Speaking of Love

“When human love was invented,” says Dr. Buscaglia, “it didn’t come with an instruction manual” But, in Speaking of Love, Dr. Buscaglia takes a step towards writing one himself. Through warm, revealing stories, the best-selling author explores the idea of love in its many meanings. His passionate speaking style is so compelling, it arouses people to try and nurture more love in their lives. Leo teaches you to open up in a none threatening way to improve the quality of your life and relationships.

In Speaking of Love, Leo Buscaglia expresses again antidotes and true stories about people he's been in contact with or situations that he has personally been in. His passion for bringing his point across to the individuals in the audience is phenomenal. While there's really nothing on this video that could be construed as special effects or even props, that makes no difference because it is the passion of his voice and the gleam in his eyes that captivates an audience.

What has always amazed me in all of Dr. Buscaglia's video presentations is the way that he can totally capture an audience. I would say that it would be a preacher in church. However, in Dr. Buscaglia's presentation of Speaking of Love, you could hear a pin drop through most of the lecture except at key times where Leo makes a point to present himself in such a way to prove a point through the gift of laughter.

However, I do believe that there is a great message that each one of us could really take with us every moment of our lives contained within this wonderful video by Dr. Leo Buscaglia called Speaking of Love. Dr. Leo Buscaglia considers the idea of love in its many meanings. This passionate speaker raises a host of provocative questions and challenges his listeners to better express their most important feelings and emotions.

LIFE OF A SCAVENGER

Hope is the sustenance of life. As the saying goes, “I can lose my job, lose my family, lose my house, lose my way in life altogether, but I cannot and I will not lose hope”. Hope keeps us going, it keeps us from giving up.

As I read the story the second time around, I was so touched by those children who never gave up and lose hope. Even in their darkest hour, all they know is that they love each other. They were very family-oriented little ones in the sense that regardless of their age and knowledge about the issues in this world, they always have in their minds that they will never lose the love and hope that make them stronger in every situation.

Obstacles and trials will never be a hindrance that we will never continue our studies. Either way, if we are just very optimistic and we believe that our God is with us, the word “success” will next in line.

Hope exists without cause or reason, or justification. It eases our pain, it makes us feel better. It's the essence of life- though we lose every other thing, if we have hope, we know we will go on.

As the story ended, I really felt compassion on the side of the 5-year-old boy. The lesson I learned about the story is that compassion contains no pity because it does not judge one circumstance of life as better or as worse than the next. For it comes from a place in which all things are from God's hand, presented to us to be lived to its completion.

The S Word

Bench Payla Snippets , 2 Comments

It is based on reality (Realism) that today's youth were engaging in premarital sex (sexual intercourse out of marriage).

Some questions that surface with regards to sex education is this- Does sex education in school encourage a teenager to have sex? Well, it may or it may not. It depends largely on the upbringing and environment of the student.

If basic knowledge about the topic is being taught at home by parents, there's a small chance that teens would be encouraged to engage in early sex because they're aware of its consequences. Since they were already familiar with the different sexual terms at home, the moment they hear it outside their place or in school, it'll be an ordinary thing and does not awaken any curiosity within them.
