"Windows to a Brighter World: Change Your Perspective, Change Your Life!"

 “This world will never be good,” his son muttered as he walked in, feeling totally frustrated. The father piped up, “How could the world be good, son? Who has clouded your perspective?” His son replied that people were just selfish, times were tough, and it felt like everything was conspiring to ruin his future.

The father thought for a moment, then recalled how he used to show his son the world through the painted windows of their home when he was young. Taking him over to one of these windows, he asked, “What do you see?”

The son responded, “Nothing is clear! The view is blurred, unfamiliar, and full of odd shapes.”

The father then directed him to an unpainted, clear window. “Now, look through this one!”

The son’s expression softened instantly. “I can see everything now – my city, my friends, familiar places, and everything around us.”

“Son,” the father said gently, “it’s not the world that needs to change; it’s the way you view it! That window represents your attitude. Keep it clean and clear, and you’ll see a beautiful world right before you.”

Today, our lifestyles and mindsets often cloud our vision, burdened by habits that lead to indolence and health issues that seem to pass down through generations. In this era of rapid technological advancements, it’s natural to resist stepping out of our comfort zones. However, a healthy mind and body require a little conscious effort! Just as we take care of our physical health, we must recognize and tackle the “ailments” in our attitudes and mental well-being, no matter how deep-seated they may be.

True progress isn’t just about external achievements but about nurturing a balanced, healthy life! Let’s bring back morning walks with friends, spontaneous neighborhood football games, and those small moments that remind us of our awesome community. Look through the clear window of a bright mind, and remind yourself: the world is beautiful!

Libya In The Throngs Of Change March 25, 2011 By The Companion “Blame the era in which we live, don’t blame me. I am going and I will not be coming back. Notice I haven’t cried and no tears have fallen from my eyes. There is no room fro reproach or blame in the ages of treachery in the People’s land. I am not feeling normal and not in my right state. I am travelling and I ask who leads the travel to forget.” These are part of expression posted by the Tunisian Youth Mohammed Bouazizi in Face book addressing his mother before he committed suicide.

Iranian nuclear program and Israel’s unrest Iran has been facing the declarations of war on the accusation of developing nuclear weapons. The accusation has now been echoed strongly by Israel. It has been trying to ignite the forest fire which can engulf the whole Arab world by the intention of attacking Iran. America on the other hand doesn’t want to interfere directly as they know that it will cost them much as their experience in Vietnam. But still they are giving silent support so as to put an end to Iran’s nuclear project. Israel wants to handle the case of Iran in four methods. One is by strengthening the propaganda that the Iranian nuclear project is a threat to the humanity through the media, political circles etc. Second is by strengthening the economic sanctions against Iran. Thirdly is by murder the Iranian scientists involved in the nuclear project and bomb the military areas of Iran. Fourthly is by openly declaring the destruction of atomic energy manufacturing centers. Th...

DIALOGUE

INTER FAITH DIALOGUE – MERITS AND DEMERITS Twenty first century has manifested a grave situation of ignorance of each other’s ways and lines, resulting in suspicious and mistrust among faiths, ethnicities, civilizations and cultures. Politicization of conflicts, backed by tremendous hi-tech power to kill has brought humanity to a perceptual state of war. The world at the beginning of the 21 st century presents a grim scenario: the rising specter of global insecurity and terrorism, the emergence of a new mutant of imperialism represented by a hegemonic and expansionist United States and its allies, stark inequality and the widening divide between the rich and the poor, the evident human development deficit in large parts of Africa and Asia, growing apprehensions about food security, escalating ethnic, political and religious conflicts in many parts of the world etc. Modern information and technologies have brought to our awareness the magnitude of these challenges in all their viv...
