Man! Thou art marvellous curiosity! In my leaky raft, I muse ye!

Courage-cowardice-ferocity,

Gentleness-fairness-magnanimity,

Justice-cunning-cruelty,

Sweetness-truthfulness-nobility,

Selfishness-lust-malignity,

Love-hate-falsity,

Mercy-pity-purity,

Man! Thou art marvellous curiosity!

 

In the kingdom of partially blind,

A prisoner of reality,

Trapped in the daily grind,

With high hope-desire cackling with glee,

In my leaky raft, I muse ye!

I and Mr Moaner are not the same people. Yet Mr Chieftain doesn't understand this, not only he doesn't realize it but he has forgotten about my existence.

Yet how can I blame him? Who am I? A mere nobody? Nobody has named me… I have named myself, I have named myself as 'Warrior Princess' because I have chosen to fight and not sigh and not cry.

As you learn to control life it becomes joyful. We all know charity begins at home.

These days people understand only their own troubles and see their own perspectives. Soft-brained, weak-minded, chicken-hearted people get the best attention whereas a warrior is like an elephant in the room like something everyone is aware of, but which is being ignored because everybody finds discussion about it uncomfortable.

Everywhere there's some chaos and uproar but everyone is leading a filthy life never cleaning up the dust settling in layers. With a few dead trees surrounding their lives, every single person seems to be the mirror image of the other, living in a mixture of the garbage but calling themselves aficionados of life. I ask you, My Lord, what do they perceive life is? I think for life and lust are synonymous. Everyone has a similar hobby, that of collecting money.

What do I need? Money? To fight through the hazards of life you need money. When malady strikes, your life becomes a tale of courage in the face of endless circumstances and the distressing horror, banknotes resuscitate you. Therefore money can buy life for me.

Money under most circumstances can't buy peace and happiness for you. Your Creator will provide just as much as you need for your own personal sustenance because that is what you deserve, asking for more is being greedy and is a punishable offence. We find everyone running after fame, prosperity, wealth and power which results in daily indigestion and therefore they have built gyms in their premises to work out, not just to build eight-packs by shedding out the extra fat but to get rid of menacing indigestion and get a peaceful night's sleep which seems to elude them always.

Our scriptures say

• Do your duty, but do not concern yourself with the results.

• The fruits of your actions are not for your enjoyment.

• Even while working, give up the pride of doership.

• Do not be attached to inaction.

But people are different these days before doing their duty they are concerned and whining about the effort they have to put in, they desire to bask in the glory of their deeds which makes them choosy... which duty to do… which will fetch them the attention of the world and they take substantial pride in doing something which gives birth to dignity and significance. Sometimes doing hard work which wouldn't fetch money and fame leads to inaction.

While trying to get kind attention of the administration, you will be surprised at what you had learnt in school as the definition of a Republic...of the people, by the people, for the people. It ought to be interpreted as far off the people, buy the people. Far off the people is a building where there is a roomful of people wearing elegant clothing with different beliefs.  They have one belief though, to buy the people by doing deeds which would fetch more votes. 

As for the people, there is a genuine gentlemanly problem...you'd find them supervising fundraising activity with hands placed on hips when a house got partially burnt due to the faults of the residents who were careless while burning prohibited crackers or helping people with fashionable diseases in the modern world and supporting those on a mass scale to get media attention. I am afraid the differentiation between diseases, comparison of lives will stop when pigs fly.

The creation of Man is supposed to be God's best job, greater than the animals with morals and principals but they have turned out to be leaders in their dominions and its authority which is supreme and impregnable. They practice killing weaker animals and are selfish by nature. They are the most miserable creation who only care about themselves. 

O' God! I might have been born on the wrong realm! Where the society is lacking compassion with a wicked bent. I berate those with a bitter disposition. They barely try to feel the outer cover and judge by how you look without knowing about the insides...the insides that have been cut off or removed or bruised…. they light a candle of hope but put it out by abandoning you because it won't gain them money and fame. 

O' Lord, the world is so delightful but I understand the law of this nature is the Law of God. Man cannot disobey it. Is it why you are bringing the disasters? Would they lead to annihilation?

I pray to Almighty,

So that I can ignore all these trivial, 

Creations  plagued by day-to-day insensibility, 

Give me strength that I can proceed along with,

Head held high, 

O' Lord, I keep my head upon thy feet,

I never sigh,

And get by.
