Realization

I was recently hurt in the most painful way possible. I won't explain the details but let me say that out of 7billion people, this may happen to only several people. This sadness made me come to a realization. I always push and talk about forgiving others. It is very easy to hold on to revenge because forgiving is a difficult task. It takes alot of mental energy. Trust me, even I, who is a hardcore believer in forgiveness finds it difficult to do as I say. But I am doing it. One doesn't have to be Jesus, Mohammed, or any other prophet to have total forgiveness and love in him. It just takes alot of mental power. I believe in you guys. If you are a fan of my blog, then you definitely think the same way as I do and I just want to say to you that I BELIEVE IN YOU. Let's make this world less hateful for the next generation :)

Conversation with Homeless

When turning a blind eye to the homeless, ignoring the problem is not the only way to avoid discomfort. Much more common, and arguably even more harmful, is just saying they should "get a job". It's much more comfortable to label someone as "lazy" and therefore different than how one views oneself. When you label someone who is suffering as fundamentally different, it is much easier to justify the sub-human living conditions as somehow deserved. And if they deserve it, then it's not your problem, right? If you want to maintain this illusion - never actually have a conversation with a homeless person.
