我看天下大小事

 世界最快乐的国家排行

 连续五年，芬兰是排名世界上最快乐的国家 ，他们不但経济发达 ，人口不多 ，国民收入极高， 全国生活一片祥和 ，政治稳定， 真是世界乐土， 排在第二名的是丹麦， 第三是冰岛。

 俗语说， 人比人气死人，这话说得有道理 。今天我们翻开世界地图 ，乌俄战争㘯面惨不忍睹， 气候变化到处天灾， 新冠疫情至今虽已减缓 ，但中国大陆、 韩国等地又趋严重， 医疗专家正要大家去打第四针， 世界何其乱和惨。

 我们再度呼吁世界政治领袖要以庶民為重， 中美两国尤其是世界政治之两大支柱， 必须做出正确之决策来挽救沉沦的地球。


 政治人物之变与不变

 几天前和赫里斯郡长卡路一同走访了国际区和华埠西南区 ，从上午九点半到午餐， 整整五个小时之相处时间。

 我们一路上参观了中台禪寺 、慈济、 希望医疗中心， 卡路郡长能够亲自看见我们大家是如何从杂草中建成一个繁荣之社区， 他更领会了华亚裔宗教团体对社区精神建设之贡献。

 老实说 ，能够利用这么多时间到我们社区考察的政治人物并不多见， 卡路是共和党籍并且是把我们首次划进他的选区。

 在行程中，他带来了十多位行政主管， 并答应為我们兴建亚洲宝塔， 促进亚裔文化创意及观光， 他的诺言是否可实现， 最近就能分晓。

 我们手中握有之选票是非常重要 ，换言之， 大家参政选票会说话 ，况且政府之経费都是我们大家贡献的税收。

World’s Happiest Country

Finland was ranked as the world’s happiest country for the fifth year in a row followed by Denmark and Iceland. They are not only economically developed, the population is not large and the national temperatures are very high.

As the old saying goes, you just can’t compare person-to-person today. When we open the world map, the war in Ukraine is terrible Climate change has caused natural disasters everywhere. The Covid-19 pandemic has slowed down, but is still attacking a lot of countries. Health experts are asking people to take a fourth shot soon.

We really need to urge the leaders of all nations to come to the rescue of especially the U.S. and China. Unless we make the right decision, the world will continue to suffer.

Commissioner Jack Cagle Came To Visit

We were so honored that Harris County Commissioner Cagle came to visit the International District and the Southwestern District last Tuesday. We toured the Chung Tai Center and the Tzu Chi Buddhist Temple and the Hope Clinic. Commissioner Cagle personally experienced how the new immigrants and pioneers have built this community to become a very prosperous area in the city of Houston. The Buddhist Center has become the spiritual center for our community.

To be honest, there are not many politicians like Commissioner Cagle. He spent half of the day with us and brought members of his staff to find out what he can do for us. One of his promises is to build an Asian pagoda in the park to promote Asian culture,  creativity and tourism.

We are so glad that this is the first time an elected commissioner has given us such promises. We will wait and see.

It is very important that all of us need to participate in the political process and go out and vote. This is the only way we can speak out and let our voices be heard.
