At last, Ambani marriage commotions are coming to an end.

Country can save foreign reserves to meet the needs of billions of other Indians.

Press should focus on things that really matter to billions of other Indians.

Ordinary citizens don’t have to feel bad daily about the wealth disparity.

——–

In India, marriage is the new stage on which wealth and power is displayed.

In the game of marriages, Ambani could not match the middle-class India.

Middle class India spends beyond their means and goes into debt, consider that.

With that measure, Mukesh Ambani is losing out to a government clerk.

What happened to all those elementary school moral stories on modesty?

What happened to the rejection of pomp and pageantry of British empire?

Did Freedom fighters who exemplified simplicity and quite grandeur for no avail?

For once, my optimism for a great world is taking a smack in the face.

One suffers more often in imagination then in reality.
It is not necessarily to be unhappy in anticipation of sorrow.
One who never been robbed, afraid of being robbed every night.
One who never seen a ghost, afraid of sleeping at night

Sad is the one, who thinks he is sad.
Lost is the one, who thinks he is lost.
Happy is the one, who thinks he is happy.
Blessed is the one, who thinks he is blessed.
Rich or poor, you live in your mind’s domain.

Epicurus words of wisdom:

The Acquisition of riches has been for many men not an end but a change of troubles. For the faults is not in the wealth but in the mind itself. That which made the poverty a burden will make the riches a burden too. Just as it matters a little, whether you lay a sick man on a wooden bed or on a golden bed. No matter which bed he is carried to, he will carry his malady with him.

One need not care if the deceased mind is bestowed upon riches or upon poverty. His malady goes with the man.

Oh Technology, the invention of mankind.
Runaway train that is what you are.
About to ruin the lives of very mankind.
Flaming fires of hatred, conflicts and war.

Mary Shelly warned us back in 1818.
Warning to heed from her great novel.
Frankenstein said the following lines.
“Remember that I have power;
you believe yourself miserable,
but I can make you so wretched
that the light of day will be hateful to you.
You are my creator, but I am your master;–obey!”

Watch the outside influence on everyday living.
Need to walk away from the technology addictions.
Addictions that will rob our time and creativity.
Disinformation is rampant to control our minds.
This we all know, though we submit and follow.
Ask anyone, no one admits lacking common sense.

Floods will runoff.
Snow will melt.
Seasons will change.
Injuries will heal.
Tears will dry up.
Time will reconcile, everything except one.
One, which one, remorse that is.

Remorse or guilt, a burden that is borne till the very end.
Guilt is from actions done contrary to one’s own nature.
Guilt grows with time, act on a remedy as soon as you can.
Pursue non-violence in all that you do – thoughts, action, and speech.

Student:   “Oh, Learned Master, how can one live a happy life?”

Student:   “Oh, Learned Master, how can one live a virtuous life?”

Master:    “By getting rid of all vices.”

Student:   “Oh, Learned Master, how does one develop a vice?”

Master:     “Vice arises from uncontrollable desire”.

Student:   “Oh, Learned Master, how does one develop a desire?”

Master:     “Desire arises from uncontrollable passion”.

Student:   “Oh, Learned Master, how does one develop passions?”

Master:     “Passions originate in the senses”

“Getting rid of your vices, you will return to your original virtuous self.”

Thank you, farmer for harvesting more than your family needs.

Because of that, I don’t need to plow the field myself, which I can’t do.

Thank you, doctor for treating more than just your family members.

Because of that, I don’t need to study medicine, which I can’t do.

Thank you, firefighter, for protecting more homes than just your own.

Because of that, I don’t need to fight fires of my own house, which I can’t do.

This I know, Product of my hard work shall not be for just my family.

This I give, Product of my hard work sets others free to do what they do best.

Fortune, I know your tricks.
You gave me fame and shame,
You gave me health and sickness,
You gave me gains and losses,
You gave me a body that will be lost,
I am not fooled by you, not all.

What is given is not mine,
What is taken is not mine,
What is mine is that you can’t have,
What is mine is ‘my character’,
Guarded carefully from your control,
Character that is always cheerful and calm.

I am a fellow passenger on the same train.
I am a fellow drinker at the same bar.
I am a fellow sufferer in the same crazy world.
Why must you read what I write?.

I read the texts of great philosophers.
Searching for clues to better this life.
Learning and Sharing is what I do.
Encouraging others to do the same thing.

What is the problem to be happy?

Spring and Summer did not cheer you up?
Searching for a good reason why?
Seasons came on time; they are not the reason why.
One thing remained the same;
You, who remained the same is the real reason why.
Change yourself, accept the world as it is, to enjoy a better day.
Days are numbered from the time you are born.

You are an individual.

You are like no other.

You are not the same you that you were yesterday.

You are changing sometimes for good and sometimes not.

Watch every change with an open mind, accept the good and reject the bad.

You must model actions based on reason not on transient passion.

Live in a theater founded on pillars of compassion, honesty, tolerance, and contentment.

Always let your free will be your guide in choosing the right option with no room for regrets.

Learn from each day and recalibrate that moral compass for a better tomorrow.
