Paradox === A brilliant example...

Paradox - "A statement that seems contradictory or absurd but is actually

valid or true."

Few centuries ago, a Law teacher came across a student who was willing to learn but was unable to pay the fee.

The student struck a deal saying, "I would pay your fee the day I win my first case in the court".

Teacher agreed and proceeded with the law course.

When the course was finished and teacher started pestering the student to pay up the fee, student reminded the deal and pushed days.

Fed up with this, the teacher decided to sue the student in the court of law and both of them decided to argue for themselves.

The teacher put forward his argument saying:
"If I win this case, as per the court of law, student has to pay me. And if I lose the case, student will still pay me because he would have won his first case.

So either way I will have to get the money".

Equally brilliant student argued back saying: "If I win the case, as per the court of law, I don't have to pay anything to the teacher. And if I lose the case, I don't have
to pay him because I haven't won my first case yet. So either way, I am not going to pay the teacher anything".

This is one example of a paradox.

Few lines from a poem by The Great Mystic rumi...

If we come to ignorance, that is His prison.
And if we come to knowledge, that is his Balcony

If we come to sleep ,we are His drowsy ones.
And if we come to wake,we are in His hands.

If we come to weeping,we are His clouds full of raindrops.
And if we come to laughing, we are His lightning in that moment.

If we come to anger and battle,it is the reflection of His wrath.
And if we come to peace and pardon ,it is the reflection of his LOVE

A Whole New World

I can show you

the world
Shining, shimmering,
splendid
Tell me, princess,
now when did
You last let your
heart decide?
*
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder
by wonder
Over, sideways
and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic
point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're
only dreaming
*
A whole new world
A dazzling
place i never knew
But when i'm
way up here
It's crystal clear
That now i'm in a whole
new world with you
Now i'm in a whole new
world with you
A whole new world
Don't you dare close
your eyes
A hundred thousand
things to see Hold your breath — it
gets better I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go hack to where
i used to be
*
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me.

Valentine Day : Shades of love

“Love in the heart was not meant there to stay. Love is not love till you give it away”. For love to be ever lasting and eternal every one should be aware of the different stages of love and know its significance. Following are the different phases through which you will travel in your love life and only those who pass it will have an endless love.

ATTRACTION

Attraction can be defined as something, which is more than friendship and is a step towards getting ready for a relationship. Now attraction is of two types:
a. Physical Attraction - happens when your body reacts to another person. Heart rate increases; temperature rises, palms get sweaty; stomach flutters; throat tightens; etc. This is what will tell you that you are ready for the first contact and also whether you are comfortable in the company of the other person.
b. Emotional Attraction - develops next if the circumstances are right. After being drawn to a person physically, you then begin to come closer. If you find you have things in common — hobbies, ideologies, career, education, or some other common ground — then an emotional attraction starts to form. Sometimes an emotional attraction can occur even when a physical attraction does not. And in this case, the bond will be stronger between the two who connect, since no preconceived notions based on physical appearance has occurred.



INTIMACY

Intimacy is something, which a person experiences when you learn to trust and believe your lover. It is a close association with another person of the deepest nature. You share you thoughts, feelings, and dreams. You feel free to discuss everything with this person and you are absolutely comfortable in his company. Thus intimacy develops gradually. If you can’t establish intimacy with your partner, your relationship may work for a while, but is unlikely to endure throughout the years. Intimacy is actually the path to a true, healthy and beautiful relationship.



ROMANCE

Romance is the essence of a relationship. Without romance your love life will not exist. Romance is the true identity of your love. It brings out your true self and helps you be a better lover, husband and partner. Romance is a celebration of the life you live as part of a couple. It springs naturally and originates from within your heart. It makes you do things that you possibly couldn’t have imagined to do otherwise. It shows you who you are and reminds you of the role you play in a relationship. Romance is not responsibility but it is caring about your responsibilities towards your lover and partner. Romance is the appreciation of two people who are celebrating the lucky coincidence that they found each other.



PASSION

The third stage is passion, which basically means a desire for another person, which has grown to an intensity that can’t be ignored. This is often where an emotional relationship turns into a physical relationship. The passion stage is very important. For from here you will understand the true meaning and nature of your relationship. If there is no passion then its best to let go but if there is passion in your relationship then it is time to go on to the next stage.


COMMITMENT

The last stage is commitment. This is when you know that you want to spend your whole life with this person you love and you can do anything for him. It is when your whole world just revolves round your lover and you take a pledge to remain true to your mate throughout good and bad times, be by his side whenever he needs you.

I hate being by myself, to be honest. It’s not because I get bored by myself, and it’s not even necessarily because I get lonely (well, not entirely, anyways). It’s because whenever I’m alone, I almost always end up turning introspective. I have to start looking at myself – what I’ve done, how I’ve felt, what I’ve wanted and hated and wished I could’ve just forgotten entirely.
It’s like all of my anxieties and self-doubts start creeping up on me, and when they do, they won’t go away. I can’t remember anything good I’ve done, no matter how hard I try, and one by one each of my failings rears its terrifying head and reminds me just how worthless I am. How unlovable. How empty. How pathetic and pitiable.
I’ll see lies and denials, letting me know how I’ve tried to protect myself by shutting everyone else out. I’ll see jobs half-finished because I knew I wasn’t good enough, I knew I shouldn’t have even bothered starting. I’ll see the looks of disappointment on everyone’s faces during those times when I just didn’t care.
But maybe even that’s too arrogant of me. One can’t be disappointed without expectations, after all – and is it even right of me to assume that anyone expects anything out of me? I certainly don’t. I just act like an idiot if something goes wrong; or rather, if I do something wrong. Inevitably it’s my fault somewhere down the line.
It’s worst whenever the faces get less cloudy, though. Can my dad still be proud of me, even though I’m a wuss and a cheat? Can my coaches and teachers still care about my performance when I stopped caring and just gave up on myself? Can the girl I love love me for who I am when I hate myself? That’s the worst part of it, and if I don’t get sick then I just break down and lose it.
Sometimes, I want to blame something on someone else. I don’t even want a scapegoat for all my problems – I just want to believe that at least one of them isn’t my fault.

What is inevitable

I don't understand why people wish for life. we live to die. as soon as we are born, as soon as we take our first breathe we begin to die. we don't get any younger, only older. some mourn over the loss of a loved one, and want to be with them. to some it may seem like an eternity, but it is merely years before we join them. the fact is that we will all die. there is no escaping, no hiding from, and no fight that can win over death. some may say that they have escaped death, but this isn't true. they just weren't meant to die. you either die or you don't. some die earlier than others, but that is just how it is. you can live life to it's fullest and take every chance that you can to make your life wonderful. these are ways to ease pain and suffering. or to have a good time, it all depends on the person. if you have the morbid thought of death lurking in your mind, it may only ease the pain. if you are joyful and carefree, thay may add to your good times. but you see, i cannot get this thought off of my mind, this thought of death. it often scares me, of how my life will just simply end, if how i will cease to be. i find no comfort in peoples words of how i will not be forgotten, for i will. no one will remember me. i will be lost.
