GIRL MEETS BELIEF

In 1425, Joan of Arc, a 13 y/o girl, believed that she heard the voice of God telling her to drive
the English out of France. Consequently, she was tried for witchcraft and heresy in 1431, at the age of 19.

Crazy, right? But what if she wasn't crazy and deeply believed in something? The greatest thinkers of the world believed in something so strongly that it changed the world. Different people have faith in different things. And that's ok-7% of the world population are convinced atheists. But that doesn't mean they don't have faith in other people, in a better world, in the mysteries of the universe. Some blindly trust a higher power, and others have faith in their morals and actions. I believe in people, and their confidence in a higher power, which makes me feel safe.

However, it is hard to develop strong credence, not just in ourselves but in the ancient and immortal God. People take years to search for their passion, the ideologies worth for them to fight for. In this complex world, with new innovations, evolving dogmas, surprising tenets, it is hard to maintain our faith in a person/thing because we don't always get what we desire and blame it on our higher power rather than our actions. It is a constant struggle where we are never sure of the result.

So why is it easy for some than others? I am still searching for an answer. I believe many abandon faith when circumstances are difficult and answers are slow in coming. Learning to trust takes practice because faith isn't maintained when we fail to see the reality behind our higher power and morals. Faith requires a vision; faith requires seeing with spiritual eyes. "For we live by faith, not by sight."(2 Corinthians 5:7 NIV). And of course, it also requires the perky "p" twins, perseverance, and patience.

Ah, and this leads to a question. We have all walked through life long enough, our blissfully empty heads. But what do you guys believe in? What is your calling? Who do you blindly trust? What ideologies are worth fighting for? No one has enough power to force you into believing something, but it is much harder to introspect ourselves.

COUNT THE NUMBER OF…..

Image
  Count the number of people you have met in your life. Just count. Count the shopkeeper who always grins at you no matter how much you bargain and the count the ablaze neighbor who will do nothing but curse at you every time you ring their doorbell just to make some memories to laugh at. And now think of how much they have influenced you. Can’t think of an answer? Same! I never realized that every time I walk into my classroom, the 46 familiar faces shape my thinking process even though half of them never talked to me. Every minute action action or emotion can make you jealous, joyous, astonished or hollow. Take a quick glance back at life and you will realize that your personality is a cloth woven by a unique set of thread that is every face you have ever seen. So, sit back and ponder, why you are successful or alone or rude or content and how they contributed to your and changed you as a person.

A BLACK CHECK IN OUR EMOTIONAL CHESSBOARD

Image
 Anger, anxiety, disgust, fear, horror, envy are some of the black squares of our emotional chessboard. Among them, fear is the most enigmatic emotion I ever experienced.  American Psychological Association defines fear as " An emotion involving immediate alarm reaction that mobilizes the organism by triggering a set of physiological changes including rapid heartbeat, redirection of blood flow away from the periphery toward the gut, tensing of the muscles and general mobilization of the organism to take action." Let's change the direction of the kaleidoscope and see beyond logic. Fear is the sharpest weapon of our subconsciousness to make us see the worst in all and give up. Fear is the society of the 90s that will judge you, make you self-doubt yourself, and make you give up every unconventional dream you had. Fear is the overthinking demon inside you. But if trepidation is all up in our heads, then why does it keep us at night? We get so caught up in our own worst-case ...

WHAT MAKES ONE AN ONION?

Image
  An onion……a vegetable used regularly in almost every house to cook food. A shade of somewhat mixed purple, pink, white, yellow or may be more – black when rotten! It has many layers; you find a new one every time you cut a little deeper. Same are the people, people you meet every day, in every phase of life….so yes, what makes one an onion? What makes one an onion is more than fifty shades of their soul and the layers of masks they wear? You discover a new one every time you try to look into person’s heart a bit more closely. “There are quantities of human beings, but there are many more faces, for each person has several.” You find many people having different attitudes towards different people at the same time. A person who you feel is very nice may seem to be the worst human being after you spend some days with him/her. Or you may discover a cruel person to be the most beautiful at heart. People who are always smiling and cheerful might be found to be the most heartbroken ...
