The Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao will be celebrated on the final, or fifteenth day in the Traditional Chinese New Year Calendar of Events.
This marks the end of Chinese New Year celebrations with a party under the full moon. Traditionally chinese make paper lanterns to illuminate and march under the full moon. Sometimes there are competitions to see who has the most beautifully decorated lantern.
As a Human being living in this world we can become God when? When we forgive our neighbors, relatives and friends. In this world in our daily life everyone is hurting others with plan or accidentally. We are thinking that other fellow man has to forgive our mistakes. At the same time we are not forgiving others.
Forgiveness is not easy
To give to others when we're wronged.
But if we do not give it
Our hurt and pain will be prolonged.
Like a wound that is infected
And gets worse as time goes by.
We can not just ignore it
No matter how hard that we try.
Sometimes there are no reasons
For the things that people do.
No excuses or explanations
That justify what they put us through.
But remember...Jesus told us to forgive
The same way our Father forgives us.
So we can move toward the love
Instead of staying bitter and callused.
Forgiveness releases the negative
That has consumed and taken over.
It frees us. To love and live again
As our hardened heart grows softer.
Yes...Forgiveness can be very hard
But it's something we must do.
If we want God to forgive us
Then...We must forgive others too !

Forgiveness is, accepting other human beings who have made mistakes, hurting or injustice against us.
In Bible Mark11:25 tells like this “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Mark 11:25 (NIV) If we want forgiveness we have to forgive other fellow human beings.
If we didn’t forgive others it will lead to anger, revenge, depression, blood pressure, problems in family and lack of interest in work. So our total system will be collapsed. Then why we are not forgiving others.
Forgiveness is a big gift to our life. In this world we are going to live for some years. In this short period why we are building walls around us? Try to build bridge between us and cherish the life!

I came to know that Google used to show Global Doodle for Valentines Day(February 14) and for Chinese New Year by going thro' previous 10 years history of Google Doodle. But it seems Chinese New year falls on February 14 for this year. So, what Google Doodle will be getting displayed on February 14? Whether it will show for Valentines day? Or for Chinese New Year?
Even if it is showing Doodle for Chinese New Year, will it be like this 'GO'ogle?
Google used to show Doodle for representing special days and birthdays of scientists. You can read this blog post to know more about it.
Isaac Newton was born on 4 January 1643 at Woolsthorpe Manor in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, a hamlet in the county of Lincolnshire. At the time of Newton's birth, England had not adopted the Gregorian calendar and therefore his date of birth was recorded as Christmas Day, 25 December 1642.
The above YouTube video quotes the Newton's below quote.
"Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance."
