早上在家中起身，遇到所有人，都稱呼一聲，說句早晨！這是最簡單的愛人方式，互相敬愛。父母下班回家，子女用雙手奉上一杯茶或飲品，便是簡愛。 發展經濟成為天之驕子，文化發展及優秀傳統文化被忽視。人的存在和生活，除了衣食，還有數不清的關連。人有家庭、愛情、父母、朋友，內心有愛、有良知，這些都是金錢買不到的事物。 父母用愛給予我們珍貴奇妙的生命，中國人特別用孝（filial piety）來回饋報答，人生可創造及發揮的空間很大很廣闊。家庭為最小單元，父母親是我們的第一位老師，扶持我...
惹人煩的髒男人
男女最大不同之處莫過於清潔；男士用過的衣物，黃黃油油，配偶一見就眉頭皺，覺得另一半很髒！ 最簡單的例子是枕邊人用過的枕頭，黃黃油油的，枕頭套短時間内一個換過一個，結果還是黃黃油油的，挺惱人的。其他男士穿過的衣物，都是這樣子。 男士穿戴過的服飾衣履黃黃油油，並非可惡的另一半沒有好好洗澡，幕後黑手其實是「男性賀爾蒙」造成汗水、皮屑等代謝物分泌較旺盛，寢具、衣物鞋履用久了也隨之變黃，可愛的另一半不要再誤會枕邊人了。雄性賀爾蒙容易加速男性的皮脂生產，使用過的衣服...
