Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Chinese Japanese Combination in Kanji Symbols

By Takamitsu Hairi


Japanese artistry and inventiveness is obvious in the Kanji symbols which are singled out from different characters with great precision so that they can display ideas and things exactly. These ideograms can be identified without effort as they are striking with their outstanding artistic appearance.

Kanji symbols have grown the favourite choice of tattoo admirers. Necklets, wristlets and earrings..Kanji symbols dominate the designs most of the ornaments. Today, habit of embellishing lamps and wall hangings with these symbols also has become popular.

Would you like to convey a great concept in your heart without a dreary elucidation? Kanji symbols have the sufficient potential to help you. But before hastening to unfavourable mistakes, you should be aware of the fact that these symbols entirely contrast with the English structure and you should be able to differentiate what idea each symbol expresses.

Yes, it is a fact that too much people have been meshed tattooing with the inappropriate symbols, trusting in their outer meaning. later, they realized that those symbols didn't express what they expected, moreover they had a blush-making meaning which they never liked.

For people who are unacquainted with the Japanese language it is almost impossible to comprehend what a kanji symbol stands for. One can easily end up with something that turns the head of the Japanese people but for all the wrong reasons. Tattoo seekers often encounter this problem when they trust a non native speaker with their kanji symbols. A tattoo with a wrong meaning then serves the purpose that it was initially used for which was as a sentence for criminals.

Kanji symbols and their symbolism have an eventful history. Most of the Kanji pandits today may not have sufficient mastery on tattooing. Moreover they create their own art by weaving attractive scripts with these symbols and provide some exciting art works.

The brilliance of the Kanji symbols is in the fact that they have carried on retaining their attraction throughout the ages. The establishment of Chinese characters into the Japanese language took place in the fifth century. These age old characters known as Kanji have retained their creative power up to today.

Another reason is there for the wide acceptance of this art - the illustration of the beauty of life. It holds an unexplainable appeal to the human sense. In other words, Kanji symbols are really a embodiment of the human resourcefulness.

It has been remarked that the roots of the kanji symbols that we see today are embedded in human experience. For example the kanji symbol for peace depicts an abstracted line drawing of a woman under a roof representing shelter. Among the most popular Kanji symbols is the one which reads "FUKU". This means fortune and comfortability. "Gaku" is another popular symbol which means happiness.
