[Vnbiz] season greetings

[Tran Dinh Hoanh]

Dear CACC,

Thanks, Thanh Thanh, for the greeting.  Christmas Season is my favorite
season, because it is the season of love (eventhough today it has turned
into a stressful shopping season.  More people divorce, get sick and die
during Christmas season than any other season.  The commercialization of
this Holy-Day season has make it a very stressful season.  You're supposed
to have gifts for your love ones, and the TV advertisements say that you
need diamond to show your love!).

Even with all that materialistic stress, at its core this is still a season
for joy, hope and love.  I remember, during the War, both sides usually had
ceasefire during Christmas.  The logic might be that if we can't love each
other, at least we try to hate each other a little less during Christmas.

Each year, as a Christmas greeting, I post my favorite quote on love.  Here
it is again, to share with everyone.  Those who are already familiar with it
may read it again as a reminder for our heart.  Those who are new to it may
be happy to find the spiritual truth in it.  Here it is to share with
everyone.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Love

I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a
resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophecy and
can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can
move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.  If I give all I possess to
the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain
nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is
not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres.

Love never fails.

                      1 Corinthians 13:1-8
