A New Earth Begins

Sometime in 2020, the world changed its order. People began to take stock of the way they lived and started a revolution by prioritizing what was essential to living proper lives.

A change in mindset changed the ways of Man and it came with the first lessons in humility.

The arrogance that they controlled the lives of their species was denounced by a virus. 

We fell powerless into the hands of a pandemic. We then recount that life is as fragile as a 

shard of glass.

Unlike the days when we believed that luxury and comfort ruled the universe, now we learned to go back to the basics, to the kampung style of simpletons and songs, of planting seeds and raking love.

Homes became the center-point of all activity. Conglomerates fell to mediocrity and life took on a new meaning sans insider trading!

War and men of power have never been far apart. 

As hardships grew with displacements, a warning came in the form of grave catastrophes that resulted in millions of deaths in every part of the world.

It was Mother Nature's way of retaliating against all the actions of ignorant and destructive Men.

Men were a danger to their own kind. They killed for religion, power, fame, and of course Money.

As more and more men die for their own cause, the cry for unity had never been louder than now.

A new Earth begins with new askance. For lesser strive, for lesser killings, and lesser disunity.

Once we begin to unify as a human race, you take away the power of dissatisfaction. 

Perhaps, then, we can together live a life of peaceful existence.

Does Nature Discrimate the Downtrodden?

I watch the villagers come out when the weather gets cool in the evenings, looking up with eager eyes for signs of rain, praying that their crops are safe and don’t wither under the persistent scorching sun.

Seeds dying even before they sprout are as common as the dust-filled roads that mar the paths they tread upon. Their animals, bared of flesh, are constantly in their minds. Their bony form requires nourishment and water so that they can turn the soils of the land and be a source of staples.

Can Yearning Hearts Be Pacified With A Touch of Beauty Instead?

But when has beauty been enough to feed a body and soul? Not even the constellation can dazzle so as to silence an hungered heart.

Sparse rain in areas of the poor reek of discrimination even by nature.

“The dry winds blew dust, while the unbearable heat parched our throats and body. The sweat that dripped from our bodies was as sparse as the water that we drank each time we couldn’t stand the heat.”

Another Epic Story crafted By Shobana Gomes, the author of Amazon's No.1 best-seller, under Ancient & Classical Literature, The Goddess of the Himavan.

I Think Men Die More Than They Live.

I think men die more than they live! 

The notion that money made the world go round, began to take root in men from the inception of the dollar and cents. 

As the world of economics began to evaluate successes by the number of dollars you have in your bank account, men made a beeline for the greenback or any of the currencies one is aligned to. 

So then, as the disparity between the middle class, the poor, and the rich began to widen, men started striving even more to make ends meet, reach their millionaire status, or as in the case of the middle-class society, they had to strike a balance between staying middle-class, or stumbling back into the poor category, or working hard to achieve their first million. 

It became a rat race for humanity as a whole.

As a result, the family institution slowly began to take a backseat.

Working to rise became a fixture in their minds, so much so that they forgot that they had to live. They forgot that they had only one life and that eventually what was important was their happiness.

I have never seen a billionaire who is happy inside. They are always chasing some new way to advance, be it in their careers, or lifestyle, and money remains their main criterion. They believe in competing in every aspect of their life even when they have attained all they can and want. Plus, learn the fears of insecurities. As they become stewards in their profession, they are susceptible to making enemies.

They forsake their health for singularity. To be the best there was, is, or ever will be.

I believe they themselves let die their inner peace for a life of chaos and concerns. The root of chaos begins at the start of dissatisfaction. Concerns begin when you realize that you have brought it upon yourself to meddle with chaos.

It then results in a never-ending chase for freedom. The freedom of mind, heart, and even soul.

This is why the wise say, a balance is required in everything you do. Like the balancing scale, each relevance in your life has to measure equally.

No one lives a perfect or perfected life, but they can strive for peace of heart, mind, and happiness while chasing the wealth they need to sustain their lives.

Not that money is not important to me, it is. But, I want to live before it consumes my whole - shobana
