You plan to move to the Philippines? Wollen Sie auf den Philippinen leben?

There are REALLY TONS of websites telling us how, why, maybe why not and when you'll be able to move to the Philippines. I only love to tell and explain some things "between the lines". Enjoy reading, be informed, have fun and be entertained too!

Ja, es gibt tonnenweise Webseiten, die Ihnen sagen wie, warum, vielleicht warum nicht und wann Sie am besten auf die Philippinen auswandern könnten. Ich möchte Ihnen in Zukunft "zwischen den Zeilen" einige zusätzlichen Dinge berichten und erzählen. Viel Spass beim Lesen und Gute Unterhaltung!

Moral and Human Values

Moral and human values

OPINION In My OpinioNIN MY OPINION
Klaus Doring
In these eventful times with shouting for peace all around the globe but also with “lust after war”, with corrupt politicians and terrorism attacks against innocents and with cries for justice, it is very easy to forget moral and human values. People, don’t let this happen!
Allow me to ask you a question: “What makes a modern person?” Techno-logy and knowledge for sure? If not, we couldn’t operate with our computers or other things. Skills, of course, belong to it. But more important are  attitudes and values, and our readiness for new ways of reacting, feeling and looking for things.
I am afraid that we have to look first into ourselves. Everybody of us can notice our group feeling besides terrible egoism many times. We care so much for the good of our own families and ourselves by making great sacrifices even for a long time. Charity starts and ends mostly at home. Why are we not able to develop fidelity that expands into a wider field of action so that we can go beyond the limits of our unsocial system and reach to others around us?
We easily blame our government. This happens in mostly every country worldwide. But don’t we only get the government that we deserve? Misuse, improper treatment, rude language and behavior, corruption – these are all reflections of ourselves. The mistake, the injustice, the wrong sense of values, and the lack of priority through arrogance and ignorance are daily with us and simply our own.
A nation might have been rich with abundant blessings; it is only unfortunate that these blessings could not made useful because of some flaws in the entire system. Why do we have collapsing economies or huge foreign and national debts? Be-cause human values are not put into place. It’s easier to fill own pockets then to care for a neighbor. Aren’t we paid for the service  we rendered that we resort to other unlawful and shameful activities? Are we really prioritizing material things over and above spiritual satisfaction?
We are becoming weaker and weaker when we lack punctuality, honesty, and task responsibility. We have to improve as human persons with national pride, discipline, and consistency, because skills and knowledge or technology are not enough. We have to avoid too much subjective comments, sensitivity and being fancy and conceited of ourselves. If a nation like the Philippines is still rich of natural resources and intelligent, highly creative people, these people should prevent criticism from know-it-all’s such as insufficiency, imbalance, or inequality.
Moral and human values can only grow if we are willing to undergo to renewal of will, mind and heart. Let us give moral and human values a try. It could do great things to alleviate the economic life, to save us all from imminent spiritual degradation and to allow us to live in peace and harmony.
