Reflections

My mother placed me in an educational institution when I was five, and I remained in one ever since! However, much learning is available away from organised set-ups. Sharing experiences is a wonderful human activity.

Force majeure !

Is it a pessimistic view ? But coming from one who praises the ocean even when drowning.........would make you think twice.

Being upright to-day is meaningless;
Striving for justice is a nightmare;
Sticking a neck out is suicidal;
Living in peace and harmony in one's environment is a chimera;
Hatred, intolerance, hypocrisy, subterfuges,
Still as of old rule the planet.

Whatever one's seat on the hierarchical pyramid,
Unless the very topmost apex,
But where conspiratorial elements are ubiquitous and perennial,
Abandon justice,
Forget social togetherness,
Mock gentle manners and attitudes or principles of chivalry,
Only might is right,
Only the end justifies the means,
Only survival of the fittest,
Rule supreme.

Senseless attachment to money and wealth,
Unbridled ambitions for glory,
They all breed contempt, hatred and baselessness.

An endless list is always readily available everywhere:
The smaller the country - the more frequent the traps,
Personal safety becomes precarious,
Lest not exposure to the supreme oblation.
