They are compared to the sun, Judges chapter 5:31, some people being insulted and shamed by others but they never talked back BUT keep quiet, for the sake of LOVE, happy in the sufferings. SO, The Lord compared them to the sun. Why compare to the sun?
Initially, the Sun and the Moon were created with the same size. The moon complained to God about the dependence to the Sun for the light that brightened the earth in the night sky. The moon was not satisfied. The sun never complain to God about and stayed cool even it is very hot.
(Remember, never complain about the sunny day/the sun, what if it will rain for 36 hours non stop, water reaching the roof top...)
So, God dealt with the moon...but God also consoled the moon by giving the stars to be on the side of the moon (the moon and the beautiful stars), twinkling stars in the sky)

A man's good/bad traits can be judged 3 important points.. into consideration..
1.Is he stingy/generous? He may be rich/poor.
2.How he eat? Noisily/table etiquette. Eat/drink greedily , say at a community dinner.
3. Is he an angry man? A newly found friend, you can cause him to be angry and see how he/she respond...to determine if that person can be a long lasting friendship.

You can see that the Chinese government would deliberate/brain storming all issue/policies before being announced via the Party Meeting. It is not the style of a Chinese to yell/scream in the open air about the affairs of the family and collecting shame/embarrassment.
Whether it is a communist gov or under the ruling of a kingdom, the China gov is administering the country well already if comparing to the liberals/demo-crazy countries.
Unlike the liberal demo-carzy, there were chairs-throwing incidents in the parliaments, shouting, fists showing, mocked the Presidents, candidates debate openly for for all to laugh, embarrassing...
SO, there must have deliberated in length so that Chairman Xi should remain longer to see those dreams to come true.

Somewhere i have read before that stated the Ching dynasty only lasted for 12/13 generation because from the founding leader until the last emperor, because a place of worship constructed by the dynasty was accompanied with only 12 steps from floor to the entrance of the place of worship.
Laksamana Cheng Ho was during the time of Ming Dynasty.
Ming Dynasty was defeated by Ching Dynasty. During the Ching Dynasty, China adopted the "Closed Door" policy that caused the Kingdom being left behind or secluded from the rest of the world. China did not reach out to the rest of the world like before.
Japan moved ahead of China in terms of the modernization of warfare, commerce, economy, social
The Manchu backgrounds were overwhelmed by the Chinese Culture embedded in the Palaces from dynasty to dynasty for thousands of years. So, the Manchus were sucked/assimilated into the Chinese culture without any conflict during their ruling. Nationalism, Sun Yat Sen, brought about the collapse of the Ching dynasty (12/13 generations from emperor to emperor, Of course Emperor Chen Loong was one of the more preferred/famous emperor).
Presumably, by now the Manchus in China have refused to be identified separately but instead were assimilated, long before into the tribe of Han (the majority).

1. China will not and never drop the claims against Taiwan.
Eventually, by war or by peace, China is entitled for the island of Taiwan.
2. In their civil wars, The USAs fought heavily to avoid the separation and stayed
united thereafter.
3. Any other country had passed any law that if that will be their duty to defend
Texas/Hawaii if USA will refuse to let these states to leave?
4. Do we know why the USSR was broken and who initiated the breakaway? Now
conflicts were created arising from those republics that were subjected to
manipulation by others.
5. Today, only 5 countries in the world are still applying communism (Cuba,
Vietnam, North Korea, Laos and China) to administer their governments.
6. Although communism is anti God but the Chinese did not start the Buddhism, Islam,
Judaism or Hinduism. The Chinese just pay homage to their ancestors, Confucius
So, China can deal very well with many countries without have to be labelled as
a religion biased country.

Who is not suffering?
Flood, heart attack, side effect maybe from the vaccines, divorce, illness, disobedient children, crooked/wicked friends instead of those decent ones, fore-closure by the banks, force selling/margin call, nature calls, played out/betrayed by business partners/political parties/governments, tortured by husbands, wives like to wear mini skirts, scammers...
However, God hates complainers and He can not go near to those ungrateful ones...
But if we don't complain like the sun (Judges 5:31), He actually will compared and elevate you to the level like the sun. The sun did not complain about the moon but the moon did complain about the sun.

3 things destroying the soul of a person.
1. Food
2. Money
3. Women
All of them are classified as 'materialism". Teacher said, Materialistic reduce the purity of the soul and distance us from God.
Each man got the desire for all of them.
Everyone must overcome their desire and be victorious in the eye of our Creator.
1.They complained about the water and the lack of meat, Moses, their babysitter for those years, was not allowed by God to enter the Promised Land. Moses suffered.
Btw, Moses Fear the Lord until his body shacking and trembling, so no reason we no learn to fear when we making sins everyday intentionally or unintentionally.
2.Crazy and maniac over money. Kill each other over RM100 only.
Vacations, new iPhone, new cars, new outfits/fashion, bigger house...
3.Keep the eyes on the floor, don't stare at mini skirt girls, let their husbands walking behind their wives else you staring at the naked legs. Btw, the naked legs/shorten T-shirt will collect sins non stop, 1 sin from each man on the street. King Soloman's heart towards God was taken away by women.
Again, if only we can buy low to sell high OR sell high to buy low. No contradiction at all.

The descendants of Esau are the Nazi/Hitler/Russians...tortured the children of Jacob until the current time. The inherited risk. Jacob's family members had witnessed the bullies from Esau except Benjamin.
Benjamin the 12th son of Jacob never witnessed the roughness from Esau, so the children of Benjamin such Mordecai & Esther was very willing to defend the Israelites when even facing Haman who wanted to wipe them out during the time of Xerxes.
Benjamin, the son Racheal, was not born yet. He never know the risk/torture from those Esau's people. He is not worried about the fighting Haman.
The inherited risk could be found in the Balance Sheet...unless he/she has not witnessed it.

Jacob was very generous to Esau. Jacob was fearful that his brother Esau will attack his wives and children and confiscate his assets (flocks and herds accumulated for working for Laban, his father-in-law/uncle, the idol worshipper).
So, Jacob offered some to Esau to save his family...
GENESIS 33 :
6 Then the female servants and their children approached and bowed down.
7 Next, Leah and her children came and bowed down. Last of all came Joseph and Rachel, and they too bowed down.
8 Esau asked, “What’s the meaning of all these flocks and herds I met?”
“To find favor in your eyes, my lord,” he said.
9 But Esau said, “I already have plenty, my brother. Keep what you have for yourself.”
10 “No, please!” said Jacob. “If I have found favor in your eyes, accept this gift from me. For to see your face is like seeing the face of God, now that you have received me favorably.
11 Please accept the present that was brought to you, for God has been gracious to me and I have all I need.” And because Jacob insisted, Esau accepted it.
Learn to cut loss...Jacob.

Human limitation - we don't have the eye sight of the eagles.

The human being physically is limited. This limitation is of course is intentional. We are not supposed to be like birds.
We have to be on the ground and function like human being. We have other capabilities which the animals do not have.
Human Beings got many thing that animals do not have them, such as the soul/living spirit (no other creation has) & freedom of will.
In short, human being got limitations. One of them is "short-sighted" and it is not about "far sighted" or "near sighted" The meaning is, he did not see what he is supposed to be able to see.

I was told before that the Balance Sheet of certain companies such as those engaged in lotteries/gambling do have few land & buildings, creditors or debtors/receivables. Expectedly, theses companies do have plenty of balances in the bank accounts.
As for 7106, whereby the B/S reported as at 30/SEPT/2021, the cash balances in its bank accounts were accounted with RM3.5Bil are enough to pay the Tax that are payable to LHDN (RM1.07BiL) at one single sum.
Even After fully settled the Tax, it can also fully settle all the remaining Current Liabilities and the Non-Current Liabilities (RM163MiL), there will still balances in its bank accounts. To be honest, we hardly can find such a company in KLSE.
Needless to say, the EPS is 135 Sen, P/E is merely 1.37 and the NTA posted at RM1.91 at the moment.
The other more important point is the Reserve/Retained Profit (RM4.8Bil), in this case, is reflected by the bank balances which is unlike to many others companies. You can find that the Reserve of many other companies are not reflected in the bank balances but from others like land/buildings, machines, losses accumulated, inventories and receivables.

The law of supply and demand is a theory that explains the interaction between the sellers of a resource and the buyers for that resource. The theory defines the relationship between the price of a given good or product and the willingness of people to either buy or sell it.
Kindly replace the word “resource” with currency.
For example, Take note of these 3 currencies between NOV 2020 to NOV 2021 :-
1. USD1/MYR 4.10 to USD1/MYR4.16 = MYR depreciated against the USD.
2. USD1/CNY6.60 to USD1/CNY6.37 = USD depreciated against the CNY
3. USD1/ILShekel 3.37 to USD1/ILShekel 3.10 = USD depreciated against ILShekel
Except MYR, many of other currencies have appreciated against the USD.
WHY?
IF the demand for USD is declining ….inflation.

Genesis Chapter 10
New International Version -
The Table of Nations -
This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah’s sons, who themselves had sons after the flood.
(Noah has 3 sons.)
(A). The Japhethites - the Europeans
(B). The Hamites -
Verse 6. - Sons of Ham:
Cush, Egypt, Put and Canaan.
7. The sons of Cush:
Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteka.
The sons of Raamah:
Sheba and Dedan.
8. Cush was the father[c] of Nimrod, who became a mighty warrior on the earth.
9. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.”
10. The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Uruk, Akkad and Kalneh, in[d] Shinar.
11. From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah
12. and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah—which is the great city.
13. Egypt was the father of
the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 14 Pathrusites, Kasluhites (from whom the Philistines came) and Caphtorites.
15. Canaan was the father of
Sidon his firstborn,[g] and of the Hittites, 16 Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, 17. Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, 18 Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites.
Later the Canaanite clans scattered 19 and the borders of Canaan reached from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, as far as Lasha.
20. These are the sons of Ham by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.
(C). The Semites - Why anti-semitism? The Israelites are the Semites. Abraham come come from Eber, Eber the son of Shelah, Shelah the son of Arphaxad and Arphaxad the son of Shem.
WHY Sino? The Chinese (Sino) come from Sinites (verse 17), son of Canaan, the son of Ham.
Cush - the dark people, the Africans.
SO, the Egyptians, the Chinese and the Africans come from Ham.
32. These are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood.

When the due respect should be given, Abraham spoke/dealt to the one standing in the middle. Usually the middle one is the most senior person whereas the ones at the sides (left & right) are like the body guards.

While they were eating, they asked Abraham "where is your wife sarah?".
>>>10 Then one of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.”
Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. 11 Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. 12 So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?”
13 Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”
15 Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.”
But he said, “Yes, you did laugh.”

2 things each man need to safeguard
1. Fear - fear the Lord. Also fear like we fear the Police/LHDN/MBPJ - Like being arrested & transported in the black maria, charged in the Court, send to the prison and be punished.
2. Shame - easily feeling ashamed, ashamed like you forgotten to fully zipped up the trouser/pants, private parts being exposed, shameful. Shameful to be related to certained unpleasant activities/schemes, insider's job/bank officers stole the depositors' money.
Thereafter, the characteristics in a person will be purified further

Baloney...baloney.
IF God wanted to make you rich...you don't have to be highly qualified/educated in the universities. Have we not seen before old professors went to teach with a small old car or scientists retired as poor men?
On the contrast, a foolish guy short/sold when others were asked to buy or he bought when others were selling. As the results, he made a big profit. Like a certain man short the Pounds and made huge profit out of the simple transaction. Bill Gates did not finish his studies and can not wait any longer to realize his dream in his company.
But someone who have borrowed and refused to pay back is a wicked man, both in the sight of God and men. However, at the moment he was borrowing, he is not a wicked one yet.
Plenty of charity/tzedakah can make our Creator change the decree for us. Supposedly to be snatched away the soul from the body last night, but he made a tzedakah to the poor just before the sun set, therefore the satan (life-taker) as the prosecutor could not over-ruled/convinced our Creator because the Creator will justify to the satan that "his cup that storing the sins became not overflowed again", so he continued to have more days.
Cry to God for your salvation. Once there was a man climbed out from the fencing of the hospital and ran to the grave of Rachael and cried to God for hours that he should not died of cancer at such a young age because he still got many unsettled matters in life...young children, old parents, unemployed wife...So, in days later, the doctor found that his disease had left.

Still Can learn a lesson even from the worse people in our modern time
1. Hitler refused to have anesthesia when his dentist was dealing with his root canal treatment. He reasoned that his armies were fighting the Russians with much more pain and he should suffer that little pain without any qualm.
2. Bernie Madoff refused to give in to the offer of the authority that he can have a better treatment in the jail sentences if he can agree to disclose the names of those who placed monies with his ponzi scheme (amounting to @USD60 BiL). Having cheated those depositors, how can he let the IRA/LHDN to investigate those victims of ponzi scheme?

Is very difficult to say "You are right, I am wrong". The best we can utter is "I think you are right". That also, "I think" the best. We seldom say "I am wrong". Why?
