		<description><![CDATA[This is an e-mail I sent to Mr. Jaime T. Licauco back in 2003. I am re-posting it here since it&#8217;s related to the previous post on Freewill vs. Destiny. &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Dear Mr. Licauco: I fully agree with you that our freewill is absolute. [Even the devil appears to have recognized this, if we are &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I momentarily paused while presenting a prosecution witness in a criminal case. What struck me was the witness&#8217; answer when asked why she decided to testify (she first saw the victim when the incident happened; the victim died). She said that if she should be a victim, she would also want others to testify for &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Getting up early in the morning for an out-of-town hearing is something to look forward to. Well, not particularly the getting-up-real-early part, but the thought the out-of-town trip. It&#8217;s always a welcome therapy. The long drive along traffic-free expressways and provincial roads satisfies one’s need for speed. The adrenaline, perhaps? Sure, the constant driving along &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At some point in our lives, we may experience unbearable pain, so unbearable that we&#8217;d welcome death to end it all. Many had succumbed, and many more will give in, to this temptation. Around two years into my working life, I experienced physical pain that made me rethink my neat concept of the world. It &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Death comes like a thief in the night. Man&#8217;s (and, yes, woman&#8217;s) quest for power &#8211; absolute power &#8211; is tempered by the fact that death, the greatest equalizer, comes to us all. Sure, power and money provide some measure of security in life. Money can buy the best homes and other comforts. Money and &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are times when, all alone and for no apparent reason, you suddenly blush and just feel terribly embarrassed. A stray thought just casually floated into your conscious mind; a thought that you always wanted to erase, only that your sadistic mind has a funny habit of forcing you to remember it. Just like the &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote something about the fast lane, which is basically about slaving at work and the rat race. I never heard of the concept known as downshifting, until I read Lalaine&#8216;s article on the subject matter. I agree with her that downshifting primarily requires emotional and financial readiness. Nevertheless, the ultimate consideration is one&#8217;s contentment. &#8230;]]></description>

For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.&#8221; The dog said: &#8220;That&#8217;s a long time to be barking. How about only ten &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How often has it been said that you should spend time with, and treasure, the ones you love while you still have the chance. Still, while we nod our heads in agreement, we simply disregard it. It&#8217;s the same thing as praying to God in happy times, or, if you prefer something farther from heaven, &#8230;]]></description>
