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 the fact aside as you can see the moon day and night that too 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.  Photo by Eileen lamb from Pexels

Mistakes Do Happen

By Tarita Kulkani
Yes, mistakes can happen even if you try every attempt to avoid them. Mistakes happen not knowingly. You came to know only when everything went wrong. They are like unwanted guests, who irritate you badly till when they are at your place. But it is not so that you will suffer the consequence throughout your life just due to few mistakes. You can correct them once you realize. Guests do not come to your place to stay forever. They will go later or sooner. But if you provide them the liberty to stay in your home without showing your pain, they will enjoy their stay in your place and not bother to move. So are the mistakes. If you will not try to rectify your mistakes, they will keep pinching you for long time. So, don’t get adjustable with them, weed them out as soon as possible. We are human and not God. So, it is very usual for us to commit mistakes. But repetition of mistakes is not at all good. Those who repeat mistakes are not being, they are either fool, demon, or impractical. ...

Time is powerful...

By Tarita Kulkani
Yes, there is nothing as powerful as time; all you need is patience. If darkness has come to your life, definitely you will get the sunshine. Remember, at time you need the darkness to feel the power of light. The following quote is very true...so you should never devalue or hurt anyone...if you are doing so, your 'karma' will change the circumastances and you are bound to suffer the pain harder than you have given to somebody and you will be devalued to the extent that you can never look up...mind it, never, never in your life...
