Lesson
The Human Person as an
1 Embodied Spirit

Do you still remember those days when you were playing outside your home?
Playing with your friends or classmates all day long then waiting for a certain time
for afternoon’s anime or fictional movies like Slamdunk, Flame of Recca, Dragon Ball,
Princess Sarah, Cinderella and Snow White?

Maybe you are wondering as to why we need to remember those days when
everything was plain and simple. Our time after class were simply spent watching
movies and playing inside or outside our home with brothers, sisters relatives,
friends, friends of friends, classmates and schoolmates.

You might ask me why? Why do we have to go back and remember our childhood
days? What is the relevance of our childhood memories to our present times? You
will find out, later.
