Helping People

So I have been perusing through my old posts and I see that many of my posts are negative and a few have a positive slant. I feel like I am just a news reporter seeing the world through my eyes and trying to be subjective and objective as possible. Naturally I don't want to be negative. I think negative energy breeds hostility and corrupts individuals on a path full of hatred, ignorance and overall a wasted life as well as potential in growth.


To begin with some new ideas and positive energy. I LOVE MY WIFE. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be able to do this job everyday and unfortunately I couldn't be happy here as well. She cooks wonderful meals for me, she takes care of me in every single way possible. We do many wonderful things together whether its playing Gostop at home, walking on the beach, riding on the subway to PNU or NAMPO-dong or just watching The Pretender we spend quality time together.

In our house 305 we have many books and have a shelf of treasure ranging from American treasures from Quinns hot springs, or Missoula, or things that we have collected around Korea. Its nice to look at each day. As I said I feel I don't spend as much time here as I would like. I am seeing the streets in Yeon-san dong too much and its leading no where there.

I have decided that its more important to help people. I need to help my wife more. I need to do things for her that I should be doing naturally but may have neglected in doing so since I have returned.


I have talked to many of of my former friends and these days I feel like everyone has lost sight of their goals and happiness. I don't talk to many people now since they have seemed to have lost their own way. I had a dear friend of mine show me how I could improve myself. She told me that if I try hard to be a teacher and start in Korea I could emerge as a successful person. Because of her I came but now she can't see her own directions and its unfortunate that we can't help each other out.


That's a personal note on a social note we are all wandering around trying to solve the pieces of the puzzle that come to us. We all don't know what to do and we all don't help each other by ignoring the simple pleasantries of life. In a world that has a lot of untold stories and mysteries we are all dooming ourselves by  ignoring the basic essentials that we need. Life isn't about work, its not about teaching ABCs its simply about making sure we are all ok at the end of the day.

I had a student kick the Korean teachers dice. The dice is used for her teaching practices. Its used to reward the students or assign a student a seat. This is a personal object of the teachers it wasn't or isn't supposed to be kicked. The lesson in all simplicity is Don't damage other peoples items, you should obviously treat other people's things with more care they aren't mine to deal with. I think this is a basic lesson.

I want to go one step further in my new quest to help people. First, I want people to realize their dreams. Second, I want people to learn the bare basics that we all learned or adhered to in kindergarden or at least we were supposed to. But Finally I would like to help people see what they have and not take things for granted. To give an open hand when someone needs help. I would like to be a guide if possible and show people the way towards finding their own answers. Lastly, living a full completely happy life is important.

Tomorrow is a new day-My teaching is gone to shit but I am ever so hopeful that I can find some new answers and get on a new path. A path where I am walking with my wife to bliss. A happy place for the two of us to always enjoy no matter what.
