Tolerance and Mankind

A man is an intelligent soul, and with that comes feelings, opinions and different ways to express that thought.

Some might take it well while some would object it or there would be a handful who would just ignore it.

That's understandable!

After all it boils down to the man being a brilliant, well-informed being so, he has the right to have his beliefs.

These ideas could be good for some while bad for a few and ugly for a handful.

Not everyone will agree, which makes us all distinct even though we all possess the same number of appendages, but the use of them depends on how our brain thinks thus action is dependable on the thoughts.

Now, what really marvels me is that in spite of so many ideas, concepts, theories, speculations this planet is holding about a billion humans who no doubt fight, argue, and even kill over narrow and trivial issues. But when dark black clouds blow away we can inhale the air of positivity, the willingness to help thy brethren who have either got injured physically or emotionally.

Aha! The power of speech, huh!



Speech no doubt is the expression of what we are! Speech is the outlet for happiness, sorrow, and all the good, bad and ugly things we are observing on this planet. But, without it there would be no life, no spirit as we all would be roaming around like zombies!

What I'm really trying to say is that Tolerance is the key to enjoying the bounties that Life has in store for all of us.

Wear the sheet of fortitude to be able to let go when you do not agree with someone!
Have the patience to listen to someone out.
Have the endurance to bear the brunt while letting go!

Mantra for today: Tolerance towards someone starts with us!

Blame it on Technology?


20th Century

"Riya don't waste your time talking aimlessly over the phone." requests mom as she continues, "Go back to finishing your homework."

"Yes Mom" replied Rita meekly as she quickly hangs up, and goes to her books.
Once finished, she helps out her mom by laying the table for dinner. Also helps cleaning up once done.

 21st Century

"Riya please don't waste your time texting. It would be good if you could finish your homework, you will have more time to watch TV or play video games" requests mom

Riya makes a face, but then ponders over what mom just said, and then puts the phone away while uttering a silent swear under her breath!


Takes her own sweet time to finish her work, and soon Mom is calling out to her, "Riya dinner is ready!"

"Nah, I don't feel like eating"comes a prompt reply

"What happened?" asks an anxious mom

"I just don't like what's on the menu, mom" she replies with anger, and yells, "How many times have I told you, I don't like this vegetable. Ugggh!"





Mom rolls her eyes while coming to terms with her anger, she pulls out a frozen pizza and puts it in the oven. "In my days, I've never had the courage to talk to my parents like this" she said out loud with the hope that her daughter listens.

Peeps in her room to find her wearing headphones and swinging her head back n forth to the music playing in her ears.

My 2 cents
Blame it on the technology that man's behavior is going down the gutters.
He is so self-absorbed by the gadgets that he doesn't care for the flesh that is right there next to him who can actually give him emotional and mental support.

Mantra for today: Man is advancing by inventions, but is throwing the quality of being a human in the dungeon.

Love for mankind

Imagine yourself walking on a lonely street in broad daylight; it sure would give you the creeps!
But the same street if inhabited by a few other humans, even though you don't know them; you are quite comfortable and continue to tread upon your journey!

Man is a social animal, and even though we are not acquainted with those million faces, we are just comfortable around their company.

As a kid, I was surrounded by tons of such familiar and unfamiliar faces. All the credit goes to my dad!

Result: I never really got the time to be mindful of my actions cause they were right there, anywhere I would turn left or right...they would be next to me telling me of my faults or appreciating my milestones.
Sure, it used to get overwhelming when I needed my space especially as a teen, but then my father would repeatedly advice about humanity and its various benedictions.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Mahatma Gandhi


His faith in mankind and relationships was numero uno!

He used to go out of his way to help his family when in need, did not even spare a dime when it came to his friends in need. His belief was that the humanity needed love and compassion, or else we would go extinct thus, always stressed on helping when in need!

He was such a loving soul that prior to departing from his body; he handed out bills to those who aided him in the hospital while he was bedridden cause of his stage 4 Prostate Cancer diagnosis.

A Generous Heart, Kind Speech And A Life Of Service and compassion are a few things that renew humanity.
Dalai Lama

His belief in humanity was actually too much for me to handle, in fact overwhelming but then when I saw the number of people turn up at his funeral...it was alarming, and then to top it all listen to all their stories of how just this one soul impacted them...was mind-blowing that gives me goosebumps, till date!

Mantra for today: Love the human race since you are one of them!

A Relationship between Stress and Man

Stress lately has been blamed for a number of things. This noun gives jitters to an individual when it is upon someone. Side-effects are Sleepless nights, restless mind, which could eventually lead to diseases.

Thus, making stress a very ugly sight or a situation to be. However, I feel that man ought to have a  degree of stress to be successful.

Seriously?

Yes, we need it cause if we would not stress over things or issues, we would be lethargic, careless and sluggish.

The concept of money makes man sweat to get his daily wages. This money helps an individual get his basic necessities that help him survive. Food, clothes, and shelter are some of the essential commodities that make man venture into the wild world, which lays pressure on the physical and mental well being of a person.

At the end of a hard working day, man ought to relieve his tensions. This stress can be washed off with laughter and tears. Thus, concluding that stress helps man to perform well, and earn his primary living.

However, man ought to be smart to be able to use stress to his advantage. Stress can be a good servant for man, but it can turn hazardous if it becomes a master of a man.

Man ought to control the reins of stress as he trots on the road to cognizance.

Mantra for today: If Man uses Stress Cautiously, he can Learn to be Satisfied.

End of the World Date

According to the Mayan Calender,  today is the day when the world will end by  mass destruction. However, NASA has researched into it and does not see an  asteroid moving towards our planet, thus debunking that myth.

I don't know how the day will end, but there was speculation over the millennium, as well. People thought that the world will end on January 1st 2000, but we ALL survived.

But, media can make people go frenzy over this issue, and there are people around the globe trying to seclude themselves so that they can survive this catastrophe.

12/21/2012

So, what does this date have in store for us?
This date could be the end to mankind or it could also be the beginning of a journey for mankind.

We could either live in fear or we could treat it to be the end to a war, crime, hatred all over the planet.

Humanity has experienced a lot of war, natural calamities, misery, crime, tears and ugliest of incidents. This date could be the end of all the above and the start of a new journey.

This journey could be made up of  love, understanding, humanity and every conscious effort by every man to improve himself.

Conscious effort when made, will take us places, and we will see a positive change in our surroundings, which will be, transmitted all over the community, city, town, country and the world. This bug when spreads will be viral. Fortunately this is a good virus, and this could be the beginning of a new era!


Mantra for today: Spread the virus of positivity.
