Live, Laugh, Love

By Vicky Manalo

Life, where did it come from. The Bible stated in the book of Genesis that God created man and woman to inhabit the earth, so He breathed life in them. The Creator made ‘soul’ and placed it inside each and every one of us like water in a vessel of clay. The physical body is the home of this soul that just like the stomach gets hungry and needs to be fed, so as the soul. How can we feed a soul? Can it survive by manna or bread? Or will it live through social media or sex?
The soul is complex but the most important part of a human being. Without it he / she would not be able to breathe, or live or grow. All is lost without a soul to keep a body alive and survive anything and everything in and out of his/her self, with his/her peers, family or colleagues or in the world. What is then the food of the soul?

PREFACE

In presenting this edition:

I would like to touch the hearts of our youth, our young generation to come and the world that we will live in now that we have this pandemic. Year 2019 and 2020 are indeed years that tested our limits, courage, faith and wisdom.

This also goes to all the frontliners who sahred their lives to save many more until now and always.

The book honors the parents and to those who go out of their way to work and assist their families, the young, the elderly and the sick so that few peopole would catch the disease and live on for another more day, year or lifetime.

Lastly, it also gives heed to the leaders, defenders, clergymen and women, religious or not to say their prayers, share their sufferings and help through pledges, donations and a share of their livelihood or earnings for the sake of those who are poor, hungry, sick and alone.

We all need to stay strong, to live, be happy and continue breathing, for our family, loves, for our society and the world. This isn’t the end but a new beginning for us all. Let’s make our life here on earth worth our while.

May God continue to bless us with life and good health to be able to go on and make that change in this world for it to become better and liveable.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I thank God above all for another life he has given me that I am able to write this book. Though quarantine is not the ideal place for it to be happy about really, but I have a wonderful place with my laptop and my inspiration to guide me through writing this piece.

All my gratitude to my family, my daughter, friends and love that they keep me going thus, gave me the idea so I was able to come up with this book.

Many thanks too to my saints and angel in guiding me when I was alone, making me strong and supporting me all through-out my ordeal to fight against illness and none sense thoughts.

Most of all, to my dad, who have given me the strength and courage to keep sane and regain my health, all through-out my quarantine days.

And thank you, Self, for reminding that I am, I will, I can, do everything and anything with God and in God, every day, every minute and always.

What is then the food of the soul?

A soul is a warm, transparent and light energy that is connected to the word spirit. But this is alive and goes back to the Creator when the person’s time on earth is over. We all have souls and we feed it with prayer, meditation, yoga, good deeds and many more act of heroism or holiness.

The body is the same one feeds it with bad habits or vices that inhibits the mind and heart to think, feel properly. We must feed our bodies and souls good things such as nutritious food and positive vibes or outlook, to lead to a happy and healthy life.

But what is to live, really? Influencers say that, to live is to dream and act or work hard on your dream to make it a reality. I
