Human Virtues.

HUMAN VIRTUES

Virtues are dispositions to perform good acts. Virtues orienting us to human perfection are acquired by repeated acts, and are called human or “natural” virtues. They are distinct from theological virtues, which orient us beyond human perfection to God himself and are infused by God.

In creating human persons, God wills for them a perfection or goodness appropriate to their nature. So, God wills that human beings be healthy, intelligent, morally good, perfected by community, and so on. We are called to cooperate with God’s plan, and so part of our vocation is to work energetically for human goods, that is, the perfection of human life and community (cf. Vatican Council II, Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et Spes, 34).

But God has also freely chosen to share with us more than a human perfection. He has freely chosen to invite us to share his own interior divine life. When we were conceived by our human parents, we became children of human beings and received a human nature; when we were baptized, we became children of God and received sanctifying grace, which is a participation in the divine nature. Thus God has called us not only to human perfection but, what is clearly beyond our ability to comprehend, also to a share in his own interior divine life.

 Hence there are two different kinds of virtues: human or natural virtues and theological virtues. Our share in divine life, also called grace, does not negate human nature; so, specifically human perfections are not superfluous in God’s kingdom. Dispositions to human actions that perfect us as human are human virtues; dispositions to communion with God in his own life are the theological virtues. Human virtues include prudence, justice, temperance, fortitude, and others. Prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance traditionally are called “cardinal” (or “moral”) virtues; they are particularly important, since they are sources of other virtues and the foundations of morally good acts. The theological virtues are faith, hope, and charity.

It is a poor idea to lie to yourself.

It is bad idea to lie to yourself! because those lies don't take us nowhere than down.
we maybe think that, telling lies, will help us to get what we want but that is not true.

We should always think  that the truth is the easier way to deal  with our life.

It was such a special day! ''19/04/2012

Gabonese Students!

We made it!
I remember when I have first landed in this country ''South Africa''! I couldn't say anything in english! Coming from french country, things were very very difficult for me!

And I remember my first days at University! My first presentation in Media Studies! '' Who I am!!!''

We mad it!

  I remember my first assignment in English, when my lecturer told me that, I don't write in English. It must be an other language but not English!!!

 

But the best thing was that, I had never lost faith in me because I knew what I wanted. I used to cry some days, but I had never thought to quit!

I come so far ! but I still have a long way to go!

Special day for: Jeff,Thandi, and Parly!

  I deserve to smile and say,'' I MAD IT''

The Sound of One Hand Clapping.

We can't hear a sound of one hand clapping!

But, Richard Flanagan, in his book ''The Sound of One Hand Clapping'' tries to explain how relationships can be difficult!

''But in many ways this is what makes The Sound of One Hand Clapping such a wonderfully rich and beguiling read. Hypnotic and unbearably sad in places, it's a very human tale about two people locked together by a shared past who struggle to rise above the pain of their circumstances.''

Women in politics/ La place de la femme Africain en politique.

Where is the real place for African women in politics in Africa?
I think it is outside when they  have to go out and dance to welcome a political leader from an other country ( the way things happen in my country).
It is very sad because, women from my country still think that they are useless in politics, they have no say...
Politic issues always happen  between men, never a Gabonese woman said something or stood to be heard. But , I think the problem is to find a way to motivate Gabonese women to stand and fight for the real place they deserve in politics.

To be continued...


La femme gabonaise merite de se faire une place en politic. Elle ne devrait pas etre vu seulement comme un object de loisir. Et je pense, pour que les choses changent, il va falloir qu'elle pose des actes qui emmeneront les hommes politics a changer l' image de la femme qu ils avaient.

Quelles sont les actes que peuvent poser les femmes africaines pour avoir la place quelle merite en politique?

A suivre...

Not all who wander are lost.

''Not all who wander are lost'' I think, it is true! 

DevilDriver gave us the reasons through the song.

Only the gods know
They're looking right through you
Straight into the eyes of a dead man
There isn't enough hours in the day
What will be seen
When your world comes crashing down
Staring in the eyes of a gone man

No more fuckin' time left on your side, on you side
All of your hopes and dreams - don't mean shit!
All that's left is, now to nowhere
I believe do anything at all costs
You must believe
Not all who wander are lost

Tied to the tree of woe, so woe to you
In front of the man with the dead eyes
With a choir of faith there's still hell to pay
Not enough hours in the day
Hell of patience to be paid
So who's left to wonder?
In the wake of destruction, get made

All of your hopes and dreams - never meant shit!
All that's left is, now to nowhere!
I believe, do anything at all costs
You must believe
Not all who wander are lost!
Something, somewhere, injects the eye
Texas! Nights! Defines the sky!
