Animals..




Animals are a big part of our world. They have their own lives and communities, but humans interfere with them. Nowadays, animals and humans face a problem with living space because humans are destroying forests and entering the homes of animals. Due to this, animals sometimes attack humans.

The only difference between animals and humans is language. Both have a language, but animals understand human language while humans don't understand theirs. Humans often think about their own benefits. They kill and eat animals, and even conduct experiments on them because animals cannot speak or express their feelings.

Why do we eat animals? Don't we have land to grow grains, rice, or other foods? Don't we have rivers for drinking water? Don't we have enough land to live on Earth? We have everything, but humans prefer to live near forests for easy access to resources. Humans are more selfish than animals. Animals rarely leave the forest in search of food, but humans always interfere with the lives of animals in the forest. I believe every living creature has a right to live on this earth. It's not necessary to kill and eat animals; people can grow food instead, but human needs vary.

When killing animals, do we ever think they have a soul just like us? Humans feel the same pain when someone kills another human. Imagine being in the place of that animal for just 5 seconds, and you'll get an answer. Animals don't want to harm humans, but humans, as social animals, kill and interfere with their lives. It hurts when a human relative or friend dies, but do we ever think that animals also have families and friends? Animals feel pain when humans kill their family members, but humans aren't interested in understanding this. Humans seek only enjoyment. I read somewhere that a person who eats meat has a stomach like a mortuary.

Be aware. Put yourself in the place of an animal and feel the pain. Then, you'll find your answer whether humans should kill animals or not.

Teacher....

 

Teachers, whether we call them Teacher, Sir, Mem, Faculty, or Tutor, play a crucial role in our lives by imparting knowledge and guiding us toward a better future.

The term "teacher" is one we use from an early age throughout our academic journey and beyond. While the definition of a teacher has evolved, some educators remain dedicated to their work. It's essential to understand that societal changes influence how teachers operate today.

In the past, teachers had the authority to discipline students. However, in today's world, if a teacher takes such action, students often involve their parents or report the issue to the school administration. Some might even perceive a teacher as ineffective based on their teaching style. It's important to recognize that teachers have their unique ways of imparting knowledge.

Sometimes, students may not appreciate a teacher's methods or struggle to understand the concepts being taught. In such cases, students might skip classes or switch to different batches. Despite this, teachers always have the students' best interests at heart.

Sadly, the value placed on teachers today is not as high as it used to be. Teachers were once considered the builders of society, capable of making the world a better place. However, changing expectations and societal shifts have altered this perception.

Being the son of a teacher is considered a blessing. It brings the advantage of parental care along with the care and guidance of teachers. In my life, teachers have played a vital role, motivating me to contribute positively to society. My teachers have been instrumental in shaping my values and understanding of life.

From the early years of my education, teachers have influenced me positively. They laid the foundation for essential life skills during my primary education. In later years, I gained academic knowledge and insights into life. During my university years, I faced uncertainties about my future. In post-graduation, I learned valuable lessons that extended beyond the typical student experience. The two years of post-graduation provided me with a wealth of experiences and teachings from my faculty members.

I hold deep respect for teachers, not just because I am the son of a teacher, but for numerous other reasons that highlight their significant impact on our lives. Rupen

પંખીડા ને આ પિંજરુ.....


પંખીડા ને આ પિંજરુ જુનુ જુનુ લાગે બહુ એ સમજવાયુ તો પણ પંખી નવુ પીંજુ માંગે.. (મનહર ઉધાસ)



Incredible words by Mr. Manhar Udhas beautifully express the true nature of life. In his perspective, "Pankhidu" signifies the soul or spirit.

Who would willingly choose to die? The answer is simple – no one. When a person begins a new life, it involves detaching from the past and gradually forming connections in the present. Newborns often cry and feel overwhelmed, but if they could communicate from the start, the stories they might tell could be quite revealing, potentially leaving others traumatized.

I strongly believe that human babies don't speak immediately after birth or in the first two years because it might be overwhelming for others to comprehend the complexities of their past lives. In contrast, animals instinctively know how to communicate with their mothers for food and survival from day one.

Let's explore the journey of an ordinary boy from birth to death.

Ages 1 - 10 Years: Early Life

Life and death are integral parts of our existence, and navigating both requires understanding what life is and how to live it. Simplicity is the key to embracing life; it's challenging but essential. Humans have countless needs, and the struggle to fulfill them is ongoing.

Life is unpredictable, and nobody knows what might happen at any given moment. Despite knowing this, maintaining relationships with fellow humans proves difficult. Acknowledging this challenge, the author reflects on the complexity of following through with intentions. Dreams of an Audi car, a beautiful partner, a nice house, and a good life seem achievable, but when faced with setbacks, people often accept defeat and abandon their aspirations.

For those seeking a simpler life, the author proposes the following guidelines:

  1. Stay Positive
  2. Trust in God
  3. Believe that God will not let you down
  4. Recognize that if God gave you life, there is a purpose for it
  5. Remain calm in every situation
  6. Embrace a simple and straightforward lifestyle

While these principles are easy to articulate, the author acknowledges the difficulty in implementing them in real life. Wanting to lead a simple life is one thing; living it is a considerable challenge.

Wife of God!!

Once upon a time, in very cold winter weather with lots of snow falling everywhere, there was a young boy about 10 or 11 years old. He stood outside a shop, wearing torn clothes and no shoes, feeling very cold. The boy hadn't eaten anything for two days and was hungry. He was looking at something inside the shop, and it was shoes and some food that could help him stay warm.

Despite feeling tired and hungry, the boy kept standing outside the shop, praying to God. He asked God to send someone quickly because he couldn't bear the cold anymore, with tears in his eyes. Just then, a kind lady approached him and asked what he was looking at. The boy explained that he had prayed to God for someone to help him with food and shoes because he was really struggling in the cold.

The lady found this strange but took the boy inside the shop. She spoke to the storekeeper about getting shoes and a warm jacket for the boy. She also took him to a restaurant and gave him bread, chocolate, and other food to eat. The boy felt incredibly happy after receiving the warm jacket, food, and shoes.

After helping the boy, the lady left the store. The storekeeper was curious and asked the boy if he knew who the lady was. Surprisingly, the boy said yes.

Confused, the storekeeper asked, "How do you know her? She owns the shop. Why would she know a street child like you?"

The boy smiled and said, "I prayed to God for someone to give me food and shoes. God sent that lady, and she is God's wife!"

INDIA .....and LAW



The importance of law cannot be overstated in the context of nations worldwide. It serves as the foundation for building strong societies, which, in turn, contribute to the formation of robust nations. However, constructing a formidable legal framework is a challenging endeavor. Consider a scenario where India attempts to enact a more stringent law in parliament – a move that could potentially result in the incarceration of a significant portion of its ministers. This reluctance to pass a 'Jan Lokpal Bill' or establish a potent legal infrastructure is a key hindrance, as many politicians, across party lines, are plagued by corruption, driven by the singular pursuit of wealth.

Media, a powerful force in India and globally, plays a pivotal role in shaping public opinion. It can elevate individuals to hero status or reduce them to 'zero.' Figures like Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare, driven by a genuine desire to contribute to the nation, advocate for crucial reforms such as the Jan Lokpal Bill and addressing issues like black money. Unfortunately, the government appears indifferent, displaying a blindness to the calls for change.

The current scenario witnesses numerous politicians and common people embroiled in scandals, only to secure bail shortly after. This highlights the inadequacies in the legal system. An empowered legal infrastructure could potentially transform India into a global superpower. However, when individuals ascend to political or bureaucratic positions, they often seem to believe that the law bends to their will.

The prevalence of such attitudes raises concerns about the direction India is heading. The common man and the media find themselves powerless in the face of such circumstances. There is a pervasive sense of helplessness.

Yet, amid the challenges, there remains a glimmer of hope. It is the hope that, someday, the legal system in India will evolve into a robust force, paving the way for the nation to be recognized as a powerful force on the global stage, driven by the strength and integrity of its people.
