Just a thought

I think the more I read about the Darfur conflict , the more convinced I am that if there is anything called heaven or hell its right here, on earth. If you had to suffer for the crimes you committed you might as well be left on a peice of land where people never see an end to their suffering.

Rape , murder, child abuse, hunger, poverty - I dont think it could get any worse and I also dont think anyone deserves it no matter how cruel one has been. God is merciful he isnt spiteful. It is us.


Just a thought...


Things that should matter to us but they don't :

Corruption
Pollution
Environment
Poverty
Child Labor
Child Abuse
Racism/Discrimination
Domestic Violence

Things that matter to us but they Shouldn't :

Caste
Morality
Religion
Censorships
Greed
Profit
Corporate Ladder
Next New Car

World is the only thing we would leave for our children, Are these the values we want them to have?

It's a good thing

I learnt a lesson and I learnt it the hard way. I can wave and rant and go on but I choose to write down the good part about it so here goes …

Its a good thing

To be hurt at times: You remember the feeling for a long time to come

To be positive: As at a cross road you meet someone who warms up at your smile

To be strong: Because you need it to carry things that other people trust you with

To be grounded: Because you may win this time, you may want to next time but you possibly may not win each time

To play with kids: Soon you realize you have a lot more in common with them.

To be understanding: The sooner you realize there was a reason the faster you know the control was not in your hands

To be supportive: As sometimes your mere presence can work wonders for their self confidence

To be flexible: For everyone will at some point of time demand your time

To look into their eyes: Then those myriad pools can no longer hold on to their murky colors.

Finally,

It’s good to lend a hand: because that’s the power of human touch. Everyone needs it at some point of time….
