color to balance the deep colors, etc.) The same principle applies to your bathroom.

  • Yang Energy in Your Home. On the other hand, your family room, your living room, your home office, and your kitchen are definitely feng shui spaces that will benefit from a strong presence of Yang energy. Choose vibrant colors, lively music, and a variety of feng shui decor items to create an active quality of energy (family photos, books, games, etc.)

    Even though the Yin, or relaxing element, is not the dominant element here, you still need to have it for balance. Introduce deep
    colors, relaxed and comfortable seating, as well as some images with soothing Yin energy.
Having a harmonious balance of both Yin and Yang feng shui forces in your home will create the quality of energy you need in order to live a healthy and fulfilling life.
What is Taoism and what does it have to do with good feng shui? Let's look into the connection between these two philosophical schools of thought.

Taoism and feng shui share the same roots, as both disciplines evolved from the ancient wisdom of understanding the inter-connectedness of everything around us; the one Universal energy (Chi) as expressed in many forms.
That which cannot be named is the true study of Taoism, so no matter what words, terms or explanations we might use to define the Tao, we will still be far from its true essence.

The true Tao cannot be explained in words; in can only be felt (and understood) at a level much deeper than words.

Taoism is the wisdom of listening to the voice of nature, as well as the wisdom of knowing that humans can genuinely thrive only when aligned and in harmony with the rhythms of the Universe.

The founder of Taoism is considered to be Lao Tzu, a mystic sage who lived in the 6th century BC. He is the author of the Tao Te Ching, a widely known Taoist classic.

Tao (Dao) means the Way, or the Path.

"The way to what?", you might ask. Good question.

Taoism is about a way to experience your life in an effortless way; a way where you are active when the energy is flowing and slow down when the energy is slowing down. You wait when the energy is blocked and you make a major leap forward when the energy is moving forward.

You trust in the deep, mysterious wisdom of the Universe and allow it to carry you to your goal; you achieve what needs to be achieved without unnecessary strain. You get the support of powerful energies at the right time, and rest when the energy is not there for you. It is a way to accomplish everything that needs to be accomplished in an easy and effortless way.

Many celebriries from movies and business world, donnot make move without consulting an expert in Feng Shui. For instance, Donald Trump, a magnate in Real Estates doesnot make a move without listing fisrt the wise advices from an expert in Feng Shui.

Feng Shui helps us according to the people who follow this philosophical current, to arrange our lives, home, office, and becomes us in positive people to be successful and achive our goals.
