Traumatic Break-Up

Traumatic Break-Up “Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.”But are tears enough to chase away the pain of a break up?Most of us have been there. Some of us are there. And for sure, many of us will be there in the future. When the person you are in love with suddenly leaves you, you may think that your whole identity is shattered, and that you will never recover from the pain - but keep in mind, the sun will rise again, sooner or later. The emotional, spiritual and physical connection established in a relationship can be a beautiful experience for both individuals. From the first look until our relationship ends, we establish a connection with the person we love on some many levels. Finding that one person, our soul mate, to share our lives with is often a difficult task to achieve. As a result, and unfortunately, it is a reality that many hearts are broken before we are blessed with the one special person we trust and love for the remainder of our lives.

A lovely lesson for life

A lovely lesson for life A student asks a teacher: What is love? The teacher said: in order to answer your question, go to the paddy field and choose the biggest paddy and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick. The student went to the field, got thru first row...... he saw one big paddy, but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the paddy field, he realized that the paddy is not as big as the previous ones he saw, he knows he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up going back to the teacher with empty hand. The teacher told him, this is love... you keep looking for a better one, but later you realize, you have already missed the person The student asked: What is marriage then? The teacher said: In order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the big

Mind Set

Mind Set As I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. I saw a trainer near by and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away." Well," he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free." I was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were. Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that

one drop at a time

Save the world, one drop at a time "INDIA and China at war - over water." Imagine this headline, loud and clear, in your favourite morning paper. Sounds far-fetched? Ecological experts say in the next 50 years, countries may be reduced to war over the natural resource key to human survival. The danger is nearer than we all think. That mandatory glass of cool water after a hot, sveltering day might be harder to come by. Only 1 percent of total water on our planet is available for drinking. The world human population has tripled in the last century, and the consumption of fresh water has increased sevenfold. The amount of water available for each human has fallen by 40% over the period of four decades. Two out of five inhabitants of the planet experience difficulty in obtaining water. Around 200 million Indians do not have access to safe and clean water. United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) predicts that India will be severly stressed for water by 2025. World Wildlife Fu

Attempt to think

Many years ago in a small Indian village, A farmer had the misfortune Of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The Moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful Daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his Daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the Proposal. So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let Providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black Pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would Have to pick one pebble from the bag. 1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. 2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. 3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As They talked, the moneylend

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

FOOD FOR THOUGHT Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate? A Message by George Carlin: The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to
