Not my brightest moment..
Yesterday, I got the extremely bright idea to cut out any unnatural sugar and also cut out caffeine during this week. That means no soda and no chocolate.
At lunchtime, I had the biggest headache ever, and I was sweating bullets.
I am used to drinking 6 cans of soda every day at work. When I get home, I drink another 4, for a grand total of 10 cans per day. The weekends are even worse.
So the headache is pretty self explanatory, as is the headache. I am robbing my body of its usual sugar and caffeine intake. Instead, I am replacing the soda with water, and the chocolate with fruit, thereby cutting off the sugar and the caffeine. My body then says "Something's wrong. Help", which results in headache.
When it was time for my lunch, I had one can of soda, just to make the headache go away. I am excited to see how long it will take me to be completely free of the caffeine and sugar clutches!

Sreenath the Lion
Sometime in November 2005, I read Leon Uris's novel "Exodus". This novel is about the birth of the Jewish state of Israel which became an independent country on May 14, 1948. The heroine is Miss Karen Fremont, an American nurse looking after Jewish children on the island of Cyprus. There, she meets an Israeli freedom or resistance fighter Ari Ben Canaan. The novel had been made into a 1960 US feature film bearing the same title starring Paul Newman, directed by Otto Preminger, as well as into a short-lived Broadway musical (12 previews, 19 performances) in 1971. It was a worldwide best-seller, translated into a dozen languages.
Every able-bodied Israeli citizen(both genders) aged between 18-60 years should enlist in the Israeli armed forces to serve their nation during an attack or invasion or war from external aggressors. I appreciate this policy of the Israeli government. This is not the case in India.
When I was 13 years old, i.e., sometime in 1980, I read "Roots" authored by African American author Alex Huxley. The book is about a 16 year old Gambian teenager abducted in 1767 from the Gambian village of Juffure, West Africa taken on board the American ship " Lord Ligonier" bound for Maryland and sold to a Virginia planter. This book is based on fact and not on fiction. It has all the elements of a Hollywood movie; however, no US filmmaker has come forward to adapt it to the celluloid screen.
Still vividly remembering the stories after he grew up and became a writer, Haley began to search for documentation that might authenticate the narrative. It took ten years and a half a million miles of travel across three continents to find it, but finally, in an astonishing feat of genealogical detective work, he discovered not only the name of "the African"—Kunta Kinte—but the precise location of Juffure, the very village in The Gambia, West Africa, from which he was abducted in 1767 at the age of sixteen and taken on the Lord Ligonier to Maryland and sold to a Virginia planter.
Creation of Israel, 1948 On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel.

What we are looking for, is what is looking..
Life is there to be lived..
Right, so. One can say this, if one knows how to live this life -
meaning, you are actually (fully) satisfied with your / this life and have received the tools / answers etc to know how to and you are content as such?
Here my view (key) on this:
We live to worship.
We are all like a bunch of flowers. And even if you have all of the same sorts - each individual flower's colour and shape and smell will be different.
A flower: here today, gone tomorrow. Who decides how long this flower is going to exist? smell? bloom? grow? wither?
What does a flower do? I mean, you can eat some of the species. Some rather not put your teeth in it. Of some plants you can make fragrance of it. Flowers usually are a pleasant sight - if they manage to get into full blossoms.
Life in itself is more than meets the eye. In fact, I'd say, the unseen world is more than we can fathom.
It is a proven fact that there are multiple dimensions, of which we barely touch our comprehensions in the 3rd. Let alone the other ones (who knows how many other dimensions there are)
There is an unknown (or. for some, a known) source who knows it all: The ruler of the dimensions, we call Him?
Would it not be logical to worship the One, who rules, above all?
If He is all knowing, all true, all loving. Would not He be the one who deserves our worship?
Even if we don't know everything. Because we are only human beings and will never be able to know everything.
Would I not think that He'd be the savest source for me to offer Him my worship?
Where do I put my money? Would I not be careful to whom I give my money? I mean, I wouldn't flush 100$ down the drain?
Worship is the essence of our being. In worship, things start happening, start taking place.
moments move on.
In worship, we
encourage
uplift
build better
exchange help to each other (giving without expecting something in return)
We give
we elevate
acknowledge that this ruler, G'd is a higher entity than ourselves.
So what good will come from it, if we
elevate
praise
worship
a human being, who has the same abilities (gaining limited knowledge)
and outcome (physical death)
as ourselves?
When I worship, it takes the importance of of me, and I elevate that which I worship into a higher place than myself.
Which means I lower myself automatically in front of the other identity.
But, here's the thought: why bow down to another human being, who is, like me, just the same?
Not more, or less?
If the ruler of all, the overseer of the dimensions, does it not make sense that I refuse to put anything or anyone above Him?
- not another human being
- not myself
- not the evil one (in all it's forms and forces like idolatry, witchcraft, money etc)
There is:
participate - consume - being entertained
vs
creating something yourself - anticipate - be inspiring
every one of us can switch from one to the other - that's why people 'search'?
Balance. Maybe we searchers arrive, once we master this?
The whole Universe we live in rests on rules. Still.
If I drop something, it falls to the ground. Unless I fly to the moon. It is good to honour those rules.
"...Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless..."
from 2. Peter 3

Goodness and Badness
Every human being in the world is born through the same process, but every person's abilities and qualities are different. The seeds of both goodness and badness are present in every human being. The seed which gets a favorable environment will germinate, and if it gets your support, it will one day take the form of a big tree.
Well, there are no bad things in us, whatever is there, that all are useful. As long as things are under our control, that are all good and useful, when that are out of control and dominate us, it become bad and harmful.
