Boomerang Spirituality
Science may not recognize that prayers can effect change outside of the one praying. So, Jane may pray for healing and prosperity for Gabriel but it wont have effect on Gabriel. BUT science recognizes that it will have good effects on Jane, the one praying. Some call this the power of benevolence, some call it the Law of Attraction.
This is NOT new. If you go back to your history and Philosophy, you'll find hundreds of literatures about this.
If you believe that prayers of good intentions EFFECT change on other persons because there's a God who listens and has the power to give, then we're on the same boat. We're better than science and more blessed.
The harder you throw a boomerang away from you, the more it has the power to come back to you.
Now, we have more reasons to bless, forgive and love other people. As you read this, you may experience more blessings and prosperity in your life. Be happy. God bless you...

One strong case against Bob in the movie
The Incredibles, was saving a man who did not want to be saved.
Years ago, a friend maligned his mother in law for helping him get his family intact. My former co-ed embarrassed us for ‘saving’ her from her drug addict lover. My classmate in elementary school blamed me for getting in between and stopping his fight with another classmate.
Many times in our lives, we dreamed of being a hero or somebody useful. But sometimes along the way, we get burnt for trying to interfere in the natural process of someone's' survival. The truth is some people don't need our help and doing so may cause more damage than fix.
And so, in this case, we could help by not helping; care by not doing anything; listen by ignoring; love by letting someone be where they want to be...

Joy
When the world left me, she was there. She walked, cried, fought and stayed with me. Today it’s her birthday.
When Joy and I got married, we had nothing: only our love and our dreams. We did not have a grand wedding. Even some of our sponsors were not properly dressed. We had the most frugal reception spending a cost of a low end smartphone now.
Bruno
Bruno approached me to ask for a dime. I had nothing. I looked at him and pulled out my packed lunch and gave it to him. At first he hesitated and looked at me for several seconds to see if I was really serious to give my only food to him. He took the food and said, "Sir, what I can do for you. Thank you. Thank you. I will give my life to you. Tell me what to do."
Giorgio
Almost every host here in Italy would brag about their best wine. Some have hundreds of different bottles in their cellar with different brands and howling price tags. But only one has served the best wine so far: Giorgio.
Max
One of my first friends when I got to Italy, is Max. He is a dog. According to my host, Max is not theirs. It's their neighbor’s dog. He frequented there because his owner’s granny did not like him. But anyway, he would still go back there in spite of the abuses and sleep outside their house.
The Social Generation
The generation today is so lucky. They are so blessed with precious information, quotes and stories on how to handle life and relationships. And what's more fun is that they can think aloud in their posts.
