Live and let Live

-


 Charity begins at home. Is it selfish? The flight safety demonstration says, you should wear the air mask before you help somebody or even children. The clear  message is , Help yourself  before you help others. You must put on your own mask before you can help others.

Typically, the scenario given is of an adult and a child, which I would assume is a parent-child situation in traveling circumstances. This has always seemed mind-boggling to me. It seems selfish and unnatural to put your own mask on first, ignoring the child  for a few minutes while you effectively "save yourself. By not helping yourself first, you both suffer.

Jesus said “Live and let live” it is not reverse. You should live to help other. Oxygen is more required to you before you try for others.

If you are healthy you can make other healthy, If you are wealthy , you can make others wealthy, If  you have studied well you can teach other.

This is not about  selfish.  This is about law of life. Live and let live , never let live and live…

Today's maturity is different form yesterday's

Arivu  ಅರಿವು … The Maturity at which we deal today is different from the maturity with which we dealt same on yesterday. I was discussing with a good friend of mine for his decision of postponing his marriage even after late 30’s.  He questioned me, what makes difference if it is too late marriage? Suddenly did not have answer to justify. But I believe, the intimacy at innocence age has different experience and feeling than the intimacy after over maturity. Every day pass by, we add an experience. Every time we meet a person we add an experience and get matured. It is foolish to say, I am meeting today with the same maturity had yesterday. Every experience showered gives a maturity in your life. I always say in my beginning of the speech, the person walked inside this room is not the same person when you go back. It adds a new experience in his life and adds a new wisdom on to the person. And it is true the person  gets next level of maturity when he goes back.

33. Count your blessings not the troubles

 Count your blessings not the troubles  In my journey of life and the lessons gleaned from personal experiences that I aspire to share in the book I am endeavoring to publish, one profound revelation stands out. It revolves around our tendency to attribute our challenges and discontent to external factors—the country we reside in, the state and city we belong to, the educational institutions we attended, or even our family lineage. We extend this blame to the very fabric of our society, including our parents and their predecessors. Yet, upon closer examination, it becomes evident that the prosperity or adversity of a nation isn't solely determined by geographical location or available resources. Take Japan, for instance—a nation with limited arable land and abundant mountains. Despite these seemingly unfavorable conditions, Japan has emerged as a global economic powerhouse, relying on its innovative prowess rather than abundant resources. Notably, intellectual and racial differenc

"Covid 19 Pandemic: Embracing Life's True Values" The COVID-19 pandemic shook the world, forcing us to reevaluate our lives, our priorities, and our values. In the face of uncertainty, the pandemic taught us invaluable lessons that we must carry forward. These lessons are a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder of what truly matters in life.  Life's Fragility:   "In the crucible of the pandemic, the fragility of life became painfully evident, etched into the fabric of a personal tragedy that unfolded within the circles of my closest friends. The story began when a dear friend's husband, on a business trip to Bangalore, found himself entangled in the clutches of COVID-19. The hotel where he stayed instructed him to leave immediately and go to the hospital. However, finding a good hospital was challenging, and he sought my help. An urgent plea for help echoed from both Bangalore and Delhi, where his wife anxiously reached out to me, seeki
