Love
we have
seen it all.
It’s a
mocking bird.
has failed
again.
No this is
not the answer.
Ask about
how many
began this way.
It was not
the answer
we had thought.
Love is
the beginning.
In between
many
things do come.
break not
any house.
any relationships.
find
the answers.
stand against
the divisions.
break the barriers.
The epidemic of our civilization
We live in a culture of romance ,making relationships , quick fix type of.
Love is everywhere. In our shopping malls most of the Billboards show a quick fix kind of message. Buy this, eat that, wear this, not that,that’s outdated, this is the fashion etc.
It’s worthless to maintain fairness,charity, togetherness. It’s not just appreciated. Why?
Do we appreciate any entrepreneur,a college student,below the poverty line person who is fighting against his traditions?
Love is portrayed in every advertisement. Be it gift shops, Jewellery, diamonds clothing,shoes,other items.
Still when we interact do we get it? Is our society biased towards money and power?
Do we love genuinely? Or are we just selfish? Are we a good mother,father,son, daughter? Are we behaving as if we are civilized? Or are we really expressing pure love?
Do unto others, give unto others,forgive more.
Knowledge is different than wisdom. A religion that underscores love is not spiritual indeed.
If money is the ultimate thing then we would cease to become human but machines.
Love is fairness. Love is committed. Love is becoming unselfish. Non interested in physical wealth gathering.
It’s beyond words. Love is a mother. Love is a father.

No one is the center of the universe
Hey,you are so so loud. This is killing me.
I am not your kind of. I am not like you.
Remember this,your loudness is disgusting.
Don’t think otherwise. I don’t hate you. I love you.
I know you are so genuine.
My experience tells me that you are naturally loud.
But I can’t just accommodate you in that.
Sometimes I just want to say it out loud. But I am not that kind of person.
I know you need to be silent sometimes,but I don’t say it. I might hurt you.
Why do you think you have to be loud?
Can’t you be calm sometimes?!
It’s not good. Not everyone is like you.
You need to respect others.
You need to understand that often your loudness makes me frustrated.
I am a silent person. I like to talk in a way that looks like the opposite of loudness.
This doesn’t mean that I am not social.
In Fact I like to be around people like you.
Don’t be rude.
I hate being told you are not talking. I hate being told that I am silent. No I like to talk.
I love to talk beyond the surface. I like to talk about everything but you don’t want to.you only care about yourself.
I like to share my real issues, not only how you are etc.
Please respect my friend. Don’t be so rude.
Your perspective is as important as mine.
My issues are as important too. If you care to listen,I will talk.
If you keep on talking,I won’t respond.
We are meant to be different. When we truly care,we respect others. We listen to others.
I hope you understand.
“Feel like your inspiration is on its last breath? Uncover unusual yet effective tips to re-energise your spirit and get back on the creative path. Start your resurgence journey now.”
Inspiration is the fuel that powers the engine of creativity, driving us to explore, innovate, and achieve remarkable things.
However, even the brightest flame of inspiration can be snuffed out by seemingly innocent habits and choices.
Let’s delve into what can unknowingly kill your inspiration, offering insights and tips on how to keep that creative spark alive.
Keep on Talking About the Past
Reflecting on the past isn’t inherently bad; it’s our personal library of experiences and lessons.
But dwelling on it, especially on failures or missed opportunities, can be like walking with your eyes fixed behind you—you’re bound to stumble on what’s ahead.
Dwelling in the past can prevent you from seeing current opportunities and can drain your inspiration.
*Tip:Acknowledge your past but live in the present. Let the lessons learned inform your decisions without letting past failures define your future endeavours.
Keep on Discussing Your Dreams with Dream Killers
Sharing your dreams and aspirations is natural, seeking support and advice.
However, consistently discussing them with individuals who dismiss, belittle, or discourage you can quench your drive. These ‘dream killers’ may not always mean harm; sometimes, they project their own fears and limitations onto you.
*Tip:Surround yourself with supporters who believe in the beauty of your dreams and encourage you to pursue them, even when the path gets tough.
Speaking Bad About Yourself to Self or Others
The words we speak about ourselves, both internally and externally, have immense power.
Constantly downplaying your abilities, doubting your potential, or berating yourself for failures can erode your self-esteem and kill your inspiration.
*Tip: Practise self-compassion and positive self-talk. Celebrate your small victories and learn from mistakes without self-judgement.
Keeping Mind Closed
A closed mind is a blockade on the road to inspiration.
Rejecting new ideas, perspectives, or experiences out of hand stifles creativity and prevents the discovery of new inspirations.
*Tip: Cultivate curiosity. Stay open to new experiences and viewpoints. You never know what might spark your next big idea.
Thinking in a Box
Creativity thrives on freedom, yet many of us confine our thinking to the familiar comfort of ‘the box.’
This limitation can stifle innovation and kill inspiration by rendering us unable to see beyond our self-imposed boundaries.
*Tip: Challenge yourself to think differently. Approaching problems from unusual angles and questioning standard methods can unleash new and inspiring ideas.
Staying in a Bad Company of Friends Who Lack Vision or Dreams
The people you surround yourself with can significantly influence your mindset and aspirations.
Spending too much time with friends who lack their own vision or dreams can subtly discourage your pursuits, making it tough to maintain inspiration.
*Tip:Seek out and spend time with people who inspire you, those who have dreams of their own and encourage you to reach for yours.
Not Taking Time on Yourself
Neglecting self-care and personal development can deplete your energy and dull your creative spark.
Inspiration flourishes when you’re physically, mentally, and emotionally well-tended.
*Tip: Make time for yourself. Engage in activities that rejuvenate your spirit and stimulate your mind.
Lack of Recreation
All work and no play isn’t just dull; it’s a recipe for burnout and a surefire inspiration killer.
Recreation and leisure activities are not just fun—they’re necessary for refreshing your perspective and recharging your creative energy.
*Tip: Incorporate leisure and hobbies into your routine. Doing things just for the joy of it can reignite your inspiration.
Not Attempting New Endeavours
Sticking to what you know and never venturing beyond can lead you into an inspirational rut. The challenge and excitement of new endeavours stimulate creativity and can be a powerful source of inspiration.
* Tip:Dare to try new things, whether it’s learning a skill, exploring a new hobby, or taking on a challenging project.
Not Reading Books
Books are windows to new worlds, ideas, and insights. Opting out of reading is like shutting those windows and denying yourself the breeze of inspiration they bring.
*Tip: Make reading a regular part of your life. Books in your area of interest can be incredibly inspiring, but don’t be afraid to explore outside your comfort zone too.
Conclusion
Inspiration is a delicate flame that needs nurturing.
By being mindful of the factors that can extinguish it and taking proactive steps to foster a supportive, open, and stimulating environment, we can keep our inspirational fires burning brightly.
Let’s commit to being architects of our own inspiration, building and reinforcing the conditions that allow it to thrive.
Dear Reader,
I have something important to share with you – a personal struggle that many may relate to. This isn’t your average social media post; it’s raw and emotional. I want you to understand that despite appearances, my life isn’t perfect. I may write inspirational posts and showcase a seemingly ideal existence, but behind the scenes, I battle with my own demons. Loneliness is my constant companion, despite having a loving family and engaging in community service. The lack of empathy from those closest to me leaves me feeling isolated. I do my best to help others, but often feel used and discarded in return. This constant cycle of selfishness is disheartening.
## The Unseen Battle
I am not the life of the party; I prefer solitude. My quiet demeanor shouldn’t be mistaken for misanthropy – I simply find solace in my own company. It’s disconcerting that society often favors extroverts over introverts like myself. I gravitate towards individuals who exhibit empathy and open-mindedness, as self-absorption is a trait that I struggle to tolerate. Finding balance in a world that values social prowess can be challenging, causing me to question my self-worth. My perfectionist tendencies only exacerbate my internal conflicts.
In my darker moments, when the world feels overwhelming, I retreat into my fortress of solitude. It’s there, in the silence, that I confront the heart of my loneliness. It’s not the absence of people that haunts me but the absence of meaningful connections. Despite being surrounded by a crowd, the void within grows, feeding on fleeting interactions and superficial exchanges.
## Finding Respite
To combat my feelings of isolation, I engage in various therapeutic activities. Music has a profound effect on my well-being, providing a sense of solace when words fail me. Journaling serves as an outlet for my unfiltered thoughts, allowing me to untangle the complexities of my emotions. Immersing myself in nature, reading books, and practicing mindfulness techniques like meditation also offer respite from the chaos of everyday life.
These actions are my lifelines, pulling me back from the edge of despair. They allow me to breathe, to find peace in the storm. But they are not cure-alls. My journey towards healing is ongoing, marked by small victories and inevitable setbacks.
## A Shared Struggle
If my words resonate with you, know that you are not alone in your struggles. There are countless individuals grappling with similar challenges, searching for a path towards healing. By sharing my story, I hope to offer solace to those who feel lost in their own battles. Let me know how my open letter has touched you, as your feedback is invaluable in this journey of self-discovery and growth.
Remember, strength lies in resilience. Do not allow yourself to remain stagnant in despair. Seek out genuine connections and surround yourself with like-minded souls who uplift and support you. Together, we can navigate the treacherous terrain of loneliness and emerge stronger on the other side.
With resilience and hope,
Titus Vargis
Life, in its intricacy, presents us with a multitude of experiences—some bitter, some sweet, and many that linger somewhere in-between.
In moments of profound despair or overwhelming challenges, the idea of just letting go and succumbing to the darkness might fleetingly cross our minds.
Yet, here I am, choosing to embrace the light, the pain, the fear, and every hue of life in between. Let’s delve into the whys and wherefores.
Embracing Life Over Fear and Pain
Life hasn’t always been kind. Like many, I’ve faced my share of moments when everything seemed insurmountable.
But choosing life over the temptation of giving up has been my silent rebellion against the odds.
Life Purpose
I believe we’re all here for a reason. For me, realizing that I have unfulfilled purposes acts as a beacon in my darkest hours.’s not just about big achievements but about small, everyday victories and the joy brought.
A Legacy for My Children
My children are my heart walking outside my body.
The thought of leaving them prematurely, of not being there to see them grow, learn, and face life’s myriad challenges and joys, weighs heavily on me.
They are a significant part of why I choose to weather life’s storms.
Beyond Self
It’s easy to become ensnared in our web of miseries, to dwell on what ails us. Yet, life isn’t just about me.
It extends to the people I love and care about—their needs, their hopes, and their well-being. Shifting the focus from myself to them often sheds light on the bigger picture.
The Privilege of Life
Choosing to live, especially in the thick of turmoil, is no small feat. It is a declaration that despite life’s lows, its highs are worth striving for.
Life Is a Fortune
Waking up each day is a privilege denied to many. This realization pushes me to see beyond my current suffering, to value life’s gift, and make the most out of it, no matter the obstacles.
Lessons from the Past
Reflecting on my journey, I recognize the strength I’ve garnered from overcoming past adversities.
Giving up now would disregard the resilience I’ve built up. It would mean letting a few challenging experiences overshadow numerous good ones.
The Courage to Face Challenges
Life demands courage and tenacity. It’s about standing up after every fall, ready to face the world anew.
My resolve to live is also a commitment to not succumb to fear, to not let challenges define my existence.
Family Ties
The family is an anchor during stormy times. Their unconditional love and support stand as pillars, compelling me to forge ahead.
Obligation to My Parents
Watching my parents age has reinforced my resolve to live fully. They’ve sacrificed much for my well-being; now, as they tread into their twilight years, my presence, love, and support are ways to repay their boundless love.
Creating Memories
Life is fleeting, and each moment is a memory in the making.
Choosing to live is choosing to create memories—joyous ones that define and enrich the tapestry of our shared existence.
Choosing life, in essence, is a testament to the undying hope that whispers softly, urging us to give life another chance, to see beyond the pain and the fears, and to treasure the myriad moments that make life worth embracing.
It is a conscious decision to acknowledge life’s shadows but to revel in its light, to seek purpose, to cherish loved ones, and to embrace the privilege of existence wholeheartedly.
Let’s choose to live, not just exist. Because every breath is a story waiting to be told, and I’ve got chapters yet unwritten.

Parenting is an ever-evolving journey that requires a unique blend of love, discipline, and education.
No parent is born with all the answers, and the path to becoming a wise and effective parent involves continuous learning and adaptation.
With three kids of my own, each presenting their own set of beautiful challenges, I have navigated the complex world of parenting one step at a time.
My experience has taught me that mastering small, yet significant details can profoundly impact your parenting approach.
This guide aims to share those lessons, offering a comprehensive look into the strategies and mindsets that foster wholesome child development.
Parenting Advice
Here, we delve into essential parenting advice, covering emotional control, the pursuit of knowledge, fair treatment, shared responsibilities, and the celebration of each child’s unique abilities.
These pillars of smart parenting not only encourage a nurturing home environment but also support each child’s growth into a well-rounded adult.
Control Your Emotions
The ability to maintain emotional stability is a cornerstone of effective parenting. Children are highly perceptive and can easily pick up on their parents’ emotional states.
It’s crucial, therefore, to manage your reactions and display calm and composed behavior.
This doesn’t mean suppressing emotions; instead, it involves acknowledging them and finding constructive outlets.
For instance, when a situation becomes overwhelming, taking a moment to breathe deeply can provide the necessary pause before addressing the issue at hand.
Calm Your Mood
Similarly, managing your mood is vital. A negative or agitated mood can inadvertently influence your parenting style and interactions with your children.
Embracing strategies like mindfulness or engaging in activities that boost your mood can have a positive impact on the entire family dynamic.
Remember, a happy parent is more likely to raise happy children.
Seek Knowledge
Assuming you know everything about parenting can be a pitfall.
The willingness to learn from others, whether through books, parental courses, or discussions with fellow parents, can enlighten you to new perspectives and strategies.
Each child is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Staying open to learning helps you adapt your parenting style to meet each child’s needs effectively.
Fair Treatment
Avoiding judgment and offering unbiased support is essential in parenting.
Each child has their strengths and weaknesses, and it’s important to embrace these differences without comparison.
Fair treatment builds a strong foundation of trust and respect, ensuring that each child feels valued for who they are.
Shared Responsibility
Parenting should not be a solo mission.
Discussing and dividing responsibilities with your partner or family members can alleviate stress and prevent burnout.
It’s beneficial for children to see their parents working together as a team, reinforcing notions of cooperation and mutual support.
Rotate Responsibilities
To further emphasize shared duties, rotating responsibilities among family members can be incredibly effective.
This approach not only diversifies the experiences and skills each member brings to parenting but also keeps routines fresh and engaging.
Celebrate Abilities
Every child possesses unique talents and abilities. Recognizing and celebrating these strengths fosters self-esteem and encourages further development.
Whether it’s academic achievements, artistic skills, or simple acts of kindness, acknowledging these accomplishments motivates children to continue exploring their potential.
Respect Each Child
Offering respect to your children is paramount for their emotional and moral development.
Demonstrating respectful behavior teaches them how to interact with others and builds their self-respect. This includes listening attentively, validating their feelings, and involving them in decision-making processes.
Share Stories
Sharing your childhood experiences, both the successes and failures, can be incredibly reassuring for children.
It helps normalize setbacks and emphasizes that growth often comes from overcoming challenges.
These stories can serve as powerful lessons and deepen the bond between you and your children.
Show Appreciation
Lastly, showing appreciation for both big and small achievements plays a crucial role in positive reinforcement.
Celebrating efforts, as well as outcomes, instills a sense of pride and encourages children to continue striving towards their goals.
Every child is a world of possibilities waiting to be nurtured. As parents, our role is to guide them with respect, understanding, and patience.
By embracing these principles of smart parenting, we can provide our children with a solid foundation for becoming responsible, compassionate, and confident adults.
“Parenting is not about being perfect. It’s about being present, learning, and growing together.”
In the journey of parenting, the lessons are continual, and the rewards, though sometimes delayed, are immeasurable.
By striving for emotional control, seeking knowledge, promoting fairness, and celebrating the unique traits of each child, we pave the way for their success and happiness.
Let us embrace smart parenting with an open heart and a willing mind, ever ready to learn and adapt for the well-being of our beloved children.

My confession and lessons
My father was an active member of the church. He was enthusiastic.
I watched him doing his best. He thought it was a duty to serve and he did out of compassion.
He was a full-time teacher. He used to teach in a college. There too he was excited to share about Jesus.
He did his job faithfully. He had a sense that God is interested in our whole being. There is no dichotomy. You are everywhere the same. Either in the job or in the church.
To cut everything short, he was a sincere father, husband, and a faithful disciple.
We never saw him enjoying life as he was constantly on the move.
If he is not in the job he will be doing service. He never spent a holiday at home or other entertainment.
He was sick in the later years of his life. He was getting very weak.
He couldn’t move or drive by himself. He had to take medicine. He had severe kidney disease.
We had no money to treat. We children were still in our schools.
It was getting harder for my father to go to work. He was on medicines. He showed little strength to do both job and service.
Later he resigned from the job. His condition deteriorated.
The main thing I want to share is this, when my father became sick no one including his brother bothered to help him.
We were expecting his family would come and help.
Even though all throughout his life he served the church yet the church didn’t look after our father.
You might say, well, what can the church do? I say everything!
We didn’t have anyone to support us. No one was there to guide us. He was lonely. He was exhausted. He too was surprised that no one from his own family had come.
Here lies my question. What is the responsibility of a church? Is it wrong to expect some help from the church?
Is it right to give up on someone who all throughout his life served for the church?
I was still in school. Later my father passed away due to the situation getting serious.
We were orphans by then . Still then the church didn’t come and had sympathy towards us.
My mother was devastated. She had great hopes that believers would stand with her.
We were wrong. Our hopes were wrong. Nothing happened. No one cared.
This affected me and my family so much.
Christ who had died on the Cross didn’t die for some but for all. Why does the church who speaks about love very often don’t show love to someone like us?
If you profess to be the ambassadors of Christ, the Saviour, then what about love?!
Unless you show love then what’s the point of your message of love?
I was deeply hurt after my father’s death. I became depressed. I started taking medicines.
My mother took a small job to bear our expenses.
To this day, I don’t understand how you can claim to be the disciples if you never show compassion?!
