Last Hope Generation

The pandemic has created a major shift in the way we live and take things. For most of the population, it has created difficulties in terms of financial issues. We sometimes don’t even know how America is in so much debt and still running the way it is. Who does it owe that much anyway? And if it can work smoothly, so can all of the other countries. The other issue is the mental health problem that everyone is facing. The  positive  outlook doesn’t last long in such scenarios.    Climate During this pandemic, we saw the better side of climatic changes around the world in this  gift of life . Dolphin sightings, clearest of skies (minimal pollution), silence (less noise pollution), and most importantly, the largest hole in the ozone layer healed itself! Aren’t these subtle messages by the nature that we should change our way of living?   Living with minimum needs It was great to see that because of the pandemic, many had to do work on their own, b...

We like it when there has been no change around for a while in this  gift of life . At some point in time, we get used to how we live, and that's the evident and obvious reason for why we don't like change. But the reasons also run deeper than that. We also fear the new because of the ambiguity it brings. For some, though, change is a  new beginning ,  a fresh start.    Neuroscience research teaches   us that doubt registers in our brain much like mistakes and inaccuracies do. It has to be corrected before we can feel at ease again, so we'd rather not have that hanging in the air if we can avoid it. We also dread change because we fear that we might lose what's linked with that change. Our hatred of loss can even cause logic to dash out the window. This is why the study shows that gamblers at a horse track who are having a day of loss are most likely to gamble on the long shots, at terrible odds, on the very last race of the day. They're faced with the ...

What are the odds that we were born on this planet? What are the odds that there is life beyond this galaxy? What are the odds of getting the coronavirus again even after the vaccine is made? There are questions that we all crave answers for. While some will answer what you want to hear, the  positive , others will be objectively answering it. Biomedical research habitually focuses on the discovery of relationships (associations) between variables (phenomena or attributes). It is significant to note that association may or may not signify a causal relationship. This depends on numerous factors.    This is the  gift of life   that everyone needs to accept no matter what the answers. You are here and will be here for as long as your life permits.    Coincidence or accident?   Many believe in serendipity, signs, telepathy, things that are beyond our explanation. Some believe in the  power of now .  it is said that there is a w...

There are something that will always remain a mystery. There is so much that we don’t know about this world. For example, what was it like before the big bang? How big is the universe or is it endless? What happened before there were no living beings? While scientists are still working on the unknown, it will take a lot more time or maybe we will never find the truth. Things   about God ,  the journey after death, and before existence is unknown. We all have the curiosity of a cat and want to  self-help   to know about certain things.  What do we know? Life is the piece of existence that processes evaluate, acts, reacts, and evolves through growth (reproduction and metabolism), through  a new beginning . The key difference between life and non-life (or non-living things) is that life uses a force, energy, for physical and conscious development. Life is everything that grows and eventually dies, i.e., ceases to flourish and be cognizant.   ...

We are in a world where there is a lot of negativity. Staying positive is the new trend. As much as it sounds good, sometimes it may feel forced. The very pressure of staying positive becomes a bit much when it isn’t like that in their real world. There is this one  gift of life   where one should feel just as they do, instead of what others want them to.  What is forced or toxic positivity?   Forced positivity is the thought that people dealing with a disease need to continually portray themselves in an optimistic mood or light, and that thinking “on the bright side” will help with the hurt. This is awfully common on social media where people are anticipated to only show the good side of their lives.   The term 'toxic positivity' refers to the idea that focusing on the alleged positive emotions and reject anything that may activate negative emotions is the right way to live a life.    The pressured feeling   This kind of feeli...

There is a song called “Where’s the Love” by Black Eyed Peas. It has profound lyrics about the deprived state of the world. The words concentrated on death, children, asking questions about the abysmal world, killings, and terrorism, discrimination, justice, and corruption. At one point, the lyrics even tell you to take control of the mind in the world of change and insanity all around. It talks about the real side of the world- the media, racism, money, etc. Why are we talking about the song? It’s because the lyrics still apply for today.

There is the Pandemic which has created fear of a different kind for the current generation. Exceptional  changes   need to take place, especially in terms of compassion.

In other words, handling your mental health problems would be four times more helpful at increasing happine...

Helen Keller once said, "I am only one, but still I am one; I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and just because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do." Here are some ways to create the necessary  changes .  Identify the humanity of other people and respect their dignity   Knowingly, realize that the destitute man you pass on the street every day is, in fact, a human. Through choices of his own or situations out of his control, he ended up in these circumstances, and that makes him no less human. Warmly greet him and say hello.
