SACRIFICE: IS IT A POSITIVE TERM?

Well, its been long friends. And I was caught up in various personal and professional commitments. The good thing is it has provided a lot of 'food for thought' to my head. And today let us talk about this beautiful term 'SACRIFICE'.

Sacrifice as defined in dictionary is slaughtering of animals for offering to God as noun or to give up something valuable for some other considerations as verb. So, what do you think? Giving up something valuable for some other considerations; is it a positive term? And that's exactly my food for thought today.

I am not against this term 'sacrifice' or something like that. I am just not able to feel the positive vibes in that word the way it is usually used in our day to day lives. I feel if you do something which you love and have an appetite for, then you would never say that I sacrificed this to do that may how hard the work may seem. The moment you use the term sacrifice, it feels you have just undermined the worth of everything that you have done. The simple reason is, when you hear the term sacrifice it means that you have done this work by giving up on something important which was valuable to you. Now, the simple question is why are you giving up something important just to do something else and telling that I sacrificed this for that? As a human being, I feel that the only answer to this question can be that the present work was much more important than the past work that you gave up. And if the answer written above is right, then you should not blabber that word 'sacrifice' because it is your choice and you were not forced to do it.
Thinking about all this, I feel 'sacrifice' is just a word used to imbibe an emotion and that emotion is the feeling of pity and compassion on the people whom you are saying. Its just a word to make the other people feel sorry for you.
Do you agree or you have some other thoughts on it?

KARMA IS A BITCH...

Today I encountered a good experience, and my belief on GOD or whatever you call strengthened more. Its true whatever you do, will return back to you because KARMA IS A BITCH... Hope you all like it...  Today morning a wonderful experience I had, Though it felt good, trust me for someone it was bad. But what to do KARMA IS A BITCH, It never leaves till to you a lesson it teach. For every single word you speak that hurts other, One day with interest returns back to you and bother. But I am happy that someone is there, Who is ready to give every human their deserving share. Experiences in past had already made me a believer of God, But today I knew that no human is spared from his sword. The saying is true that, as you sow, so shall you reap; Even in a second the fortunes can flip. Don't hurt someone who's poor due to your present high status, Because even from the mud, someday blooms a lotus. For people who think nothing bad can happ...

KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

Knowledge and wisdom. Just like 2 sides of the same coin.  Some feel knowledge is more important while for a few others, wisdom goes a long way. In my opinion, though, they both contribute more or less equally to a person's life. Yes, there are exceptions; a lot of exceptions. Still, I believe, with growth, with new generations coming in, both will play equal roles. During the beginning, knowledge surely has a greater role to play, but with age, wisdom and experiences are things that shall also matter a lot.  Now, knowledge and wisdom both grow with every new generation that impends on this planet. While the baggage of knowledge grows more as compared to wisdom because of the sheer amount of new technologies and inventions/discoveries that add up to the existing knowledge tree, wisdom is more subtle. Wisdom cannot be gained by surfing the internet, reading news articles, or on google. To develop wisdom, more creative approaches are required. Wisdom gets transferred from one ge...

AN ODE TO SOLDIERS...

This post is purely an emotional one as I dedicate this to all our soldiers for whom we are safe and living a carefree life... THANKS SOLDIERS for protecting our country and us...  Hope you all like this post... I was dozing off the bed when something caught my attention, Two soldiers were killed while protecting our nation. I felt very bad and anger engulfed my soul, I wanted those terrorists to be hanged on some electric pole. I tried to sleep but was disturbed by the news, I was done by those hi-status peoples' views. Enough has been said on this very topic, But what people do except sharing some pics?? On social media all keep on shouting, Some speak in favor while others start fighting. I love my India and the people protecting it, I am no one to question them as I am not that fit. I know for me waking safely after every night, Someone is ready to give up his life and fight. I know if I am able to walk and drive without any ...
