Live and Let Live!

Live & Let Live!


The song goes...
I am my Own Man,
I do My Own Thing.......
Yeah! of course...every human being is an individual, with seperate identities, mannerisms, charachter, likes and dislikes!
When these individual human beings contribute together, the society is formed. in a society, there is give and take, acceptance of another's being, undestanding of each others characters and so on.
for me, I was brought up in a household, where i was taught it was impolite even to point you finger, let alone comment on another individual. my mother and the sunday school taught me...
If you point ONE FINGER at another person,
Remember, 4 FINGERS are pointing back at you!

But all those old school morals are gone now. The youth of today (i have met many in the very circle i mingle) doesnt care if they hurt another individuals feelings by commenting on him or her!
We all have our own space! if somebody penetrates that space , be it physically or verbally, the most automatic response is to go on the defensive..its human conditioning!
So to all those folks out there...resepect me and my space, i respect you and yours
Live and let Live!
Jusst like in facebook...if u poke, i poke back....its automatic..
if u insult, i insult back and dont feel bad when i sult you..coz that was of course coming for you!
think before you leap or speak.....you may fall down or you may never be able to take back what you have spoken!

Ciao!

So ..Live and Let Live!

Youth - A Poem by Samuel Ullman - The Most Motivational Poem I have Ever Come Across

I dont know when i came across this Poem. I think it was in one of those old Reader's Digests. This Poem has remained in my conscious and sub conscious mind for all the time. When ever i felt lost or felt let down or felt burnt out, i would recall the lines of the Poem and Life began fresh again for me. Before the poem, let me say a few words about Samuel Ullman - Samuel Ullman was a former confedate soldier, businessman, a very religious man and a poet too. At the age of 78 he wrote his most popular and motivating poem "Youth" - An optimistic Celebration of Youth. He wrote: "Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals." With a wave of optimism, the poem became a favorite of General Douglas MacArthur who framed and hung Ullman's words in his offices in Manila and Tokyo. "Whether seventy or sixteen, there is in every being’s heart a love of wonder" Ullman said. Youth was published in the Japanese v
