Shiva When we are older, it is not easy to make new friends. A few of my friends/relatives have passed on. I console myself they will know me more now and how much they mattered to me.

Shiva I recall what I had read - "The core idea is that when wrongdoing occurs, karma will naturally bring about a balancing effect. This is not about inflicting harm on another person, but rather a natural process where actions have consequences." My experience...

Prejudice is wrong and it is a negative word. Prejudice is when you hate another person or group of people just because of their race. Because they are different than you. Prejudice is also based on age, race and religion. It...

Shiva A few of our supposed leaders add fuel to the fire of emotions that are negative to divide us. A prejudiced mind is filled with misery.

Shiva For retired people like me, it is becoming an uphill task to retain the comforts that we had enjoyed. And new types of expenses add to those we cannot avoid.

Shiva I never made it in a month and now it is several months before I can spot the crossing line - like in a marathon race! However, I visit the site every day to partake in the conversation.

Shiva @Dreamerby Over a period of twenty years, I had to mediate to settle silly issues between them. Once I told them, my main problem is them and outside matters were secondary!

Shiva Old age jokes are dime a dozen. What else we can do but to ride it and laugh at ourselves. I am old and do feel my age physically though I satisfy myself that it is just another facet of life that we go through. Few people do not enjoy that phase sadly as...

Shiva @innertalks They play a role - to satisfy the cravings of a few looking for miracles all their lives! Maybe, to escape from the biting reality of life.

Shiva @innertalks I have heard of a few who go into a trance at the drop of a hat and struggle to stay rooted to life here. Yes, maybe they could also be a staged show to hoodwink others who look for miracles high and low!

Shiva Some people just lose it and take the extreme step. She might have lost all hope and left with only despair. Murdering her children is so horrible but in her anguish she might have thought better that they leave with her too. I cannot imagine taking such a...
