Human Emotions

There is a huge list of human emotions that we are capable of experiencing. However often times we only experience a very limited number of emotions.

It is always the same few ; happiness, anger, love, confidence, anxiety, stress, relaxed. Ask people what emotions do they experience in a week and they'll invariably say those common emotions.

The more type of emotions we feel, the more colorful our life experience will be. It is not that we can't experience a wide array of emotions, rather it is because we often label different emotions into a common group like happy or sad that we forget to experience that emotion for what it is.

Take happy. There is happy, ecstatic, cheerful, relax, exited, exhilarated etc. All those emotions are unique in their own way but we usually label it as happy. By doing that we unintentionally take away it's characteristics and thus take away our experience.

Hope is Life

Lots of problems have been solved gradually and now it is clear that the thing that is glittering is really pure gold. After struggling with the hurdles throughout the road and facing tensions from all sides I am amazed that how could I came to this point.  Thinking about all the facets of life I knew that I made it heavy by suppression of emotions because I was so sensitive and never wanted to hurt anybody. This attitude was fatal and damaging my all relationships and it was hard to find the cause behind it. This attitude and lack of awareness about own surrounding I thought to be isolated but it could not work. After exploring insight and outside I saw a glittering point far away and it was enough in that darkness. Now my thoughts and decision worked perfectly and I am prepared for the final experience of light after a long dark path. 

Life is nothing without hope so keep hope, believe in yourself make your own path of life. 

World Malaria Day

April 25 is World Malaria Day.

A disease that has affected the world and its people since the beginning of recorded human history, malaria remains an entrenched global health challenge. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), approximately half of the world's population is at risk.

But the global geography of malaria is increasingly disproportionate. The vast majority of malaria cases and malaria-related deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa, which the director-general of the WHO, Margaret Chan, has called "the heartland of malaria." Meanwhile, "outside Africa, the malaria map is shrinking, as more and more countries eliminate malaria from their territory," says Chan.

Malaria's victims are also disproportionately children: the United Nations children's fund (Unicef) estimates that 85 percent of those who die from malaria are children under 5 years of age.

Inner Strngth

If you have a goal in life that takes a lot of energy, that requires a lot of work, that incurs a great deal of interest and that is a challenge to you, you will always look forward to waking up to see what the new day brings.

Minds are conquered not by arms, but by love and magnanimity.

Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don't stay on the bumps too long. Move on!

When the veil of darkness has draped itself around your life and concealed the tears of your pain and despair, when the destiny you had envisaged has all but faded like water amongst the golden sands of the desert, when you stand alone in your hour of adversity and need and no-one is willing to stand beside you, when the battles within your life are on the verge of defeat and ruin, when you are in exile within your own mind, when your heart is empty and is merely watered by the tears of your agonized and anguished soul.
When you feel like a bird caged behind bars which once flew high above snow capped mountains free and unhindered and now reach out to touch the essence of your dreams, when tears and sorrow have embraced your soul, when the temples of your dreams lie in ashes like the ruins of an ancient age gone by and there are no traces of your footsteps within the valley of your dreams.
When the haunting silence of the darkness hangs like a shadow within the depths of your heart. When you cling like a child to the dreams of yesterday, when the light of dawn refuses to appear and the sun refuses to shine, when each day has become an eternal struggle to survive.
When is no light amongst the darkness within your existence, when your wounds cry out to be healed, when fear has held courage ransom, when your soul stands in solitude and loneliness choking on its tears of isolation under a moon which no longer smiles and no longer yearns to gaze at his children; the stars, when all those around you have betrayed you, when love has left your heart and refuses to return.
When you no longer believe in yourself, when pain and grief are your constant companions, when there is no vision within the mists of your agony, when no one is willing to listen to and understand you, when peace seems to be in a distant world, when life no longer has the belief to run within your veins, when you have become a fugitive within your own mind and shackled like a slave within your own insanity, refuse with every last drop of sacred blood within your bruised and battered body, to surrender your soul to the pains of your existence.
You must believe in yourself-even if all those around you doubt you and in your ability to rise from within the insanity in which your life now finds itself and to stand tall against the obstacles and challenges within your life-and you will conquer all that you believe cannot be conquered and all that which you believed you had lost within your life.It is from the darkest hours of our lives, from the depths of our despair and pain and in our greatest hour of adversity that we find an inner strength, an inner courage and an inner meaning so vast that it enables us to rise from our knees and stand tall and fight that which has made us weak.
Just as water runs from a stream, as the oak tree grows strong and upright, as snow-the softest and most peaceful of natures elements-covers the most fierce of mountains and tames its anger portraying it merely as a pawn within the hands of nature so new life and meaning will emerge from your own inner source.

A Day to Celebrate Earth

A Day to Celebrate Earth

Earth Day is the largest, most widely celebrated international environmental event. Earth Day helps celebrate Earth’s unique place in the universe. It is the only planet in our solar system teeming with incredible biodiversity. Learning about and protecting this biodiversity is what Earth Day is all about. People all over the world celebrate our efforts to protect plants and animals and to clean up the world we live in. Most people celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd each year. In some countries, it is celebrated a month earlier on the vernal equinox.

The First Earth Day:Senator Gaylord Nelson of the United States founded Earth Day. Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970 in the United States. Across the United States, 20 million people and thousands of local schools and communities participated in the first Earth Day. The huge turnout for the first Earth Day made it the largest organized celebration in the history of the United States. Earth Day’s success helped influence the government of the United States to create stronger laws to protect the environment.

Earth Day Goes International :On March 21, 1971, United Nations (UN) Secretary-General U Thant made Earth Day an international celebration. He spoke about it at a Peace Bell Ceremony at the United Nations in New York City. The United Nations Earth Day ceremony continues each year on the day of the vernal equinox (March 20th or 21st), with the ringing of the UN Peace Bell at the very moment of the equinox.

In 1990, the first official International Earth Day was celebrated. About 200 million people from 141 nations took part in a celebration of environmental conservation.

Earth Day reminds us we all share the same planet. Sharing Earth means taking responsibility for what we use and how we use it. It is a day to think of the environmental challenges we face and how to solve them. Protecting Earth is every person’s and every country’s responsibility. 

Making Earth-friendly Choices : There are many different things each of us can do to help protect species, keep Earth clean, and fix damage that has been done. For example, using fewer natural resources will help make sure there are enough resources to go around. It will also help make sure that future generations won’t run out of the things we all need, like clean water, air, and soil. 

When we don’t use resources in a responsible way, we may create pollution that can damage water, soil, air, and other parts of the environment. For instance, certain types of air pollution have already created a hole in our planet’s ozone layer. The ozone layer is part of the atmosphere. It is made up of a special gas called ozone. The ozone layer helps keep us safe from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays.

Most scientists believe that as more air pollution is made, the ozone layer will become thinner and more holes will develop. This will allow even more ultraviolet rays to reach Earth. A thinner ozone layer may result in harm to people, animals, and plants. 

Along with pollution, things like habitat destruction and poaching are causing some species to become endangered. Finding ways to protect and save endangered species is a primary goal of conservation groups. Earth Day celebrations are a great opportunity for these groups to teach us all about the planet and how every person can make a difference.

View of life

 प्रकृति का नियम है कि हमारे द्वारा किये गए किसी भी काम (चाहे पाप हो या पुण्य हो ) उसका परिणाम बराबर मात्रा में मिलता है ! इसलिए हर काम सोच समझकर करना चाहिए कि उसका क्या प्रतिफल होगा ! हम चाहे कितने भी जतन कर लें पर भगवान (ईश्वर) से और अपने आप के मन से कुछ भी नहीं छुपा रहता है इसलिए जितना ज्यादा हो सके सकारात्मक कार्य ही करें जिससे ज्यादा भला हो किसी का बुरा न हो !दुनिया इतनी बड़ी है कि इसमें हमारी हस्ती न के बराबर है , क्यूंकि आँखों भर आकाश और बांहों भर संसार नहीं होता और विस्तृत होता है !

Unforgetable tribute

कैसे वो दूसरों का जीवन बचाते हैं अपनी जान पर की परवाह भी नहीं करते ! जो बेचारे  जानलेवा मुसीबतों  में घिरके केवल मौत का इंतज़ार करते रहते हैं, उनको जो बचाके ले आता है उसे देवतुल्य समझते हैं ! वो अपने और उसके मरने पर उसके अपनों का क्या होगा  ये नहीं सोचता ऐसे लोगों को भुलाया नहीं जा सकता ! ये सिपाही होते हैं जो रक्षा करते हैं सरहद हो या देश के भीतर हो वीर कहलाते हैं ! इनके किस्से कहानियों को इसलिए याद करते हैं क्योंकि ये अपने स्वार्थ के लिए नहीं दूसरों की रक्षा के लिए अपना और अपनों का ख्याल तक नहीं रखते ! इनके समर्पण और शहादत को वो ही सबसे ज्यादा समझता है जो इनसे जुड़ा हो और जिनको ये बचाते हैं ! और सबसे बड़ा वज्रपात उन सिपाहियों के परिवार पे होता है जिनपर पूरा परिवार आश्रित होता है अचानक सब कुछ खत्म हो गया प्रतीत होता है भविष्य भी शुन्य नज़र आता है ! क्योंकि बाहरी लोग तो दिलासा देके चले जाते हैं फिर उसके परिवार को क्या मिला इसे नहीं देखते ! रिश्तेदार, यार-दोस्त भी छोड़ देते हैं !आज कुछ ऐसे ही याद कीया !

Behind Curtain

कब तक सामना होगा सत्य से जिसके बारे में शहर में चर्चा है! याद नहीं आता मुझे ये सच था या छलावा! क्यों छुपा हुआ है आखिर वो सब जो जगजाहिर है ? महसूस होता है कि मुझे अब नहीं सोचना चाहिए दूसरों के बारे में पहले अपना और अपने लोगों का हित देखना चाहिए ! परहित कि भावना सकारात्मक है और मैंने तो अपनी चिंता छोड़ के दुसरे मुसीबतजदा लोगों की मदद  की बगैर किसी लालच के शायद गलत किया लगता है तभी मुझे परेशां होना पड़ रहा है ! किसी के लिए आत्मसम्मान जरुरी होता है किसी के लिए पैसा जरुरी होता है तो किसी के लिए दिखावा जरुरी होता है ! कैसे नहीं समझ पाते हैं लोग किसी की सदाशयता को और गैरजरूरी नकारात्मक व्यवहार करते हैं और सद्व्यवहार का मजाक उड़ाते हैं ? छोटी छोटी बातें कैसे बतंगड़ बन जाती हैं और कैसे कई बार बड़ी बड़ी बातों का कोई मोल नहीं होता ? हर ओर अपने बारे में सुनकर यही बात दिमाग में आती है की क्या कारण है इसके पीछे ? यक़ीनन गलत तो नहीं किया है फिर भी न जाने कुछ लोगों को हर बात में नफरत ही होती है, फिर भी सब को अपने कर्मों का फल भोगना ही पड़ता है ! कभी भी केवल सुनकर नहीं हर पहलु पर सोचकर स्वीकार करना चाहिए ताकि कभी अपने फैसलों पर पछताना न पड़े ! सीधे रास्ते जीने ही नहीं देना चाहते !

The Unexpected Way

Life is making some changes and there are many dubious themes, it's really difficult to decide  which one is real and which is dream.   

Sometimes, when you give everything for any pure purpose and finds nothing in return even circumstances displays that you are not the person who accomplished that specific mission. But it must not happen with anyone, I pray.

 

Garden of Dreams

I found myself in a garden of dreams
Lost with no self-esteem or love
Shedding tears for lost passion-heartbroken
Despair without hope from above.

I reached down inside to find myself
In my garden of dreams alone
Discovering weeds had taken over within
For tears in bitterness I’d sown.

Then one day when least expected
As I explored my garden of dreams
I prayed softly somehow for a ray of hope
For a miracle or so it seemed.

I went back through my garden of dreams
Began pulling weeds up one by one
Then found seedlings of faith still lived there
As I basked in the morning sun.

I discovered happiness is a choice you make
When looking inside yourself-so it seems
So keep watering tiny seeds of faith deep within
Soon flowers will bloom in your garden of dreams.

Human Values

The 21st century promises to be a time of scientific and technological growth at a level never before experienced in human history. This growth will either trigger chaos, disruption, war, starvation and disease or will introduce a period of humanistic cooperation, development, progress, and peace. What emerges will depend upon which values are embraced, taught, encouraged, and legislated. The value choices, which must be deliberately chosen and not left to chance, must be secular, global, and familial. The accepted values must be embraced, taught, encouraged, and supported internationally, nationally, locally, and personally. What is proposed here represents some of the value choices, the ethical building blocks, that will enable a world of peace and harmony to come into existence--a world in which human diversity is respected and tolerated and, at the same time, a world in which each individual will be enabled and encouraged to maximize his or her potential, without discrimination and in an atmosphere of freedom. What is required to bring about this idealized world is a democratic, pluralistic society which recognizes the human rights of each individual and in which no man or woman or class of men or women shall be demeaned and treated as mere slaves existing only to fulfill the desires of those who would be their masters; a world in which no man or woman or class of men or women shall be used as tools for the lusts of others, or for the ambitions of others, or for the greed of others, a world in which the life of every man and woman and child shall be recognized and esteemed as a unique and ultimate statement of the evolutionary process and therefore of inestimable value. To achieve and make real this concept of a world of peace for the 21st century the following humanistic values provide the basic essentials.

The values must be of the people, for the people, and by the people. They must embrace common moral decencies such as altruism, integrity, freedom, justice, honesty, truthfulness, responsibility, compassion, and must reflect the normative standards human beings discover and develop through living together. Value development must draw upon reason, science, the arts, and must express concern for justice and fairness and concern for the physical and mental well-being of every human being in an effort to maximize individual freedom without limiting the freedom of others.

As the first generation in human history to have viewed our planet from outer space, we have been made conscious of the uniqueness of this fragment of cosmic matter which we call "earth" that circles a rather small star (our sun) in an immense universe. So far as we know at this moment, we humans are the only intelligent, rational beings existing anywhere in the cosmos. Statistical estimates suggest that elsewhere planets circling stars may have produced other intelligent life forms, but at this moment we know nothing of these other life forms, despite the claims of those who say they have encountered extra-terrestrial beings. To the best of our knowledge, we are utterly alone in the universe and we are bound together by our habitation on this planet. Our value system must extend beyond national, ethnic, religious, territorial, and racial boundaries. Only a global ethic, a global humanistic value system that embraces the entire world will suffice for the 21st century.

Because humanistic values are pluralistic, a spirit of tolerance is primary. However, tolerance does not signify the ignoring of patterns of behavior that violate or infringe upon the rights and freedoms of others. Tolerance marks the recognition of the wide variety of human expression and patterns of living; it does not mean closing the eyes to injustice, cruelty, or the dehumanization of persons.

Humanistic global family values must be concerned with providing each member of the human family with the means to become involved in meaningful work, employment or efforts designed to promote the well-being of the entire human family.

A meaning-filled life is more than mere existence; it involves purpose, direction, and a sense of belonging. Humanistic family values embrace individual rights to autonomy, dignity, free choice, liberty, fraternity, the pursuit of happiness, and security. Our human family has devised a multitude of different ways to accomplish these goals through law, education, role modeling, as well as through words, acts, and symbols of encouragement and support. Each positive effort must be appreciated and inherent differences tolerated. To establish such values and the ethical standards that protect all human beings for the 21st century we must be prepared to learn from the past, evaluate the present, and project the highest and best that we know into our aspirations for the future. We must examine our values on the basis of international, national, and personal commitments.

What we do now is important. We must, each one of us, pledge ourselves to action in helping to move humankind towards a way of living where the humanistic family ethic overlays the nationalistic, linguistic, religious, and ethnic differences that separate us. We work toward the time when the world will be at peace and human energy will be focused on the needs and well-being of all members of a single family, a time when we will enjoy and celebrate our unique differences while exalting the importance of our human similarities, a time when we will acknowledge the basic human needs that unite us including our mutual concerns for the futures of our children, our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren who constitute the future.

Thought to reality

It is unbelievable that everyone is knowing about my deeds. The result itself shows that something optimistically done which definitely affect the mass. It's hard to define the line between rumor and truth. Deciding to confront whatever lies in tomorrow with all will power and concentration yet can not get rid of questions about life. 

Creating a space where thought meets reality.
