POISON IN IT’S DIGNIFIED FORM !!!

-

 

He who talks about poison, exhibits the only one aspect of it, as the most notorious element for any living life collectively neglecting the other perspective, which could be its importance as the antidote. If one finds snake venom harmful for humans or other living beings, thus, has ignored its importance in the life of the snake. For the snake, it is one of the most important lifesaving chemicals. It is that compound which smoothens its survival easy and effortless on this earth.

Similarly, the food meant for a section of human being might not be the same for the other, instead might turn up as the most bitter experience for his taste buds.

Pride in its conscious form protecting one’s dignity is an antidote whilst, its superfluity, trying to overpower the thoughts of others is a poison. The vanity, ego, fear, jealousy, money, luxury in its overabundance form turns out to be a poison for any human being on this earth. The thin line of separation is to be considered every time one is willing to live a life of simplicity, which is lacking in any sort of frustration.

I remember when the poor ate the left overs with the greatest joy and enthusiasm as being hungry for days while the young lads were hospitalized for overeating at a marriage ceremony, held a few years ago. I was sad as well as happy seeing the plight of the human life.

"All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; the dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy." – Paracelsus

The thoughts that rule our mind may be actually poison or an antidote. If it’s making us genuinely happy, it is the medicine that we are supplying to our body but on the other hand if its slowly throwing us into the world of depression, undoubtedly, it is the poison that we are consuming.

Poison is available in any form and choosing any of the mentioned option, or not choosing it at all, is constructively dependent on our conscious intellect. We, humans mustn’t forget the food that we are actually feeding to our body and more importantly the mind. The physical container of any poisonous substance is not necessary, if we are constantly supplying toxins to the brain through thoughts and mal practices.   It is up to the human mind to decide what to ditch and which one to adopt.

“Every lie is a poison; there are no harmless lies. Only the truth is safe. Only the truth gives me consolation - it is the one unbreakable diamond.”

THE KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR

-

Who would rescue when the lonely Suzain would find no solace in her solitude? She kept wondering. Always. She would not go out to mingle with people and sit at her desk all day writing something beautiful, that no one had read. She says it is lovely but who knows what it is. One fine morning she woke up determined to conclude her loneliness. Dressed beautifully, as she said, gone out of the house in search of the knight in shining armor. She rambled in places and coffee shops. She ate and shopped. Upon reaching home, she realized she had not done what she was meant to: search for the knight in shining armor. So went out the next morning again, determined and confident, as she said. She saw the water park, and after walking a few miles, excited and elated, she bought the ticket and went inside to explore it. She had fun while she tried every game. Came out of it in the evening, tired but happy. She lost track of her determination and surrendered herself to the cozy bed at her home and s...

THE ROAD WAS NARROW

-

The road was narrow, and so were the people's perceptions. They would fight physically at the slightest instigation or verbal accusations. There was no law and order. The intellectuals were the decision-makers of the society. They would condemn the common junta when they considered things to be wrong.   In the name of religion and knowledge, the learned philosophers and the clergymen would take advantage of the people. The people were declared bad because they thought so. It was the ‘moral/religious poaching’. There were thieves, cheats, and the hypocrites. Besides those belonging to the priority class of the society, the women were treated as commodities. They had no voice and could only follow whatever the male section decided but their toughness was commendable. Their desires, sexual as well as mental and intellectual, not being fulfilled, made them go wild and take certain steps to be regretted later. There were fewer or no male-female interactions thus, leading to secrecy, f...

MY OLD GRANNY

-
Image
She had been sitting unwaveringly for the last two hours now. Not a single drop of tear had rolled down her gentle and wrinkled face. The only words she repeated whenever someone would talk to her were, ‘Good for him. Who would look after him if he had been bedridden? I am too old now.’ He was 97, and still took care of his lady, who was in her 80s. She was sick and had aging, fragile bones. He was, though, sturdy enough to hold her hand and walk her inside the house; he had been her delicate buttress-weak physically but morally strong enough to support her. Even though he was sometimes sick, he had never stepped away from performing his domestic duties towards his better half, children, and grandchildren. She had been away at her daughter’s place for a few days after many years and could not talk to him for the last time. She regretted. But they had been together for 65 years, and now they needed no words to communicate; they just knew each other’s thoughts, and so life went on. ...
