It's been a whirlwind few days in my life and of course my moods have experienced it's ups and downs. But i still stand by my policy of trying to shut myself up from saying hurtful things when i'm upset. I realised that it's kinda been ingrained in me since i was young. My family is kinda a destructive one. Since young, almost everyone in my family has had a hot temper and there would always be shoutings, use of vulgarities etc. I believe that one's character is moulded from his environment and of course soon i also grew up to be one that has a short temper as well as a fiery one. Destructive in the sense that i'd say hurtful things to sort of get back at a person consciously and unconsciously. Of course at times i'd feel remourseful on hindsight but like wad i said previously, what's done cannot be undone.
My sisters like me are prone to short and fiery tempers. So i have a huo3 la4 la4 family man. My father is usually the calmest and most reasoning of the whole lot. He'd seldom get angry, unless he's really hungry and tired, afterall a hungry man is an angry man rite? But once my father loses his temper, there'll be mayhem at home, it'll be sth like parliament in hong kong man without the use of chairs and violence lar, but anger and shoutings will be everywhere.
It is a vicious cycle. Passing from 1 generation to another generation. I juz hope that all you friends of mine out there will help me. Of course without God it'll be impossible too. So for christian friends, pray for me. For non-christian friends, pray for me also! haha
Anywae since the Da vinci code movie is released, i'll juz like to clarify some doubts and some false parts as mentioned in the novel.
Priory of Sion.
The book says that a French king named Godefroi started the Priory od Sion in 1099 after he conqued Jerusalem. Apparently he was afraid the secret of the Holy Grail would be lost forever when he died and so he started it, to protect the secret and pass it on from generation to generation. And the proof of the Priory's existence was discovered in Paris's Bibliotheque Nationale that is later called Les Dossiers Secrets.
Well, the Priory of Sion was a real organisation, but it turned out to be a fraud. A historian Paul Maier says Les Dossiers Secrets were planted in the Bibliotheque Nationale by Pierre Plantard. One of his co-conspirators admitted to helping him fabricate the documents, including the genealogical tables and lists of Priory's grand masters- Newton, Botticello, Leonardo etc. And the hoax was exposed in the nineties in a BBC documentary and plantard turned out to have a criminal record for fraud while the REAL Priory of Sion is a little social group founded just half a century ago.
One for now. If you guys got any question, i'll try my best to answer. By the way the above is gotten from Josh McDowell's book titled 'A quest for answers: the Da Vinci Code'. Quite cheap, i got it for $2.10. And it kinda answers a few questions. Both of facts like the no. of glass panels on Louvre museum, to renaissance questions on the paintings, to spiritual questions pertaining to Christianity and history.
I guess the only reason why that book became such a mix between fact and fiction because our good friend Dan used a historian called Leigh Teabing to talk about Christ and history making it sound very real. And not to forget the fact page that claimed "All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this noval are accurate."
If you all do not believe anything Josh McDowell says, u could look it up. He was a formal staunch skeptic of the bible and of religion and of Jesus Christ. In trying to respond to his peer's challenge, he worked for months, assembling data and weighing evidence. He left the university he was attending and travelled to europe to study and gather research to prove that there was no interllectual grounds for believing in Jesus Christ. For months he tried to refute the overwhelming evidence gathered that Jesus Christ was God's son. At last he realised that he was being interllectually dishonest and so decided to test if God is true by becoming a christian and has never turned away since.
Feel free to ask any questions
