"Samwad" is a word in HILIGAYNON
sámwad - To prosper, progress, go on
well, flourish. (cf. úswag, sányog,
kaayohán).
Life presents itself as a continual deception, in small matters as well as in great. If it has promised, it does not keep its word, unless to show how little desirable the desired object was; hence we are deluded now by hope, now by what was hoped for. If it has given, it did so in order to take. The enchantment of distance shows us paradises that vanish like optical illusions, when we have allowed ourselves to be fooled by them. Accordingly, happiness lies always in the future, or else in the past, and the present may be compared to a small dark cloud driven by the wind over the sunny plain; in front of and behind the cloud everything is bright, only it itself always casts a shadow. Consequently, the present is always inadequate, but the future is uncertain, and the past irrecoverable.
WORD SUGGESTIONS
A college student was in a philosophy class which had a discussion about God's existence. The professor presented the following logic:"Has anyone in this class heard God?" Nobody spoke."Has anyone in this class touched God?" Again, nobody spoke."Has anyone in this class seen God?" When nobody spoke for the third time, he simply stated, "Then there is no God."One student thought for a second, and then asked for permission to reply. Curious to hear this bold student's response, the professor granted it, and the student stood up and asked the following questions of his classmates:"Has anyone in this class heard our professor's brain?" Silence."Has anyone in this class touched our professor's brain?" Silence."Has anyone in this class seen our professor's brain?" When nobody in the class dared to speak, the student concluded, "Then, according to our professor' s logic, it must be true that our professor has no brain!"You can't argue with that!
