Intellect entails responsibility

Image

The more intellect a person has the more he/she is responsible. When the intellect is missing, the responsibility is also not there.  Little children are not held responsible, because their intellect has not yet developed. The insane are not responsible, because they have lost the intellectual capacity. However, part of our being human is also that we make mistakes. Sometime we make mistakes without deliberation and intention. But sometime we knowingly and deliberately sin and do wrong to others. It is said, “to err is human and to forgive is divine.” Both parts of this statement are very true. As human beings we are responsible, but we do also make mistakes and we are constantly in need of forgiveness.

The Moon in My Bedroom

By Tarita Kulkani
Can you see the moon anytime in the day? No, the  moon   appears only after sunset. You are wrong. They appear all the time. We can see it only when it is dark. However, leave that aside; as you can see, the moon is visible both day and night, even in a bedroom. I have moons in my bedroom. My 3-year-old son discovered this. He is an astronomer, lol. There are four round-shaped ceiling lights in my bedroom, the four moons for my son. Yes, his bedroom is his planet. Kids are imaginative. Let them create the world in their imagination.

The Heavenly Honeymoon

By Tarita Kulkani
After the wedding, Om was posted to Ladakh. Pinki remained in the village. He seldom visited home to be with his family. They had two children. After retirement, he decided to spend the rest of his life with his family. By then, the children were adults. Their daughter was married, and their son had also married and gone on his honeymoon with his wife, Radha. Pinki still felt distant from Om. She once expressed her desire to go on a honeymoon to her daughter-in-law. Radha booked the tickets for them. The next morning, they did not wake up. Instead, they embarked on their heavenly honeymoon together. Photo by  cottonbro  from  Pexels
