Early this year, there were floodings, cyclone-hurricanes, heatwaves, droughts, fires, and several earthquakes. Then came severe violent wars, which shocked everyone and angered them. There is a never-ending cycle of bad timing, bad news, bad weather and destructive disasters.
It is nearly Christmas time/holiday season/Hanukkah – Festival of Lights. And the Prophet’s Ascension and the Prophet Muhammad’s Birthday.
“A philosophy of life is defined as having, at a minimum, two components: a metaphysics and an ethics. A metaphysics is an account of how the world hangs together. An ethics is an account of how we should live in the world.”
Everyone will celebrate their own belief and custom holidays around the world, but not everyone will celebrate due to hardship, surviving victims of the wars, having no family to share, and even having no friends. They live in urban and rural countries, while others live in civilised countries.
Families come together, or families within other families live apart in the world, but what about families who lost their loved ones during the violent and hardship ongoing wars. There are more orphan children/teenagers and disabled children/teenagers than before due to endless wars and climate change – agriculture, crops, and water. There is no celebration for these children/teenagers due to their loss of parents and families.
Yes, many countries, such as the environment, are changing due to the people and machinery, such as making shifts, building infrastructure for more people to live in, and raining down many weapons to militate terrorists. Global warming is one of the highest changing patterns every year. People can be selfish, greedy for their desires, want to emulate terrorists or criminals and refuse to repent for other people’s lives.
Between fifty and fifty per cent of disabled people, D/deaf and D/deaf with disabilities are more or less better with financial, employment, poverty, hardships, unable to remove the barriers that prevent their access, health issues and living conditions in their homes.
We have different opinions of life here, away from the city, where we are in the rural. We are fine and happy to have lived here for nearly ten years where there were several issues, such as a car accident that killed a mother and a young daughter less than three months old close to our property, not much water left inside the water tank due to leaking without warning, burst water from the water meter. We keep learning by doing things in our daily lives, and our personal values are courage, learning, and humility.
Our gardens have expanded since we moved here; more native birds draw to our trees, shrubs and flowering plants for food, except for so many rabbits enjoying and basking in the sunshine here. Grow many vegetables and fruits for our needs food and allow me to share/give away to the Food Banks and a couple Deaf people with disabilities. I support/assist them each week. We are here to make good things happen for us and the community where I work as the purpose in life. The personal values are relationships, empathy and compassion.
How can other people learn and tell them there are no failures but learn results from them?
“Tenacity is behind this philosophy; you keep going no matter what happens to you.
No matter how many less-than-desirable results you get, you keep moving toward your goal and taking action to get closer to it.
You know that every so-called failure is just a result you can learn from, and you view setbacks with a growth mindset to seek out the lesson.
You look at what went wrong or what you can do to get a better result next time. And you try again.
You don’t accept failure because every result that exceeds your hopes teaches you more than you might expect. Every faltering step is still a step.”
When someone visits me and asks for advice, seeks solutions, or requests suggestions, I give them my best recommendation by teaching them to understand where they have gone or gone in the wrong direction of a learning curve. The personal values are resilience, tenacity and courage.
Let’s hope everything will be okay when people and people with disabilities learn something from dangers and climate change and make a ceasefire happen to stop the war and start rebuilding again, but we don’t know if it will be successful or if it will struggle in the new year 2024.
We need the answer to make it happen and are still determining what the future will look like.
