My grandson, when you grow into youth, n’, be able to think for yourself, ____ SHAIKH AYAZ _____ AKSHR


My grandson, when you grow into youth, n’, be able to think for yourself,

 speak the language you like, live in the country, whose shade you find agreeable,

 join the sect you feel in true with; own the religion that seems good enough to you. 



And it’s up to you to believe or not to believe in any ultimate reality, 

I leave in my legacy for you the liberty of thought, 

the liberty that birds have inherited, 

for which there’re no fixed flight   paths, nor any prophets; 



If anyone asks you: 

‘What has your grandpa bequeathed to you?     

     Answer without fear: Liberty’. 

This then for you is my bequest, my prayer.

Anger is a wind which _____ RGINGERSOLL _____ AKSHR


Anger is a wind which
 blows out the lamp of the mind.

The statement "Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind" suggests that anger can be detrimental to clear thinking and rational decision-making.

The metaphor of anger as a "wind" implies that anger is a force that can disrupt or extinguish the "lamp of the mind," which represents clarity, reason, and cognitive functioning. It suggests that anger can cloud or obscure one's ability to think objectively, logically, or critically.

The statement implies that anger can impair the ability to make sound judgments or decisions, as it may lead to impulsive or irrational behaviors. When emotions are heightened, particularly with anger, it can override one's ability to think calmly, rationally, or objectively, leading to hasty or irrational actions.

The statement also suggests that anger can hinder communication and understanding. When someone is angry, they may not be able to communicate effectively or listen attentively, leading to misunderstandings, conflicts, or further escalation of the situation.

Moreover, the statement highlights the negative impact of anger on mental well-being. Anger can be emotionally and psychologically taxing, leading to increased stress, anxiety, and other negative effects on mental health. It can also strain relationships and social interactions, further exacerbating the negative consequences of anger.

Overall, the statement conveys the idea that anger can be detrimental to clear thinking, rational decision-making, effective communication, and mental well-being. It suggests that managing anger in a constructive and healthy way is important for maintaining cognitive clarity, emotional well-being, and healthy relationships.

To change one’s life: 1. Start immediately. 2. Do it flamboyantly. 3. No exceptions. ― William James _____AKSHR



To Change Your Life

 

To change one’s life: 

1. Start immediately. 

2. Do it flamboyantly. 

3. No exceptions. 

― William James

 

1.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved to sing.

She sang in the shower and down at the river,

she sang at her grandmother’s house and on the bus,

and she even sang when she was angry.

Without ever having been told it was wrong to do so,

she felt that singing was something you were supposed to do all the time.

2.

One day, she went to her grandmother’s house and was singing a song,

when suddenly she heard a man say “shh!”

He said that it was not very ladylike to sing in public,

and that ladies should only sing at home.

She was sad and confused when he said this, but she stopped singing.

She thought he must know more than her about what is right, because he is an adult.

And so she decided to follow his advice and only sing at home.

3.

Years later, she still loved to sing but had never sung out loud again.

She felt guilty for doing things that were not ladylike and silly for being angry with people who told her not to do it anymore.

But then one day she realized: What if I want to be a singer?

What if I want to be silly? What if I want to be angry with people? What if I want to do all of these things? Who is going to stop me from doing them now?

Maybe some covenant or hymnal. 

Or a chapter from the Kama Sutra, 

Or a spell for intimate afflictions. 

But then it seems I am none of these. 

If I were, someone would have read me. - Amrita Pritam
