Greetings! Welcome to Big Life Questions Blog Site. My name is Tevita Mataika, and I am the main writer and editor of the posts on this site. A little bit about me, I am a video editor, author, music producer and enjoy community outreach work.
In this site you will notice articles that have theological and social themes. It is my passion to focus on these two.
I grew up in a Christian home, very simple childhood but rich with experiences.
I have travelled to Sydney, Canberra, Tokyo, Osaka, and Shizuoka.
My passion primarily is for Religion, Science, History and Philosophy. My deep interest in religion developed from a painful experience where I nearly lost my life to illness. But later on, I spent half a decade in studying the Bible. I studied science throughout high school, and pursued Biology and Information Systems in University.
Modern society has endeavoured vigorously into an effort of inclusivity and tolerance. But in the pursuit for inclusivity and tolerance, it is vital to seek enlightenment of various beliefs and ideologies. Consequentially, enlightenment leads to acknowledging certain facts and realities that may be somewhat difficult to accept.
I believe “as the person thinketh, so is he” (Bible Proverb) is so true. Whatever our past may have involved, we develop presumptions, perceptions, and beliefs. But if we don’t take time to seek truth and wisdom, we may live our lives in denial.
That’s one of the focuses of this blog site, is to bring these concepts to you. You matter.
Why? your physiological identity is unique from any other individual that has or will ever exist. Nobody can impact the world as you are able to – either for better or for worst. You have the potential to show everyone else another way; another style. But one thing that will remain and will be in eternal continuum, is absolute truth. In order to attain that truth, we need to turn over every stone. Remember, willing ignorance is a futile excuse. A blind person won’t ever enjoy life if they fail to use their other four senses. Even if the blind person continues to complain about their blindness, it is nobody’s fault for their refusal and stubborness to explore alternatives. And so, we must also. Explore, read, listen, watch, before we try and attempt to practice.
Take care, and as always, “Seek and ye shall find!”
