  • Emptiness

    Emptiness

    Life is sweet in it fullnesss
    The assumption of it is oblivion
    The past we can’t nevertheless change
    The present we accept
    But the future we never know
    We move with the wave of time
    We assume,we make predictions
    But the full knowledge we never have
    We live life in a void

    A kind of emptiness we feel everyday
    The next step in journey of life
    We never know .
    At times you struggle hard to do something
    It fails
    But many a time, you get it easily done without delay
    At times you struggle hard to get it.

    You feel like doing something great
    But you don’t know how or
    Where to start and begin
    The choice is yours either to sit down
    Or build yourselves to a greater person
    And allow time to take charge
    Human struggle is nothing
    Without God..
    At the edge of every human success is God.

  • The invisible hand

    The invisible hand

    The universe is full of wonders, some are obvious at sight, some are conceived in our minds, some as a result of unresolved puzzle of mysteries, some by eventualities of dreadful events. The wisdom and knowledge of our sages and scholars are sometimes embarrassed which makes it more traumatizing for people with faith to wonder why some would come to conclusion that, ” arguably, there’s God ”.

    But alas! Humans have the freedom and right to choose whatever he believes in. There is scientific explanation for almost every occurrence that is there to think about; like what keeps the oceans at its banks, what orchestrated the various landscape we have, the funny slopes of some mountains, the lightning, the thunder, the rain, the sun, the stars, the absence of some of them sometimes, and what regulate them.

    The debate of God’s existence or not is a typical one that may not be won on either side. Nevertheless, there’s one essential factor we all trivialize despite knowing its importance and ability to change the mentality of any mortal being when its wall collapsed our health. It’s never a big deal when intact, a man can vow, vouch, threaten, prove, demonstrate and convince several thousand even millions to think from his perspective to accept a policy, a doctrine, a religion, a thesis or even a judgment. But the moment his health fails, nothing else in the entire world matters much to him anymore, as they are secondary to his real need. 

    At some point, a sick person irrespective of his belief in God, questions the supposed Supreme being, questions the universe, questions their own subconscious being, seek spiritual aid and hopes for a miracle. The expertise of the doctors means nothing to the patients at those points… Their wealth, achievements and past glory hold no water. Even the poorest of all men who had lived a life full of hardship would still hope for this miracle and hang on to life. But does that make health the so-called God? Oh NO! What about the miracle in quote? 

    Why are humans always submissive at the loss of their health? Why do they shift grounds at those moments? Why do they tend to give room for more love and affection with their family members and friends at those critical moments? Of all questions, that is valid, ” Is there God ” should never have been one of those but if you ask me if God is an entity, I wouldn’t have an answer to give you because, in every single thing around you, there’s always one thing beyond your explanation, understanding or description. 

    LOVE OTHERS WHEN YOU STILL CAN. 

  • Adultism

    Adultism

    Adultism just like childism, ageism, are discrimination against a particular set or oppression of people based on the age group the victims belong to. It is an indirect and mental attacks, mapping out how they should behave, communicate, react, dress by the majority group with social power and privilege whom fall outside the victims age bracket.

    Adultism according to a source could be explained as behaviors and attitudes based on the assumption that adults are better than young people, and entitled to act upon young people without their permission or agreement. This treatment is reinforced by social institutions , parents and organizational structures,who often abuse the power that adults have over their children.

  • Reminiscing Life: When you can…

    Reminiscing Life: When you can…

    When you can dream but dreams do not control you;
    When you think but you go beyond thoughts to actions.
    When you can keep your head high, when all is falling around you;
    And the voices keep telling you are not good enough.
    Trusting yourself when all men doubt you, nevertheless;
    their doubts make you strife better.

  • The what’s next moment…

    The what’s next moment…

    What do you do when you don’t know the next step to take, have you come to an end of a crossroad and you are like ‘oops’ what next awaits me?

    For students, they generally suffer from what I refer to as Post Graduate Stress disorder (I don’t know if that exists) especially when you are the go-getter, excellent grade, hardworking type of student.

    It is a time when one’s identity shifts into something bigger. In fact, it is the point of switching from the regular student life to the work environment and stepping more fully into the adult world. As I mused about this, I realized it also affected so many young people. Through my search, I bumped into the perfect story in Dale Carnegie, How to stop worrying and Start living and it goes as follow: 

    “In the spring of 1871, a young man picked a book and read twenty-one words that had a profound effect on his future. A medical student at the Montreal General Hospital, he was worried about passing the final examination, worried about what to do, where to gon how to build up a practice, how to make a living.

    The twenty-one words helped him to become the most famous physician of his generation. He organized the world famous John Hopkins School of Medicine, he became Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford- the highest honor that can be bestowed upon any medical man in the British Empire. He was knighted by the King Of England. When he died, two huge volumes containing 1446 pages were required to tell the story of his life.

    His name was Sir William Osler. Here are the twenty-one words that he read in the spring of 1871- twenty-one words from Thomas Carlyle that helped him lead a life free of worry

    Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand” 

    So this point here is the euphoria we need, it could be related to almost anything in life. Enjoying every moment of the transition period. Doing perfectly whatever you find at hand, being faithful in the small thing and thereby you are building up the muscles to what lies ahead.
