A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH
by Jorge D. Lomboy
Wed 16th May 2012
 


 For those who read the Bible, this rings a bell.  Battles can be fought, wars can be won but without peace all triumphs are in vain.  We should wage war not to win war but to win peace.  Today the real test of triumph is not the capacity to make war but the capacity to make peace.  We may call for peace as loudly as we can but where there is no brotherhood there can be no peace.  We can't separate peace from justice because no man can be at peace unless there is justice.  We can't continue to treat people unjustly and expect no retaliation.  If every man, woman and child in the world were treated fairly and justly, there would be no need for lawyers, no need for courts and no need for jails.  Rampant lawlessness brought forth by inequities in society reaffirms the sterling truth that justice is the greatest interest of man on this planet.

A LEGACY OF SERVICE
by Jorge D. Lomboy
Tue 1st May 2012
 
We cannot sell what we don't own and we cannot give what we do not have.  We cannot dispose what we don't possess and we cannot pass on what we don't hold.  The things we own are ours to enjoy and pass on and our talents are the special gifts of our niche and forte.  No one loses his talent nor diminishes the light of his candle by lighting a thousand unlit candles.  We all have different gifts of talent.  Athletes don't play the same sports and the same games.  Musicians don't play the same instruments and the same music.  Students don't read the same books and are not enrolled in the same courses of study.  Professionals don't have the same disciplines and the same expertise.  Life is a wonderland of miscellaneous talents.

BRIDGES AND WALLS
by Jorge D. Lomboy
Sun 15th April 2012
 
I don't have the slightest inclination to bore you concerning a subject you know more about than myself.  We all know what bridges and walls are made of, where they are located and their uses.  Bridges and walls are a figure of speech for they have a meaning entirely different from their literary connotation.  As a figure of speech, a bridge is more than just a structure spanning and providing passage over a waterway, railway or other obstacle.  It...

PEOPLE WANT SOLUTIONS
by Jorge D. Lomboy
Sun 1st April 2012
 
There should be no curves.  Let's get this straight to the point instead of going around in circles.  Information is everywhere, news is everywhere and talk is everywhere.  There is too much information, too much news and too much talk.  We have more troubles with information, we have more confusion with news and we have more problems with talk.  Families are in trouble, communities are in bad shape and the entire nation is underwater.  Much of the information...

by Jorge D. Lomboy
Wed 29th February 2012
 
We are here to add what we can do in life, not to get what we can from it.  You have a role to play and I have a role to play.  There are things you have that I don't have and vice-versa.  There are things you know that I don't...

MIGHT IS RIGHT
by Jorge D. Lomboy
Thu 16th February 2012
 
It doesn't sound right but I think it's the truth.  We live in a world that is full of trouble.  There is trouble everywhere, there is violence everywhere, there is cheating and killing everywhere.  All these are compounded by economic, social and political chaos.  We are bombarded by casualty...
