Where is the Love?

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. Today people are worried about the future even more. 

 

Crisis and compassion

 

Owing to so many problems deeper than what it looks like, the search for happiness is even more! 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. People are becoming easily selfish and segregating the public between corona affected and not affected. All we need right now is help and understanding instead of divisions and hatred. 

 

Yes, these are the times of extreme fear of contracting the disease, but extremes are unacceptable. We need to create a better world. We need people to be more caring than money-minded for a new beginning. 

 

The power of music

 

The song “Where’s the Love” will make you think on so many levels. Similarly, songs like Heal the World by Michael Jackson and the Age of Reason by Black Sabbath has meaningful lyrics. It makes you think about being the change, positively appreciate this gift of life, to take care of yourself but also help people in need- that is where the love is. 

Music has a huge role to play in a person’s life. It changes you internally. Your taste in music shows who you are. Spread love through it in the world where there is war, terrorism, natural calamities, etc. It is like self-help as well. You just need to listen to the right ones. 

 

It is a difficult time today. Believe in the power of now and move forward courageously. Listen to others sometimes is a way of showing love too. Make yourself believe in Love all over again and that the world will become a better place. Unless it doesn’t start with you, it never will. It is the need of the hour.

What are the odds?

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...

What is a Meaningful Life?

Some people seem to spend their whole lives disgruntled, in search of a reason, a  positive   purpose. Philosopher Iddo Landau advocates that all of us have everything we need for a significantly meaningful existence. A meaningful life is one in which there are enough aspects of adequate value, and pointless life is one in which there is not a satisfactory number of aspects of sufficient value.  Simplicity    For a life to be precious, or important, it needn’t have to be unique. Believing that specialness is tied to meaning is another error many people make. This mistaken belief leads some people to unreasonably see their lives as inadequately meaningful and to miss ways of enhancing meaning in life. They forget the  power of now   and this  gift of life .    We move, we meet new kind people, have fresh experiences, bump into new ideas, and age. As we change, our values alter, and so does our sense of purpose in life, which w...
