JOHN BOSCO THE AMBASSADOR

-


 

A shoot sprang from the tree of Turin

A product beyond of a human

Not simply a legislator but a mediator

Chained in a dungeon of poverty

One would ask who was he like.



Was it a vegetative being?

Or could it be a sensate being,

Perhaps some kind of a mixed being

Oh l see that was a rational being.



The only seer of the vision

The only one capable to quick action

The only advocate of a new revolution

The only legend of restoration

The only patron of a young generation

The only shepherd for souls towards heaven.



Ready to offer his being for the beings

Quick to read the signs of the times

Sensitive to the needs of the young

Flexible to grasp the language of the young.



Don Bosco the saint

John Bosco the genius

Melchior Bosco the educator

Giovanni Bosco the father

Hence a declaration: an Ambassador from God.

Earlier, love was the key to any kind of marriage but unfortunately, nowadays others factors such as education and income have changed the whole idea. A lady from a rich family is eagerly looking and waiting for a man from a rich family and vice versa. This implies that in one way or another, marriage has lost its meaning.

WHY WE ARE FRUSTRATED

In the History of Philosophy, some have defined man as what he eats and others as what he Thinks. In the Contemporary world, one will be in a better position to define man as he perceives Himself. In Psychology, a majority are driven or led astray by what we may refer to as irrational beliefs. For a highly emotional Being, such beliefs cause one to become frustrated and some even walk into an extent of committing suicide. One of the causes of Emotional disturbances in human beings is Dogmas. A certain lady in the University has already made it in her mind that after the four years in the University she has to Graduate with Summa Cum Laude (First Class Honour) whichever the circumstances. Such kind of demands makes one feel frustrated and demoralized which the coin happens to turn on the other side. From the shared experience, many have been frustrated even when it comes to the matters pertaining to relationships. Some individuals have in their minds that they have to be loved, lis...
