World Affairs And Beyond

In this hurried life, why the constant tension? Are we wary of the divine's benevolent intervention? Why the need to scheme, to outshine, to outdo? Does deceit really pave the way to triumph we pursue? Why the urgency to cheat, to cunningly deceive? Do we believe success requires others to grieve? Why the impatience, the lack of self-command? Does the rush to victory obscure life's fancy strand? In this quest for more, do we lose what truly counts? Is the pursuit of success leaving us with discounted amounts? Why not pause, reflect, and grasp life's essence? Could tranquillity be the key, dispelling the tension's presence? ⒸSobia Nosheen

When others depart, the illusion persists,  Death seems a distant tale, for others to enlist.  In this shared belief, many hearts reside,  That mortality is distant, a truth denied. When a soul departs, eyes seek earthly gain,  A misguided pursuit, in loss and in pain.  Yet, the wisdom lies in the quiet breath,  Life's temporary nature, a dance with death. In the face of loss, the common refrain,  "I'll live without you," the heart's silent strain.  As if time stretches in limitless grace,  Forgetting life's brevity, the finite space. The essence of departure, a fierce guide,  Teaching that possessions in life subside.  Not truly ours, nor yours, nor their own,  In the dance with mortality, seeds are sown. Let not death be viewed through a narrow lens,  A reminder intense, as life transcends.  All that we claim, all we hold so dear,  Temporary echoes, in the cosmic sphere. ...

I have always been very strong, all my life. I am grateful to God for that. Even when I was ever hurt, or injured, or crying, I was still strong. I have never known being weak. I draw my power from the faith I have in the plan of my Creator for me. I know, no matter what, God has my back. I know that I literally have angels around me to protect me from harm, all the time. I know that when ever I was sad and alone, I came across some angel on the streets, no matter which part of the world I was in. I have been strong, I am strong and I will, by the grace of God, be strong in the life ahead. I know that there's always something to be grateful for. I know that every cloud has a silver lining and that every night ends in a day.  When I see sad people, I see their potential to be happy. When I see people who have failed, I see their potential to succeed.

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

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.

Do not make life more difficult than it already is. You do not get a chance to live, if you keep judging and thinking. If life gives you a chance, do not ever waste it finding excuses for why it should not be or why it should be any different than it is. Life is all about doing the impossible, daring and living what others think you cannot do or live. Life is about deciding and sticking to your decisions. The dead in spirit do not decide. It is not sad to die physically, but it is tragic to die in spirit. Keeping your spirit alive is counted as success. Over burdening yourself with the thoughts of how things should be or how they should not be, is denying yourself the right to live, enjoy, learn and grow. Take life by the horns !

When we all have to die one day, then why waste so much time in learning about that which we do not even need to learn about. Eat, shit, sleep and die. Sometimes education feels like a waste of time. Why not just be born and then live in the woods and die in peace. Just get this damn life over with. The sooner the better.

As "today" is coming to an end, I come back to life and realize that I skipped one whole day in my life. I remained in the realms of sleep; a temporary death for hours and hours. I do not remember anything other than the words, "I am the brother of death", from spending the past many hours in the valley of death.

Many people tend to complicate their lives. They find some kinda fun in doing that. I consider that an illness of the mind. Keep things straight and simple. Sometimes we may even find ourselves in complicated relationships. Just ask yourself; do relationships really have to be complicated? Do things around us really have to be complicated? Why do things get complicated? How do they get complicated? It happens only when we can't let go of what we should let go of. When we can't find the time to attend to a situation or a problem, and keep putting it off. When we don't solve a problem on time, it definitely gets complicated. Problems keep piling up, and that is how you end up in a mess. So just try to find a solution to things on time. The sooner the better. Do not putt off things till tomorrow.

The depth of life matters more than the length of life. Just like quality is more significant than quantity. The quality of our life can also be measured by how deep we understand it. We would rather live in peace with our surroundings having love in our hearts for our fellow beings, than living longer with hate in our hearts and creating mischief in the world. Even when it comes to relationships, I believe that length does not matter as much as depth does, and depth does not depend on length. It seems as if we cannot live without a specific relation in life, and it seems to matter alot, even though it is troubled and it kills you each day. The truth is that the length of time you have been acquainted with someone makes you get used to that relation, even if it is not a healthy one, and there is no way to fix it, you still feel like it cannot be replaced. For you to be more productive and lead a quality life, where you can add to beautifying the world and your surroundings, it is very...
