Tonight Bruno talked about the character of person, and some proverbs. It 's better to be in mourning ceremony than in wedding party because you will have a quiter time to rethink about something than usually neglected when you are happy. It's good to have ending than begining. During the reading of the Bible, the word "Onlooker" was pronounced not correctly. the other word "balsphemy" means a very strong statement againt God. We rarely use this word for a normal humnan being. In Jewish religion, the Bile, only consisting of the old Testament, is called Torah. Traditions are sometimes more important than truth. This is human nature to believe the way always been. Like in the ancient time, people used to beleve that the earth is flat because if the earth is round like a ball, how can the ship sailed in the ocean not flipped over. scum usually means a group of bad or low-social position people. Normal human being is not perfect, short of perfect standard which Jesus had. The attitude to it is to admit that we are imperfect. There is another human nature that people tend to be afraid of being caught by doing something not good but not be afraid of doing it. Under some circumstance, the only one know that you have done that is yourself and God. It's better to bring it open and confess that you have did something wrong than hide it in the dark. Because it will make yourself not happy consciously though you pretend to be happy from outlooking. If you confess and bring it open, you will shred light to it, make yourself lighter and happier. When talk about lying, it is hard to tell the same lies after a long time because you may forgot what you told when you had lied a lot. But you can always remember the truth whether it is after a long time or in short time. Selfish is another human nature that people tended to put himself in the first place and put others in the second place, but we can trying to change it because once you learned to give something to others as well as receving, you will find that you are in a very good mood. When there are some disagreement/difference among people, it is always easier to say sorry than to argue about it which takes time, energy and probably turn into worse conditions.
