Orenda

Seriously I don’t know what to write or where to start. But I know that I have got many things to tell this world. May I say sorry in the beginning itself because I have a feeling that this post is going to go everywhere and nowhere. These are my raw emotions.

I am not a big fan of news yet with news everywhere around one can hardly escape from its clutches. Moreover although it depresses me it inspires the writer in me, it ignites the fire in me.

Anyhow, I got to hear the news today as my parents are ardent devotees of news channels. I tried my best to distract myself, but my mind kept going back and catching glimpses and pieces of it…

One after the other violence, treachery, betrayal, hatred, and the list goes on. I closed my eyes in silent prayer, praying that they be given the strength to overcome all that could have been and should have been avoided.

How did we reach here? Has the world always been like this? Because, the stories that I know from my culture, those I have heard about native tribes around the world and stories that I have read from holy books are ones of sacrifice, love, empathy, care, kindness and sharing.

Now it feels like we can no longer trust anyone. A friend rooting for me in public might be praying for my fall. The loving and caring spouse or lover of mine might be plotting to see my destruction.

Promises don’t matter anymore, authenticity doesn’t matter, peace doesn’t matter, values don’t matter. All that matters is kill whoever but make money, cheat whoever but make fame. I am a strong believer that money is not evil, but the things that we do for it is what makes money good and bad.

Influencers and celebrities root for one thing and make money from it. But they turn and do the exact opposite. What has happened to this world?

Innocent lives(human and animal lives) are being shed like there is nothing to think about. We have forgotten that we feel for a reason, we connect for a reason and that we are social beings for a reason.

We have forgotten our roots. As children get plucked out of nature and planted within containers and their growth sourced by screens, humans have started losing how it feels to be like someone else.I strongly believe that solution to all our problems lies in nature. Ohhhh how calming it is to gaze into the horizon for few minutes without anything in mind.

We have forgotten how to forgive, we have forgotten how to love simply for loving. Atheists say we only live once so do all that matters, why add value? Religious ones say God set so and so rules, and following that is what matters.

What ever you say or whatever you believe if We are here only for ourselves then why do we need plants, animals and other elements of nature for survival? If only rules would open the doors to the kingdom, why did God teach to love the outcasts of the time and to walk in faith?

As I said I have talked about many things and nothing. Still there are many things weighing my mind. But I am unable to put them into words. But one thing before I go…

Never let anyone make you feel small for being good or different or for standing for the voiceless. You are right and you have been planted here by whatever force you believe in, for a reason.

And always keep in mind that Means always matter in the end.

If you feel like please suggest a better title.

Keep thinking

Keep shining

BE THE CHANGE 💕
