Living in unity in a divided World

Living in unity in a divided world is a challenging task, but it is possible. Here are some ways to cultivate unity despite the divisions around us:

  1. Seek common ground: Look for things that you have in common with others instead of focusing on your differences. This can help you build connections and find areas of agreement.
  2. Practice empathy: Try to understand other people's perspectives and experiences. Listen to them without judgment and show compassion and understanding.
  3. Practice respectful communication: Avoid using language or behavior that is divisive, dismissive, or disrespectful. Instead, practice active listening, open-mindedness, and speaking with kindness and compassion.
  4. Build bridges: Look for ways to build connections and understanding between people and communities. This can include volunteering, attending community events, or reaching out to people who are different from you.
  5. Focus on solutions: Instead of dwelling on the problems and differences around us, focus on finding solutions that benefit everyone. This can help bring people together and create a sense of shared purpose.

Remember that unity doesn't mean uniformity. We can live in unity despite our differences, as long as we respect each other and work towards common goals.

The Dark Side of Love: The Dangers of Emotional Destruction

In the complex realm of relationships, love is often considered a powerful force that knows no boundaries. However, the misguided belief that "everything is fair in love and war" has led to a disturbing trend where some boys engage in humiliation, character assassination, and the emotional destruction of girls under the guise of love. This toxic behavior not only harms the individual being targeted but also perpetuates a harmful cycle of emotional abuse. Love should be a source of support, understanding, and growth.

Boys who engage in such behavior often justify their actions with the notion that intense emotions can excuse any action. This perspective not only disregards the basic principles of respect and empathy but also normalizes harmful behaviors that can have lasting consequences. Humiliation and character assassination are insidious forms of emotional abuse that can leave deep scars...

A DAY WHEN I WAS OLD

Image
I wish you all a pleasant evening, sojourners and good friends. Today I would want to speak to you all about a day when I was old; it may sound strange for you to hear about a day when I was old because I am still young.  In actuality, this is all about the suffering I have experienced in society. This can be my story, your story, or you can give this narrative a face, but this is definitely a story that shattered me. I was strolling down Silguri's main street  today, savouring the pleasant weather and the company of my good friends. I was overcome by the company, and the weather favoured me as well. At times, we were giggling uncontrollably and occasionally taunting one another. My gaze was drawn to a handsome and well-dressed uncle and aunty who were sitting by the Siliguri Municipal Corporation's garbage tank. I am not sure why, but their body language and lifestyle did not fit the circumstance. My buddies drew me away from the spot, but my soul was impelled to go and ask i...
