The human connection

    I happen to see an Instagram post on 'The Human Library' in Denmark where you get people to hear you out or rent you out like books. Isn't it interesting?  On the darker side of it, has humanity reached a point where you have to rent out people like books?       In the midst of this AI revolution that is trendy now a days, we have been on the verge of major transition. Particularly, we (Humans) have become addicted to technology and have been so dependent on it that we spend on an average 141 minutes (i.e. 2 hours 21mins) on social media across the globe.  That also means the average human attention span has reduced from 12 seconds in 2000 to 7 seconds in 2024.  What does that mean?            Its adding a little bit of impatience, stress, anxiety, self obsession etc. to our mind. Is that fine?  Image credit - Freepik     Yeah on a short term basis, if you can deal with it with alternatives to ...

Who Am 'I'?

    I just met a stranger on one of the social media platforms lately. With the introductions around, I asked him who he was. He started with his work, nature of work, how he lost his job a year ago etc. I again asked him, who he was, as his work does not define who he is.     The biggest question is 'Who am "I"?'.

We are so much more in life than what we work and the titles that we hold in our job. We are Humans first.  Spirituality the words 'I am' has a very powerful impact on our minds. It is said that if you attach another verb to 'I am' then it influences your way of living thru manifestations. Few of t...

Compassion at the core!

          Emotionally speaking it is good to help people. Believe me the needy people are the ones that need your support. But unfortunately not everyone appreciates your help. It is those disgusting folks who does not appreciate your help are the ones that I feel pity on. Grow up man. Have some decency in life.          Courtesy is a gentleman's game. But if your kindness and soft hearted nature is being taken advantage for then believe me you need to show who you really are. At times it is not compassion that is needed but assertiveness to handle such folks.            You know the famous saying from Dalai Lama  "Compassion and Tolerance is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength". Would having more of it, cost you?
