World Affairs And Beyond

We humans, the silly creatures that we are,  spend all our lives in search of our destiny;  while destiny is what happens to us each day along the way.  All the good and the bad, the happy and the sad.

I have come across people who enter into marriages, particularly love marriages, with the hope that they will transform their lives magically. They think love marriages are like magic, and work miracles; the way they see on television. If you are not happy being single, you can never be happy being married. Happiness comes from within. Marriage, be it arranged or love, needs a lot of work. Building homes takes energy, time, compromises and patience. It does not need "love" alone. Homes break when you listen to the judgements of other people about the people you live with. First of all, when entering into a love marriage, if you expect all your wishes and desires to be met by your loyal slave only at the wave of your magic wand, then you are an idiot. That is not how marriages work. If you enter into marriage with the aim of controlling your in-laws, you are being an idiot once again, driven by Adrenalin and ambition, or maybe by Star Plus. You probably could not find...

You are "bitter" because I am "better". When someone is not treating you right, they are bitter because they know you are better and they cannot digest this fact !

When you talk to respectable and honorable people, you will get respect in return. When you talk to people who have no respect of their own, you will get disrespect in return for sure. Every time people treat you badly, you should know that the problem in not with you, but with them. If they disrespect you, or try to belittle you, know that they feel insecure in your presence. They feel threatened by you being better than they are. They give you only what they have received from the universe. Someone who respects you has a lot of respect of his own in the eyes of the world and the universe. The world must have treated him well, and he is familiar with respect. People who are kind, have known kindness. People will give you of what they have. How can you expect someone to give you of what they do not have?

It is much better to be alone or on your own, than to be with the wrong person. Getting stuck with the wrong person for the rest of your life can be a curse.

Life is complicated. Its episodes are quite complex. Some moments we are happy, the rest we are sad.

  You do not have to sacrifice your dignity for your destiny. If it is destiny, it will come. So do not worry and be happy. Nothing can take away or keep away from you what is meant to be yours. Be it good or bad.

Mankind is not always kind, even to itself He - Who cannot even keep himself from injury He- who is merely clay, a spec of dust He - who is bound to perish He - The Man Thinks himself to be the savior of all He - Boastful and arrogant He - The mini god on earth He - Eventually turns to dust --- Sobia Nosheen

We are all born for different reasons. We look at the world through different eyes. We have different understandings of things around us. Each one of us serves a different purpose. We do not necessarily belong together. People come into this world and leave after having served their purpose. Sometimes it appears like some people are born to suffer, while others are born to enjoy life and have fun. Whatever we are meant to be, is coded in our entire being. Those who suffer, will suffer even if they are provided with the conditions of the happy ones. If not in every case, sometimes in some cases the sufferer suffers at his own will. 

Waiting for my friends on the second floor of a busy building, I could hear the construction workers working with their heavy machinery in the building compound. While digging into the ground, they found a dead body that appeared to be quite old and yet fresh. It was half human and half machine. It had human skin and one could see the sunlight reflecting from its metallic exposed part of the head. The dead body was much bigger in size than regular humans. I was still waiting for my friends, looking out the glass walls of the building, with the sun shining bright in the sky on a dry noon in the month of May somewhere in some time period that seemed alien to me. Suddenly the dead body woke up to life and put all those workers into a deep suspended animated mode, with some red light beam coming out of its eyes. It seemed to be some kind of a laser beam. Time seemed to have switched into some other dimension. The day went red, and people in the building, where I was standing, start...

  We all make mistakes. There are people who can see past those mistakes and people who cannot. People who will forgive us, and people who will not. People who will try to punish us even for a slight mistake that we make, and people who will forgive us for even our big mistakes. It is good to make small mistakes sometimes, to know who your true friends are. To know how much you mean to your friends. For some you matter, for some you don't.

D on't resist the resistance, because whatever you resist, persists !

People who walked these grounds once, are now buried deep down, Many kings and heroes and many Tarzans, Who walked these grounds like they owned the world, Now lie long forgotten, beneath some lump of mud.

Life is bigger than us. We are pieces of life. We pass on, after serving our purpose here. We pass on to live in the true world. The Creator is up there, watching over His universe.

 I wouldn't miss the sunrise for the world. I'd give anything to see the dawn !

There was a bird, A delicate and beautiful  Little bird; but Injured and hurt Seeking shelter, from the vultures Looking for protection Flying here and there Had wings gone weak It saw a man Sitting under a tree A bored man, Waiting for entertainment. To the bird  He appeared to be kind From a safer distance He was calling out For the bird; It not seeing, What his intentions were

A time comes when people walk away and leave you, as if you never mattered. A time when you realize how superficial these worldly relationships are. There is only one Being that will always remain by your side, and that is God. He will never leave you. When all else flee, only God remains. You can always trust Him and rely on Him. He keeps his promises and loves you more.
