Impact of Technology to Human's Spiritual Dimension

Image
By
The world is fast changing, and with these changes, people rely on technologies to address these changes. There are some issues that I think are worth discussing when it comes to the spiritual or theological dimensions of technology namely: birth control, Genetically-Modified Organisms (GMO), and cloning.
The population is increasing. What should we do? The primary solution that the government tapped is birth control. There are two types of birth control: the Natural and the Artificial. Either of the two is no doubt, technology. But it is not appropriate (the Artificial way, at least) when we are talking about religion or Theology. In our country, being a Catholic Nation, people are debating. Everyone has their opinion. Another solution offered was the use of Genetically-Modified Organisms which are engineered to address the limitations of the natural varieties. There is still the issue of the safety in consuming them but the issue regarding Theology is about the alteration of the genes of a certain living organism. The term “Act of God” was associated to condemn this technology. It is said that human is acting like God in creating another life form. Another technology that is synonymous to this is cloning. This is the most controversial technology on earth, I think. Though it is said that it is not yet tested to human, it is still the biggest issue.
Now, the impact of these technologies to human beings’ Spiritual dimension is the open-mindedness and how people would take a stand in facing an issue that involves the belief and faith or how would people accept or deny possibilities offered by the fast changing society.

Fitting Feat

Subtle hurting alone normal Smiling hidden hopeless pained Down sigh inside restless Surrendering quiting stopping fading No not nay never - This is a one-worded line poem, A minimalist approach in expressing one's feelings or emotions  in a form of poetry. Instead of using multiple or group of words in a line, it is written using a single word that expresses the author's thoughts and story. The single word in a line, however, compliments and support each other to tell a story and the thought of the poem.

ANG CHARMING NA KUTING AT ANG GWAPONG TUTA

By
               Pumailanlang bigla ang isang charming na kuting mula sa itaas ng bubong. Hinahanap niya ang kanyang paboritong suklay. Sa kanyang paghahanap ay nakakita sya ng isang spaceship, isang pink na spaceship na my polka dots sa ilalim ng suklay. Sa kanyang pagkamangha, biglang iniluwal ng kadiliman ang isang tuta. Isang tuta na tila Hollywood superstar sa kanyang kumikinanang na kagwapuhan. Biglang nawalan ng malay ang pusa sa kanyang nakita.  Nang dahil dito ay lumapit ang GWAPONG tuta  at tinangka syang gisingin subalit laking gulat nya ng biglang nangisay ang kuting. Ang CHARMING na kuting pala’y masyadong humanga sa angking kayabangan ng GWAPONG tuta at hindi na nya nakayanan sa sobrang lakas kaya sya nangisay. Nagmamadaling tumakbo palayo ang GWAPONG tuta dahil alam nya na sa oras na magising ang echoserang kuting ay tuluyan itong mabibighani sa kanya. Agad nalaman ng kuting ang nasa isip ng  PALIKERONG  TUTA ...

the worth of the worthless

By
Being valued by a person we value the most is a valuable part in a person's existence. We simply found our purposes, wants, goals ... worth. It's just that we as human needs to be wanted by another person. With the things we have and the things we don't. Are we worthy? Nobody is perfect, but we need these imperfections to stay on the ground. Everybody has the ego. The confidence that is beyond the right amount despite our shortcomings. We just have to take some reflections and deep self scrutiny to lessen the amount of over-pouring self-centeredness.  I, personally, admit that there are times that I look at myself as the top gunner, well in fact I was just a poor boastful little boy who needs the attention of the world. But there are also the moments that I feel alone, sad, and stressed that I almost dehydrate myself due to crying (just exaggerating). Who can tell that we deserve the happiness and fulfillment that we have now? Are we worthy of the things that other...
