Give It Away

Generosity is a virtue and highly valued by man and God. We sometimes thinkthat if we were rich, we, too, could afford to be generous. Generosity is a frame ofmind and a point of character that we all need. Being rich is not a prerequisite tobeing generous. Learning to give and care for people is a habit we all need todevelop.

What can we give in abundance when we have no money? The most valuablethings of all come from a well that has no limit and never runs dry. Those thingsinclude courtesy, kindness, counsel, respect and love. These things cost us

nothing.

When we are generous with these gifts that cost us nothing, the rewards aregreatest. Luke 6:38 explains that when we give, we will receive in greatabundance. We do not give in order to receive, but that is Gods reward. Proverbs28:27 carries a promise from God that the giver will not lack. Be a wise andcheerful giver.

My vital life #Part 1-The disparity of affluent and indigent

I hereby covets to tell you all about my life candidly.Indigent people is getting more in countries,nonetheless affluent ones are gettingmore.This disparity is huge enough,and what I am acquainted with is thataffluent ones disdain indigent ones,and I'm one of the indigent ones.I camethrough trails and tribulations in my life and but the bulk of them I did notrebuke nor take them grudgingly.For instance,I have a lovely white shoe,and itgets antique every year.Of course it is being washed,but you can visualize whatwould happen to my shoe after being scrubbed for a multitude of times.

Solely a minority of affluent people is humane and help the indigent ones all theycan.Their effort is laudable,for they are the most dominant benefactor.This isauthentic.This is what I call humane.The LORD will inevitably bless them,I cansubstantiate.Even the indigent endeavour to help the affluent,which is an

unforeseen one,but it their effort shalt not be disdained.

I,covets that there will be no crisis instability in the disparity of people,for we areequivalent and isn't labyrinthine to assimilate.We shall live with peace andharmoniously,and the devoid of another world war(world war 3).We can alterit.Thereby let's upgrade the world and stop grief invariably.

Greetings to all my vivacious readers,I am taking you to a unique intuition ofphilosophy,whereby I elucidates everything with all I am acquainted with.Thepart 2 would be much more stimulating and influential.

I am,as aforementioned,quite indigent but still adequate to eat,pay and live.Butbeing a misanthrope is unfeasible for me.Misanthropes are devoid ofhumanity,they show disdain to people.They are selfish,hatred and haughty.Theycare solely themselves,the misdeamour is abhorrent.No one wants to have makeacquaintances with them.

Misanthropes can lead to demerits.Philanthropists can lead to merits.

Philanthropists are literally humane for they give a raft of valuable,productivethings to needy people.As what had cited in the Bible-if you give,you will receivemore.It is authentic,for the needy will inevitably praise and being obliged to thephilanthropist.This merits is more significant.All will make acquaintances withthem.

It's one volition to be either those two types of people.Though one is indigent ornot intelligent,he can bestow humanity.

I have one acquaintance who cited that he's a misanthrope.But I do not know ifhe is equivocating or what,he is apparently benign to me and others.This is a

doubt-is he literally a misanthrope?Or is he a misanthrope to people whom heperceive are strangers?

Though you do not know who others are,you should endeavour to know themexplicitly,not just disdain them.

I do not know why I behave the way I do? Is it programming? Is it justpreconditioning? Or to put just a little differently, am I just the upshot of acircumstance of my parents' conjugal relationship? Or if they have not conjugatedby the bond of love or by a sexual urge my existence would have been animpossibility? Or is it something Hinduism and Buddhism are busy with defining

out of the Karmic circle I am just here writing and expressing funny ideas. I cannot in fact make an inference or reference to hardwire myself into sets ofsatisfactory notions of what I am and what why I am here.

I am just a silhouette of the object called reality, living of course in a world whichis deemed Maya, sheer illusion and nothing of me, my existence, my doings, mylegacies matter at the end of the day and I just vaporize into the infinity of theunknowns?


4/8

I am an enigma, or a quiver of combinations of molecules, or molecular forces,scientifically speaking or Brahma manifested fleetingly to restore myself to myorigin after a short respite, or just tides with ebbs and flows in this endless eddycalled life.

I want you to define my life, philosophies to confine within sets of theories, orreligious principles to bind on me to characterize me.

I am the sum & substance of this and that, and all that I know, and of course allthat I do not know. I am the world I live, and I am the God I idolize or thesupermen I lionize. I am the totting up of all you know of me and you do not. I attimes shrink into a sheer mole and into void and at another time my egos go onswelling infinitely and I rise mountainously to a size that is astronomical and theentire cosmos get squeezed into my being.

Am I the way I write?

This I can not say at all that writings speaks much of the person one is, for writingcan not express much of what goes on within us.

Man in fact is a queer creature with a varied layered mind. He deceives himselfpretty often.

I do not speak everything I think. I am at liberty to think the way I choose. But Ican not speak the way I think. My conscious mind censures all that I want tospeak.

Our writings do not represent us fully.

We may have many pretexts or pretensions.

We think funnily and see funny dreams. Our civilization disapproves anddenunciates things we think.

We are conditioned to speak the way the society we live in expect from us.The real self gets liquidated in the process.

We are embargoed to respond to external stimuli the way we choose primordially.

We are caged and there are iron bars around our mental chambers.

There are too many walls and we are too weak to break free.

Do not expect I am honest or any writer for that matter honest to what he or shewrites and most of them are pretensions flow out of vain glories and nothing else.


5/8

I am not the way I write.My writing is the fabrics of my imagination and I am the stuff concrete in themake.

Do not confute others. What you perceive to be truth is not truth, but the shadowof it or the faade of it. After a while it no longer becomes existentially visible.What we see is a series of manifestations only.

We are obsessed with things, love, wealth, sex, territory. But see theirimpermanence, evanescence. All fleet.

I do not mean to dispel all these things. But to be aware of the fact that we mustbe indifferent to these things. While we are too much with the world, a sense ofdetachment must embody us.

We know things keep on happening eternally and we simply go adrift with thephenomena and swept by all that take place or happen we must try to understandthem.

This is what the Buddha realized and he awakened himself. We are still in deepslumber.


6/8

At times I live with vainglory and try to be what I am not. The real me isconcealed and the false me is manifest. I am by nature a simple man born of asimple parent and grew up simple folks. Now in the city I am trying to cover upwhat I really am and presenting myself in the order that does not reflect me. I amdaydreaming and forgetting or hiding the man I am I became an actor, ahypocritical actor.

And the world today is what it should not be with people with self conceit anddeceitfulness. There is constant friction between two warring forces. One is thereal one and the other with a label. It is not the person that is recognized it isindeed the label that speaks about the person.

Let us remove the label and present oneself unpretentiously and naturally, nottrying to be what we are not.

Remove the layers or labels of personalities, recognitions and things that delimitor define you. You are limitless and indefinable.

I am not a Guru, and the way I present ideas keep me akin to something of aGuru. I write what occurs to me. I have no followers or desire to make at all. Ideasspring up from the fountainhead and we know it very much.

Behaving truthfully and presenting yourself as you are keeps you closer andcloser to life.

I kind of engage in unfolding the fact whether or religious beliefs acts as elixirs or

they are toxics. Mostly I take them as something that lolls us into a world ofdelusions, into something unsubstantial or not of this world in point of fact. There are

too many examples to put forward the fact that religions more often than not havedisgraced us and we have jihads, holy wars in the name of religions. Hitler tried to

shore up his own religion, and there were many cases of warring lords involved in

accentuating their particular lines of faiths. There are too many examples that

endorse the fact that religious beliefs have rendered the world uglier and uglier.However I can not discount the fact that without religions the world will be uglier andshabbier than it is now. We have no substitution to subrogate it.

I often wonder what we will happen if we totally disregard religions. In point of factmost of our values are rooted in religious beliefs. Our scriptures preach us we must

be humble, and sermonizes that we need to be kind and compassionate.

Man if take religious values aside is likened to an animal, and can interbreed between


7/8

kinfolks, like mother and son can mate in the animal world and but in the humanworld it is something derogative or unthinkable.

And taking all these considerations I wind up concluding that religions are panaceas

some of their wrong applications under certain conditions. Religions have set in ourDNA and to ignore religious values is now to offset all we stand for. All our moral,

ethical or social codes are inscribed in religions, and upsetting religious values to liveon in a society is unimaginable at this juncture now.

A reply-

I disrespectfully candidly disagree with your statement, "Religions have set in our

DNA and to ignore religious values is now to offset all we stand for. All our moral,ethical or social codes are inscribed in religions, and upsetting religious values to live

on in a society is unimaginable at this juncture now."

First, there is no DNA signature for religion. Although, if there was one it would makelife a bit easier. At least we would know why we, as a species, tend to believe in

impossible things.Second, you are choosing to only look at those "religious values" that match our

contemporary values. Islam, Hinduism and Christianity, just to name the religious"big three", are filled with values that today we despise and reject.

Third, values, ethics and morals have since the ancient Greeks been discussed withno direct relation to religion. For the ancient Greeks and Romans, religion was a state

enterprise. Religious practice in both those ancient societies had no implicationtowards personal belief. Personal belief came about as a result of the break away

Jewish sect now called Christianity.

Now, for some questions-

If we apply the congruent logic of using religious belief as the the government of

Israel does in occupying Palestinian territory, does that mean that the NativeAmericans can start throwing American families from their homes?

What about Mexicans throwing Americans out of their homes through out the

southwestern part of the US?Can Ireland finally take back the Protestant counties in the north?

How about the religious aspects of Darfur?Last but not least, how would any religion purpose to resolve the fact that the US

does not have a national educational system because of the disputes among thevarious sects of Christianity? Many third world countries have national educational

systems that aren't hindered by religious views?

I say these things without meaning to disrespect any one particular religious beliefover another. Because each one of the "big three" are filled with contradictory sects

that cause themselves enough grief. I just raise them because I wonder why peopleat large, non-believers and the multitude of believers that exist should accept any

one moral, ethical or value orientated belief over another.Isn't it better to discuss morals and values on a secular playing field, where all are

equal, and let personal beliefs remain personal?

The author himself is unbridled at thinking exquisitely, and he had amplified

everything he cited in his cogitations. There are lowdown expressed herein,

cacography, but I would like to confer my apologies for my slipshod

demeanour.
