Pari isms III

Does anything make us realize the ephemeral nature of all things more
than a flower that blooms briefly and dies.

In its short life a flower gives not just nectar but enriches our
lives with its colour, fragrance and beauty, teaching us that it is
not how long one lives that is important but how well.

When we enjoy the beauty of a newly blossomed flower we never give a
thought to how soon it will fade and die, so why can't we enjoy each
moment in life without the worry that it will pass.

The amounts the rich spend on self gratification could well feed, house, clothe and educate a million or more poor

Standard of living should only be improved till it is actually improving the quality of life anything beyond that leads to decadence

Treat strangers well you have no idea what they may mean to you someday

Every interaction can be a learning and teaching experience

Each of us is a book, full of short stories, at least a couple of novels and some drama.

We are given friends so we can fly and relatives so we stay grounded

I would anyday prefer to be the well thought out, perfectly planned and executed design of a Creator, with infinite oceans of knowledge and wisdom, rather than a chemical accident

Life takes us to places new, memories keep us pinned to the past.

If life is full of problems we have to be full of solutions

When I was younger I wished I was a man, till i realised I was something so much better.... A Woman! Thank God!

In its short life the butterfly has drunk nectar from flowers, basked in the sunshine, flown free in the wind,glided on the soft breezes, pollinated flowers, added beauty to the world, and shown us that living and giving can all be done despite the shortness of life

Pari isms II

Everyone has some special gift,often we cannot see it as we are not looking for it

Injustice angers me, pain and agony I witness breaks my heart, environmental destruction does both

My heart breaks for wonderful people who are worth so much and yet think that money is the most important thing in life

Its time to stop wasting the resources of the earth and replace materialism with minimalism

Feed your need, not your greed

The capacity to love despite the faults of another is a great gift

Sometimes there is a defining moment in life that crystallizes the meaning of one's entire existence

Life is so short, let's ensure that we use it well, giving only happiness to others and are never responsible for another's pain.

Nothing in life is more important than to cherish the moments spent with those we love

We can't have everything, so we have to realise what is most important and aim for that. There is no perfect situation, so do not let go of any potential happiness waiting for things to be just right.

Art and Beauty need no language

People chase their dream of wealth and fame, spending not a single moment to reflect on the fact that if success, money and fame were the things we really needed, then why would so many performers die of overdose after reaching the zenith in their chosen field.

What wisdom's lost when thoughts gallop with speed,

through the mind like untamed steeds.

Lasso your thoughts write them down,

or you may lose some wisdom profound

There is nothing I regret more than the missed chances of doing good

Don't indulge the moment of pleasure that comes with a lifetime of regret

Movies, tv and computer games are insidious mind controlling devices

In a heart where rancour is kept alive, no joy or happiness can ever thrive

Loneliness is mankind's greatest fear

If recognition of talent was left to families many a genius would die in anonymity

Those who thought the Spanish Inquisition was bad were never questioned by their teenagers

The world may think you're an idol

but your teen will no doubt say

Yeah sure you are an idol

I can see your feet of clay

Peace based on harmony should be the goal of every society, which can be achieved by acceptance and respect of each other's differences. Art, philosophy, literature, poetry, dance and music, reflect the zenith any civilization has reached. If any of these expressions are used to deride or mock another's deepest beliefs under the guise of freedom of expression, it will only lead to total chaos.

how blind are we that we cant see

the anguished hearts within our midst

eyes full of barely veiled sorrow

that forced smiles can never reach

lonely souls appearing to draw

happy, contented fulfilled breaths

while in truth they are awaiting

grim yet liberating death

Cute is irresistible, so beware of cute things that may have a more devious design behind them

As fire engulfs and consumes whatever feeds it, so does anger engulf and consume the minds and heart it feeds upon

True development would take into consideration the needs of every species we share the planet with and not just the increased profits of a few greedy and short-sighted individuals

Trees are the first casualty of any development

We do not desecrate the sanctity of Churches, temples and mosques that we build for God yet how easily and thoughtlessly we destroy, desecrate and defile the beauty and sanctity of the wonders that HE has built for us.

It is this World's tragedy that voices of sense and reason have often been overpowered by sheer brute force

if we just pass or fill time then we invalidate the fact that there are a number of purposes for our existence. Find and fulfill the purposes for your being, to justify your presence here.
