When Is Your Birthday?
The day we were born is one the dates we never forget in our life
It is the day that determines who we really are
It is the day that decides what we are likely to become
It is the day that endows us with certain natural powers
It is the day we begin our first journey in life
That is why we commemorate this date every year
When is your birthday?
Western astrology divides the calendar year into twelve zodiac signs
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra,
Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces
Since our birthday determines our zodiac sign
Therefore every human being living on this earth
Belongs to one of the twelve zodiac signs
The zodiac signs are said to influence our destiny on earth
When is your birthday?
In eastern [Chinese] astrology, it is the year we are born
That influences our destiny instead of the date of birth
Chinese astrology has a twelve-year lunar circle and each year
Is named after an animal Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon,
Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig
Each animal is believed to influence our destiny on earth
When is your birthday?
The combination of east and west astrology can provide
A deeper and fuller insight into who we are as humans
This amalgamation can also be used to compute higher
And more accurate probabilities of our future potentials
When the east and west astrology are combined together
The result will sound like: Libra-Dog, Scorpio-Snake, Aries-Dragon,
Gemini-Tiger, Taurus-Rabbit, Cancer-Ox, Leo-Rat, Aquarius-Pig
Capricorn-Horse, Sagittarius-Sheep, Virgo-Monkey, Pisces-Rooster
Whenever you celebrate your birthday, make it a memorable day
You are a unique human being; there will never be another you

What Is Metaphysics?
Metaphysics is a branch of the Philosophical Sciences
Metaphysics is the study of ontology, epistemology and cosmology
How do you define metaphysics to the average individual?
In simplistic terms, metaphysics is the study of the nature of human
Existence on earth and how we humans are related to the universe
When human beings are born into this world
Metaphysics is interested in when and where we were born!
What is the astrological configuration in the sky when we were born?
What sign of the zodiac do we belong to?
What type of people shall we be compatible with as we grow up?
Being born at a certain time of the year, endows us with certain powers
Will that person be able to access all their natural powers in a life-time?
Shall that person be happy and successful in life?
Will that person be rich and famous?
Shall that person be a leader or a follower?
Metaphysics look into all aspects and facets of human life
Does the type of food we eat everyday affect our life?
By eating certain foods, can human beings live to a hundred years?
Surely, we know the type of liquids we consume daily affect our life
Drunks and alcoholics can tell you more about that
Metaphysics is also interested in our marital life
If human beings are able to discover their soul mates
Shall they live together until deaths do them apart?
If they cannot find their soul mates
How long will they live together before they divorce?
All circumstances considered, human beings possess many powers
We have the power to reason, think, decide and make choices
Many say as you lay your bed so you shall sleep
Some wonder if we are all puppets been manipulated by the stars!
Metaphysics ask is the fault in us or in the stars?
The investigative research continues!

Are We Puppets Been Manipulated By The Stars?
This is an age-old question that has not been truly answered by sages
The sages include mystics, astrologers, spiritualists, metaphysicians
Soothsayers, clairvoyants, fortune-tellers, seers, and psychics
To rephrase the above question in simplistic terms
Is everything human beings do on earth predestined by the stars?
Human beings are known to possess enormous powers
Powers to think, reason, decide, invent, create, and make choices
How can we be turned into puppets been manipulated by the stars?
Many sages say some events in the life of humans are predestined
And that not all things in human existence are preordained
The power of human beings to make choices in their own lives
Has lead several to fortune and some to misfortune
If you play the lottery and become an overnight millionaire
You will surely thank all the stars in the sky
If your marriage end up in divorce after few months or years
Will you blame that on all the stars in the sky?
Or blame yourself for your poor choice and short-sightedness
Are we puppets been manipulated by the stars?
How about a drunk driver who died in motor accident?
Was that driver manipulated by the stars?
How about a swimmer who drowned without a life-jacket?
Was the swimmer manipulated by the stars?
Are we puppets been manipulated by the stars?
If you eat the wrong type of food and die of heart-disease!
Shall we blame the stars in the sky for your untimely death?
What of a student who failed an exam because of poor preparation?
Shall we conclude that the student was manipulated by the stars?
Are we puppets been manipulated by the stars?
With all the enormous powers of human beings to think,
Reason, decide, invent, produce, create and make decisions
Hopefully, we shall all become the architects of our own fortunes
Please enjoy your life, good luck and happy destiny

Are You A Good or A Bad Person?
Everybody likes to be called a good person
All of us will prefer to be labeled a nice human being
What have you done to be called a good person?
What did you do to wear the label a nice human being?
Have you done any favour to anybody today?
Have you assisted somebody this week?
Have you helped anybody this month?
Have you done any good to someone this year?
When last did you give money to the homeless?
When last did you show generosity to a beggar?
When last did you donate to a charity cause?
Have you ever suggested a better way of doing things?
Have you ever given an advice that improved someones life?
Have you ever made a recommendation that saved money?
Have you ever made a suggestion that saved time?
When last did you buy something nice for your parents?
When last did you present a gift to your wife or husband?
Do you have to wait for an anniversary to be generous?
When last did you volunteer for a good cause?
When last did you perform or do something
Nice and pleasant for your neighbours?
Now you ask who are those neighbours?
Your neighbours are your wife, husband, partners,
Sons, daughters, co-workers, friends, associates,
In-laws, parents and those fellows near your house
Are you a good or bad person?
Before you provide a very honest answer
Look at yourself in the mirror
Search your soul and do a self-analysis
Are you a good or bad person?
Now it is time to answer
