One of the arguments of Mere Christianity is that each of us have this inner voice that teaches right and admonishes against wrong. No matter the historical context, it exists. For C. S. Lewis, that voice is God.

Shared my thoughts again with SCMP, this time on OFWs and homesickness.
“The ubiquity of these institutions, the volume of Filipinos already working abroad, and the perception of limited opportunities at home could promote the option of going abroad,” Yonaha said.

The Philippines’ low ranking in the report is unsurprising because long working hours, being constantly on-call for work, and a lack of job flexibility reflect a poor workplace culture across the country, according to Yonaha.

Low wages, poor workplace culture and heavy traffic are among the factors hampering Filipinos from enjoying a good work-life balance.

Last week's RDL was about #gratitude. It was straightforward until I got to the part asking if I was grateful for pain and failures. Naturally, I was not. How could anyone ever be thankful for that? I asked my spiritual director about the line between mindful gratitude and #self-delusion.
