Shiva @angelitovillegas I think so too. I still have connections in all the places I had worked right from 1975. In fact, I walk in though hardly anyone I knew is still working there. I had tried to impart my knowledge wherever I had worked and that was really...

Shiva @innertalks "The specter of death is so dominant in some people's minds that it virtually destroys their lives. Their actions are focused on avoiding death and overcoming it by somehow denying that it is the final destiny for man. These people are really...

A big issue puts smaller ones in the shade. Now that the world is grappling with a pandemic which respects no borders, there has been a change in our agenda, sort of forced upon us. It is survival now compelling a united effort to...

Shiva @innertalks Yes, the good can never take their eyes off the ball. And it takes a longer time for them to reclaim their turf as the evil gets entrenched before we know it.

Shiva @innertalks Yes, as Gandhi said so poignantly “An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind.” “The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed.” is another of his.

Shiva Yes, Steve, the writing is loud and clear on the wall and has been there from the very beginning of mankind. United we stand, divided we fall, but the bloated ego and greed of a few have spoiled the lot.

Shiva Thanks for your detailed well-crafted response. I would say the common folks are the same everywhere but the very few dictate their evil agenda. The most highly rewarding business is the arms trade, and some sell to all and sundry. Wars are triggered by the...

Shiva @JamesHxstatic Yes, not easy to knock some sense into a few. They get carried away by quick fixes, sleight of hand. Some are prone to harakiri! Leaders should unite than divide. My respect for Biden went up many notches when he said - let us look ahead...

Shiva @innertalks I think this tells us also death follows birth - just another stage in our eternal journey. "Death be not Proud" is a poem by John Donne. "The overriding theme of the poem is that death is really nothing to be afraid of. Far from being “mighty...

Shiva @angelitovillegas Thank you, Angelito. When we lead a life that benefits others too, it touches not only our lives. That is the easiest way to find fulfillment and thereby memories worth recalling. I like to share what I have learned in life wholeheartedly.
