writing this piece‚ I have just finished watching an episode in “The Amazing Race Philippines” which gave me the idea how beautiful the places are in the Philippines like Boracay‚ Bicol‚ Palawan etc. This brought me back to this documentary film‚ Sacred Planet. In the film‚ the majestic creatures like giraffe‚ monkeys and birds give me a peaceful mind.

In chapter one of The Sacred and Profane‚ Mircea Eliade suggests that the basis of religion depends on the distinction between sacred and profane space. He describes the “sacred” as the opposite of profane‚ and the profane as any nonreligious‚ chaotic place or object with no relation to God.
