Genesis

Welcome.

This blog has been created as a private zone within cyberspace to express myself. Only selected readers will be given permission to view this blog.

I've decided to establish this blog to be a record of the many events of my life, especially the profound ones. Reading through this blog would be a journey into my life, thoughts, emotions, dilemmas, soul and everything else that constitutes the innermost foundations of my being. The following posts would be memoirs of my life. The writings in this blog will peel off the many layers of my being to expose the true person that I am. It will be a voyage through the story of my life.

The creation of this blog comes at a time of darkness in my life. Tribulations, dilemmas, troubles and woes abound at this time.

And thus, it explains the name of the blog - Spes, which is Latin for hope.

In times of darkness, we must not cease to hope, for when the dark clouds retreat, the Sun will once again rise. The dark clouds will depart, but the Sun is there to stay. The night will be over, and the Sun will arise upon the dawn of a new day.

We must hope.

We must believe.

We must not fear.

We must not fear to open our doors to Christ. We must not fear to seek the Truth. We must not fear to love, for when everything in life falls apart, it is only Love that is there to stay, and apart from Love, we'll be dragged into the unending vortex of darkness.

Above all, we must not fear to love, for love conquers and overcomes all. By loving, we dare to hope.

We must love selflessly, even if it comes at the price of our lives. And I assure you, one way or another, the price of our lives must be inevitably paid when we authentically love selflessly.

Even in the face of suffering, we must love. It is only by loving that we can confront and stand up to the face of suffering. It is only by suffering that we are able not only to prove, but genuinely love selflessly.

Hope is not dead.

Better still, hope CANNOT die.

We have to love.

Be not afraid. Do not fear.
