Any-one out there?

peace

I am just going to write a very very short note. It's just that I sign in to write something in my mind that I wanted to discuss but I was thinking is any-one reading this. To be honest with you I am not to fussed about subscribers etc. and the whole point of me blogging is sharing my thoughts with others, but the question is is there any-one reading this really, would be interesting just for you to let me know...leave a comment.....share your thoughts with me.......even if you dissagree...dont worry I have though skin and I can handle it.........


Oh another research I stumbled on today:Apparently Sweden is no 2 country to grow up in..after netherland....according to the researchers the country has the highest percentage of healthiest children in terms of intellectuallity (if there is a word like this) and eating habits. I found this interessting since I myself usedto live in this country and I do think that they do a very good job in introducing healthy lifestyle to kids from very young age....but un terms of growing up there are alot of issues........to be continued

Respect?

I bet you already know what I want to talk about by reading the title, but please don't think oh here we go again another person lecturing us on respect! but seriously I have been silently observing things happening around me and I just question peoples intention sometimes. my first question is what is the definition of respect according to the accurate description and this is what I found:

1) to avoid the violation of someones feelings
2) to regard someone/something state with honor and consideration

and then I think no-one has ever had to tell me these consept its logical isnt it or is it? even if your parent have never tought you the concept of not violating someone elses feelings or honor its just ingraved in us as human beings, or is it? and then you meet people and this is sometimes the problem, you meet people who have no consideration for pure humanity and you try to and you try your hardest to understand the lack of consideration in their behaviour and their actions and you fail to understand it becasue you discover its complex and it involves complexcities in their lives and experiences which has shaped their behaviour and personality but what the fail to understand is that their lack of consideration and lack of non-violent behaviour has a greater implication. Just look around you in a greater perpectives: the wars, humanitarian and environmental crises, inequalities (gender as well as financial status), racism, interpersonal crises (marriages, parents versus children, employers versus employees, work collegues etc) have in them the reason of lack of respect in one way or which starts as lack of willingly acknowliging the other party (in terms of the environmental issue lack of respect for environmental laws) and that lack turns into lack of understanding and that can easily turn into violation of the honor and that initself forms tension and all apprectioations and coherences goes out of the window. SAD isn't it really.......humanity for you.........I would like to relate a story I am not sure if it should be related under this topic and wheather it has any link to what I have just mentioned but its just popped into my head and so I will have to say it any whay, so here it goes:

Moses (peace upon him) asked god who will join me in paradise and god responded that the next person who will join you will pass by you in a while, and so moses waited eagerly to find out. He was thinking it would be someone who was highly thought of in terms of no faults and so on and so the person passed him by and he saw that it was and ordenairy guy and and so moses decided to follow him to discover what was special with him. He saw him entering a small house belonging to an old lady and because the windows were open moses would observe what was happening inside the house. he observed him going into the kitchen and making food and sat next to the elderly lady and before continuing moses decided to go into the house. He asked the guy who are you and what are doing in this elderly lady's house. The guy said: this is my mother and come several times during the day to help her out and my mum keeps repeating a prayer for me constantly and that is to: I pray that my son becomes the companion of moses in paradise. In fact this man had respect not only for his mum, but for the environment, his co-workers,his, his friends, his own family and for life!
