Shiva @innertalks Sadly. we get carried away by what we see and hear from the physical world which has a stranglehold on our thoughts and actions. We want to garner what we need and more with relentless “mine and yours” barrier.

Shiva @innertalks I went for American spelling as most here are from the US. The world is becoming borderless increasingly despite the threat of tariffs on trade. We need to grin and bear at the turn of events that defy reason.

Shiva @innertalks Yes, think of the consequences before we act. The consequences of some actions are irreversible. One false step can prove even fatal.

The Zen master, Clintof Zerbroski, was blind, but being blind didn't dim his inner wisdom at all. This old master could give insight to the spiritually blind people who came to him, looking for answers to what life is...

Shiva @innertalks God should have created out of thin air, but even that was created by him! Who initiated the process that keeps us guessing all the time and makes us run from pillar to post? Will we ever know? Life is momentary but how long is death and what...

Shiva @innertalks Yes, in Indonesian "air" is water. But they say it as "ayer" like Ayrton Senna as pronounced in Portuguese. IPL cricket in India is a big spectacle with TV viewership reaching 300 million. We have players and coaches from around the cricketing...

Shiva A few become archaic and some have localised relevance. American English differ from British too both in usage and meanings. Pronunciation can also be tricky at times.

Shiva @innertalks I know a few who called all the shots for their families but as age takes its toll they feel they hardly matter. Their family members have other priorities and rightfully feel the patriarch is out of touch. That leads to a sense of worthlessness....

Shiva @innertalks I have seen a few who give their undivided attention to their job so that the family is well taken care of. Upon retirement, they find their lives becoming empty, devoid of purpose, with their family drifting away. That leads to depression or even...

Shiva @innertalks Democracy and freedom are always under threat - we are skating on very thin ice. Others, hitherto treated as friends, scamper to find meaning and to make sense of the new order or disorder as if aliens have taken over their destiny.
