Magnanimity of Hope



Trying and hoping for the best are two interconnected things. When a person hopes for the best he tries, tries and tries until he finally gets for what he hopes for. We should continue to hope for the best if we want to reach any particular goal. It is of the view that when everything positive fades, hope remains enlightened till the very end like a dark closed tunnel and at its end there is a small dot of light. We have often heard “Hope sustains the life.” This small sentence confines very big meaning in itself i.e. no matter what, hope is that last thing which is left even when a person is going to die.
 Hope is that astonishing thing that can easily makes things work. If there is hope there would be a mysterious type of hidden power to reach towards the goal, whereas if there is no hope then to achieve that goal would be almost impossible.
One thing more that creates the magnanimity of hope is that if we observe the circle of hope is too much vast as compared to the circle of intelligence and intellectual. As hope comes under the influence of imagination while intelligence is never imagination. An ordinary person in the world who has nothing has hope even if he is not intelligent. Whereas, if a person is very much intellectual but has no hope then he has nothing. This is the great power of hope. Hope is also very much related with a person’s good mood and good health.
When darkness is upon one’s door and he feels like it’s a lost battle. He puts his defenses down and awaits the dusk of his life, feel inside him and he'll find his hope inside with an armor to make sure that it will die before he falls! He just has to be with hope in that toughest time of life and have a belief that the shining sky of his life is just covered with the dark clouds for some time and that the time once fly away will never come again with his power of hope. One should always stay in faith in God that He is there with him and will never leave him alone in that horrific trouble.

Colors of Life



We all know that our lives are bursting out with the number of colors and devoid of these colors our life would seem just as a moving black and white piece of sheet. The humorous thing is that we have never imagined it without colors and we are so used to seeing colors that they have become something we take for granted. If the nature would be black and white then how one could distinguish between the rising and the setting sun, one could never know that at some distance away there is a huge stream of water or if not tasted one could never differentiate between an apple and a peach.
The significance of the colors can be judged with the fact that almost every color is associated with the activities of our lives and to most important our emotions and feelings are surely changed with the change of the colors our retina perceives. That is the reason we must have heard people saying to any patient or any psychologically affected person to change his or her habitat i.e. to change the type of environmental colors in order to convert the older and defected moods into the better ones.
Colors can help us activate certain characteristics that empower our lives. Most of us feel passionately about colors. We love some of the colors while other colors badly repel us. Some colors never cease to cheer us up when we see some specific combination of them, our mood become automatically blissful. Hence we can be of this view that the colors have that controlling strength and power which can change the entire moods of a person. Each and every color has the profound effect on our physical, emotional and spiritual comfort and welfare.
On a broader scale, there comes topic of nations where colors play also a prominent role. Have you ever thought that why the countries of the world so much prefer their flags and also respect them by heart where as they are just small pieces of cloth possessing different colorful designs on them? This cloth possessing colorful patterns on them, are more important even as compared to their lives. This is because these colors represent different acts and emotions of life. White symbolizes peace, red symbolizes both love & anger, yellow is for friendship, bright colors represent energy, life and joy and green implies brotherhood. Similarly different colors own different meanings which represent the characteristics of that particular country.

We will not go down (Song for Gaza)

We Will Not Go Down

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they're dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who's wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

We shall live to see

We shall live to see,
So it is writ,
We shall live to see,
The day that's been promised,
The day that's been ordained,
The day when mountains of oppression,
Will blow away like wisps of cotton;
Whe the earth will dance
Beneath the feet of the once enslaved;
And heavens shall shake with thunder
Over the heads of tyrants;
And the idols in the House of God
Will be thrown out;
We, the rejects of the earth,
Will be raised to a place of honor.
All crowns shall be tossed in the air,
All thrones shall be smashed
And God's word will prevail,
He who is both present and absent
He who is beheld and is the beholder.
And truth shall ring in every ear,
Truth which is you and I,
We, the people will rule the earth
Which means you, which mean I
