We're a band













"We're A Band"
Freak!
is what th world calls me
They don't understand
so they try to stop me
Hide!
I can't hide
so I stand up straight with Christ by my side
No no no no need to be tounge tied
so I say it loud and I say it with pride
Died
He died
Christ gave it all but He's coming back to life
Now I've got a reason to saying the things I say
and you know I've got a reason to be doing the things I do
Because soon very soon
God's coming back and I want to be playing
His tune
So, here we go
[CHORUS]
We're a band
We're a band
With guitars in our hands
we're crossing the land
We're a band
We're a band
For the Son of man
we will take a stand
You can make a plan
He'll be back again
We're a band
We're a band
We're a band
We're a band
Hey!
Please remove your hand from my mouth
it's been long enough so please do it now
uuh uuh uuh uuh uuh uuh uuh
you know you can't censor me
When wall flowers start to bloom
four more voices fill the room
Say, you better get out of the way
[REPEAT CHORUS]

This song talks about standing up for yourself and put the name of God high. All should listen to this song because it talks about real things and they need more people who believe and bring Him back. We all need to be proud of what He did for us and give back that favor. I'm proud of God because He never gives up on us no matter what we do or say. He is always by our side every day. When He comes back we should welcome him with a song and wide open hands.



Confucianism and The Analects


Confucianism is a Chinese ethical and philosophical system developed from the teachings of the philosopher Confucius. It focuses on human morality and wrong action. It is a complex system of moral, social, political, philosophical, and quasi-religious thought that has had tremendous influence on the culture and history of East Asia. The basic teachings of Confucianism stress the importance of education for moral development of the individual so that the state can be governed by moral virtue rather than by the use of laws. It also states the idea of respecting elders to live in harmony.

My opinion about Confucianism is that if we could learn here in Guatemala the teachi
ngs of that culture we would be in better conditions. I think Confucius had great teachings about life, it is important to follow his sayings because it creates harmony and respect in a community.
It would be nice to apply this knowledge to this country. He was right; human beings have the common sense to learn without being pushed by laws as we are used too. It would be nice to apply this knowledge to this country.

Panchatantra "Numskull and the rabbit"


This fable is about Numskull, a pride lion who believed he was the best king of the world. He ate all the animals who stepped in his way. He was very proud of himself and he thought he could do everything that he wanted. One day all the animals gathered together, and they planned that every day one animal will turn himself as a pray. Day by day passed and when it was the turn of the rabbit, he was late. The angry lion was mad. Numskull added that he will eat every one because not only he was late, but also he was way too small. The rabbit explained himself; he told the lion that in his way, he and other rabbits encountered another lion that claimed he was better. Numskull claimed that he was the only lion strong and brave enough. The rabbit added that the other lion wanted to defeat him, so Numskull followed the rabbit. It was a well which showed the reflection of Numskull. He thought the lion was in front of him and he dove in it and he died.

Reflections

We can see through the fable that you can find solutions for a problem, no matter how difficult it is, you can accomplish what you want. The rabbit was smart to create a solution where all the animals were benefitted, that's the way we have to find solutions, because he took the risk. He was not afraid of Numskull and he dares to defeat him, not knowing what could happen. It shows us that we can beat anything taking good decisions that would not hurt anyone.
