Oz! Oz! Oz! Oi Oi Oi

For many, Australia seems like heaven on earth. First class infrastructures, top educations, excellent health care systems, strong economy, diverse, etc. Melbourne has been voted "Most livable city in the world" in 2003 & 2004. What more can you ask for?

I really enjoyed my time in Melbourne and sure many shares the same. Not sure if I'll be getting the citizenship though, might ask Yuen Li to get it instead. I still would like to keep my Malaysian citizenship.

However, I came across 2 articles in the papers today. Let's look at some of the excerpts.
AUSTRALIA'S young people are more likely than their overseas peers to live in a jobless household, smoke daily, become pregnant, die in a car crash and spend less quality time with their families, a new report has revealed.
Compared with the best-performing countries, Australian youth are 12 times more likely to die from road deaths, only 50 per cent spend time "just talking" to their parents, less likely to move into work or further study after school, and more than double the number of 15-year-olds feel "out of place" at school. But indigenous Australian youth fared worse than non-indigenous Australians, and most teens in other countries.More
And...
SINGLE elderly Australians are struggling to survive, facing daily battles with poverty and declining standards of living.
For singles aged over 65, the income poverty rate in Australia is 50 per cent - the highest in the Organisation for Economic Development (OECD).More
Sometimes we just have to wonder, will modernization bring prosperity, health, wealth and relationships to us? Or will it makes things worse?

Surely modernization has improved our standard of living throughout the years but what made it a threat to our quality of living today? We cannot deny the fact that without modernization, the information growth wouldn't be in today's pace. Something must have gone wrong here. Something that was supposed to help us has negatively affected us.
What's the missing link? I think it's the Divine connection. As we can see, a lot of people are turning into New Age Movements to see what it can offer. As much as we hate to accept it, we cannot deny that the Divine force attracts every single one of us. Everyone needs a Divine connection every once a while.

The question then is, who is this Divine force? It's really not easy these days to distinguish who is the real God. Christians claimed their God is the only true God, Muslims claimed the same, etc. So how can we find out?

One easy way to find out: Experience it, tell the Divine force, "I want to experience you are real!"

However, make sure you know the "exit clause". You don't want to be attached to the consequences of "breaking the lease".

对于许多人来说,澳大利亚好像地球上的天堂。一流的基础设施,最高学历,良好的医疗保健系统,强大的经济实力,多样化,墨尔本等被选为“最适宜居住的城市中的世界”在2003年和2004年。还有什么更多可以要求?

我真的很享受我的时间在墨尔本和相信很多相同。不知道我会获得公民权不过,可能会问李元朗得到它代替。我还是想继续我的马来西亚公民。

然而,我碰到2条在今天的论文。让我们来看看一些摘录。

澳大利亚的年轻人更有可能比他们的同龄人在海外生活在一个失业的家庭,每天吸烟,怀孕,死于一场车祸,并花费更少的时间与他们的家庭,一份新的报告显示。
与 表现最好的国家,澳大利亚青年的12倍更有可能死于道路死亡,只有百分之五十花时间“只是谈论”他们的父母,不太可能进入的工作或进一步研究放学后,超过 人数的两倍,年满15岁感觉“出位”在学校。但是,澳大利亚土著青年的表现不如非土著澳大利亚人,而且大多数青少年在其他国家。更多

和...

单身老人的澳大利亚人都在艰难度日,每天面临战争与贫穷和下降的生活水准。
对于单打65岁以上,收入贫困率在澳大利亚是百分之五十-最高的组织,经济发展组织(经合组织) 。更多

有时候我们只是想知道,将现代化建设带来繁荣,健康,财富和关系呢?或将它使事情变得更糟?

当然,现代化建设改善了我们的生活水平在整个年,但为什么它威胁到我们生活质量的今天?我们不能否认的事实,没有现代化,信息增长将不会在今天的步伐。一定已经错了这里。这是要帮助我们产生了负面影响我们。
什么是缺少的环节?我认为这是神圣的连接。正如我们可以看到,很多人正在变成新时代的运动看看它可提供。正如我们不愿意接受它,我们不能否认,在神圣的力量吸引了每一个我们。每个人都需要有一个神圣的每一个方面,而一次。

接下来的问题是,谁是这神的力量?这真是不容易这些天来区分谁是真正的上帝。基督徒声称他们的上帝才是真正的上帝,穆斯林人相同,等等所以我们怎样才能找到?

一个简单的方法来寻找:经验,告诉神圣力量, “我想经验,你是真实的! ”

但是,一定要知道的“退出条款” 。你不想被重视的后果“打破了租赁” 。
