So.. when I was planning and doing research for my wedding, the idea of eco-friendly tableware, utnesils and napkins came across my mind. It then stays there.. not going anywhere..
I hate to use (guest count x 2) number of plastic/paper plates and (guest count) number of oil-base plastic forks. Paper.. is still fine, but plastic.. it is real BAD.
However, in our current $$ situation, going green seems to be a luxury.
跟媽的一場辯論/爭吵，再次回憶起當年那人對我的評語：自以為是。
自以為是，一聽就是一個負面評價。當年的我，一聽了這個評價就氣上心頭，拂抽離場，未有好好去反省。
今天的我跟當年不同了。不同的不是我不再自以為是，而是不再氣忿。
今天的我跟當年不同的是︰我接受我是自以為是的人。
我自以為是，在於我堅持我的價值觀和理想。有時別人會不認同我的價值觀或理想。當別人不認同，但我認為對時，我堅持，就被認為自以為是。
事實上，我為我自以為是的性格而自豪。
我不是不會改變立場，而是要改變我的立場，必須要把我說服。強權哭叫要脅也不成﹐更會引致反效果。
這一番言論，很是反映我自以為是的性格吧！
你憧得欣賞嗎？
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son[b] into the world that we might live through him. 10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for[c] our sins. 11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
13We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. 16And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 17In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. 18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19We love because he first loved us. 20If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 21And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
1 John 4:7-21 (NIV)
36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:36-40 (NIV)
