warmth in the coldness of life…
On of those lunch times, me and some friends were talking about blessings. I mentioned that I sometimes get irked listening to other people talking about ‘blessings’. It seems that they are connecting ‘blessings’ to monetary gain they are receiving or equate them always to money received.
In an article, premonition is defined as a foreknowledge of an event that has not yet happened. The article discusses about us being able to tell what is going to happen but has not happened yet, and that there are a lot of possibilities being broadcasted all the time. Ms. Pavlina also said these are being brought to us by our spirit guides, or by a ‘time stream’.
I have encountered a lot of mention about premonition when death falls to a person. During wakes, people will talk about ‘predictions’ mentioned by the dead person days before his or her death. Take for example, Papsie’s cousin, Nilo, who made mention of words to his friend like “Huwag ka muna mamatay, ako muna mauuna.(Don’t die yet, I have to die first.)“ He died days after.
I wondered if cousin Nilo knew about his impending death. Did he utter those words unknowingly? Because if he did know about it, he could have done something about it, and did everything to avoid his own death knowing his kids are still young and dependent on him.
Being obvious that he was not aware of the implications of his own words, can we call it premonition then?
During lunch again at the company’s canteen, the topic was about the Canadian psycho whose victim’s head was already found. The victim was a Chinese national.
I told my buddies that even here in the Philippines, the number of individuals with mental illnesses are growing. C* mentioned that the government has to give more attention to the mental health of the Filipinos other than the physical health. Mental health, according to him, influences the physical health of a person. To that I agree.
The discussion shifted to the early symptoms of depression. It continued when C* mentioned one symptom when a person cries alone. F* interjected that she was crying alone when she was in high school. I asked C* if he also cried alone and he replied that he didn’t but instead laughed alone.
Now, the question is, I continued, who is more mentally ill – a person that cries or laughs alone? C* promptly answered it is the person who cries alone to which F* disagreed. 😀
R* butted in and said that the person who cries alone has a lot of unhappy moments. F* contradicted saying that it is the one who laughs alone that has sad memories because he or she is laughing at misfortunes while the one who cries alone remembers the beautiful memories and regrets that they had slipped away. 😀
Now, what do you think of this? Do you cry or laugh alone, and why?
As for me, I laugh alone more when I remember the funny things in this life. It is my way of laughing at my own mistakes that help me thrive, I guess.
I laughed at an article with a suggestion to the readers that to have a healthy life, you have to sleep apart from your husband, or from your wife. It sounded ridiculous to me when I read the first few lines. But as I go along, maybe the doctor has a point.
In the article, it was suggested that husbands and wives, or partners, should not sleep together. Dr. Neil Stanley of Britain said that sleeping should be like eating and exercising properly. But in the situation of a husband and a wife where they sleep together, it is truly detrimental to the health of both, he said. Different kinds of illnesses can be acquired like depression, heart ailment, stroke, lung disease, and others.
How can sleeping together with your partner be detrimental to your health? According to Dr. Stanley’s observations, when the sleep cycle is broken up, or simply when sleep is interrupted, chances are you do not get enough sleep that will cause restlessness and irritation the following day. What causes interruption then? It is when your partner moves or snores then sleep is broken up.
I beg to disagree.
I believe that it is more what the state of the mind is that contributes to good sleep. When one is physically and mentally stable, getting a good night sleep is easy even with your husband or your wife snoring or moving a lot during sleep. There are exemptions though when one snores very loud as if pushing a big dresser, then that could definitely ruin your good night sleep.
The tremendous amount of worries and uneasiness could also contribute. Peace of mind helps in getting a wonderful night sleep. In some cases, even with your husband or your partner not moving a lot, or not snoring, you will be awakened with a bad dream that concerns a particular problem that has been bugging you for days.
I could not imagine sleeping at night without Papsie by my side. I know it is a matter of getting used to the situation but truly, I could not imagine, especially when after special nights, you are tranquilized to a beautiful sleep because of the backbreaking performances. That I guarantee will give you a sound sleep.
