What do you mean when you
say, "I respect you?" Go ahead take 10 seconds; you admire one's
qualities, skills, achievements, and then you have the due regards for their
feelings. Do you actually care what other people think about you, unless
or until they meet you face to face? Maybe sometimes or maybe never. But
at any given time you would tell a complete stranger that you respect
them. Why? In order to get their attention and put a thought in their mind that
you were the bigger person or first one to acknowledge their skills or whatever
you liked about them and thinking that now the second person is bound to
respect you back as a social obligation. I am not talking about all of you but
"some" of you. Maybe one of you, the one who seeks respect, as if it
is an office lunch on the daily basis without which you will collapse on your
way to home. This seven letter word "RESPECT" is the hardest
thing to achieve in this world. You can’t buy it, neither can you steal it,
moreover, sometimes you won’t even realize that you have it already...
respect. But people who seek it, demand it, have a serious brain
condition, some even call it ADHD—Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and
other personality disorders. It is okay if someone respects you; it is also okay
if that very person disrespects you; what is not okay is your desire to be
respected by that very particular person. My friend, life is too short for
figuring out how many people respect you, it is all about why do they respect
you, and if you know the reason please maintain that quality in you because you
are inspiring others for that very quality now and people would love to adopt
that quality. And at the last, I would just say pay respect with actions, not
with words.
Science Never Clashes with Spirituality The Wheel of Creation is the English translation of the collected volume of Hindi poems “Srishti Chakra” written by Rakhi Roy Halder. Her students of Loreto college, Kolkata translated many poems of this book, under the guidance of the editor of the book Subhasree Basu, faculty of Loreto College. Man is an integral part of creation. His life is governed by the law of the universe. The human intellect categorizes things for the convenience of understanding. This categorization leads to a disintegrated view of creation. Science versus spirituality is one such example of disintegrated vision. As described by Swapna Behera—Educationist, Editor, and Bilingual Author, The Wheel of Creation is a rare combination of Science and Poetry. This collection of poems aims at expressing the roller coaster ride that is life and uniting the spiritual and scientific consciousness to reveal the magical power of energy flowing through the entire universe, which pla...
