Business!Business! Every thing is a business!

I went to my first Advance level accounts and economics class and the first thing I learned from them was that ever thing in this world is about profits and loses or simple every thing in this world is based on business or economics. Every single decision that we take is taken after thinking about the profits and losses that we will have after taking that decision. So if say economics or rather business is the basement or the foundation of our lives its correct to a greater extent. No!no! not to a greater extent its totally true!

But why didn’t I realize this fact before going to any of these classes if this was a truth and global philosophy. Why? I think it is because even every thing is based on business and economics people have given different names to it. Some say social service, some say it is the culture and some say it is collective social responsibility. How ever every profession in this world is based on business and economic because this is not an utopia. All this has happen because

“MAN WORKS FOR HIM SELF, BUT MAN WHO WORKS FOR HIM SELF WORKS TO THE WHOLE SOCIETY”

Now let me justify my stance:

People who say we are doing a service…..(Doctors, Nurses, and all social workers)

True these people are doing a service but then again think for a minute they are doing this to sever them selves. Why does a doctor go to rural area and start a dispensary not because he want to serve that area it’s because he will be recognized in that area and he will be able to earn mental satisfaction and economical satisfaction. It is common to every one who is telling that they are doing a service.

Everything in this world is based on business because people always want to be a better than some one else. They always want to make their lives better and better and at a point this better thing become worse for others around him.

If some one ask what is the biggest thing on this earth I will tell it is our mind. A persons mind can do tremendous thing. Things that no one can imagine. And there is no limit to this mind and thats why it is said man’s wants are limit less. So let us not try to put a limit to this limitless thing but what we should try is to make this limitless mind work to the betterment of our selves while working for the betterment of the others.

How hard it is to say “Bye”!!

Life is all about meeting people and saying bye to them. Life is all about making friends and loosing friends. Life is all about meeting and departing. This is the simple truth that we don’t want to accept. It is not that we don’t want to accept it but it’s really hard to accept this harsh truth.

It was a recent incident which made me think in this way. We had a UK education fair last weekend through the British council and I was lucky to be in the team of organizing that. I met plenty of new friends, very nice friends during the two days that we had that fair. those two days were two of the best days that i have ever had in my life. But what I figured out during these days were that when we like something we don’t feel time passing and we feel like time is running very fast. But the truth is that because I loved every moment I spent there I didn’t feel time passing.

I was damn pissed at the end of the second day because I had to say “bye” to many of the people I loved being with. It is very hard to say bye to people we love. But however we have to say good bye to everything in this life at some point too… I was saying bye to the same person over and over again because I could not leave the place. I wanted to stay at least another second with them because I enjoyed every moment.

What I understood from this is that saying “bye” to people and things we love is the most hardest thing in our lives.

I sometimes feel why our friends and and the people whom we love can’t stay together with us. But then again if we met every day. If we get to talk every day then we won’t think about them that much and we will not value the realationship that we have!!So some times its better to say bye and say we will meet soon again. Hehehe!! How ever it is damn sad and difficult to say bye to people whom we love so much. Let me pray that the “byes” i say will not be for ever.

Shopping is Hectic!!

Oh god!! Shopping… The most hectic thing in this world. Going from one shop to another then from that to another at last coming home without anything at all. Hehehe… Is it funny!!1 No not at all funny. It is damn hectic!!

I some times think why don’t we get all the shops to one place mainly textile shops because its very tiring to go one place to another which is another 4 or 5 kilometers away. I some times hate my self and the whole society for not being able to walk naked on the roads(I know its not possible but…).

If i like a trouser it doesn’t has the size which suits me. If i get my size it is not the color i want. it seems shopping is like that. When we go shopping the only thing that make guys like it is just because we come across lot of (cute, beautiful and sexy) girls(Hehehe).

How ever shopping is the most hectic thing as well as the hardest thing. It is very difficult to find out whats genuine and whats fake. When i say this i feel like talking about this with relevant to our lives. This world is full of fake stuff. There is only a little genuine things.This is the same even we think about humans. There are both fake and genuine human beings. What i mean by this is that there are people who show one face to the world and it is not the real. how ever there are people who show the original look(internal) of them selves to the world.

genuine.jpg

This remind me a part of a song of John Lennon and Poul McCartney:

Eleanor rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

There are lot of reason for people to show fake faces of them selves to the society.

  1. They are cornered and not recognized in the society.
  2. Some people are having other intentions to fulfill that what they show to world
  3. Some people are having dark secrets which they cant tell to the world
  4. Some are lying to whole world just to be some one who is recognized in the society.

Some of the reasons are justifiable and some are not. So its our duty to be genuine to the society and see why others are not be genuine and treat them according to the reason.

How ever going back to the hectic topic “shopping” there also we have to think about whats genuine and whats not. We have to reject the fake and accept the genuine.

So let us make shopping an interesting thing( which is hard for me than going to the sun).

My wish for all you who are reading is that the next day you go shopping let u find the trouser or the skirt of the shirt that your looking for be genuine and easy to find.

One Mans’ terrorist is Another Mans’ freedom fighter!!

This is one of the topics that I have debated on when I started debating for the first time for my school team. I was given the challenge of being the opposition. Why I say it was a challenge is because every one has been thinking that this statement is correct. But I personally believed that this statement was wrong there for I took the challenge happily with the intention of proving the world that one mans terrorist is never another mans freedom fighter.

I think people have been believing on this statement because there has been no definition given to these words “terrorists and Freedom fighters” in any dictionary.

So let us see who is a terrorist first!!

Terrorists are selfish power hungry people. They say that they represent a community, a race, a discriminated group of people but those words are used to prove that they are doing this for some reason which can be justified. Terrorists are people who go from one place to the other killing innocent civilians who are not even armed. Terrorists are ones who want to dictate this world. They are extremists!!

Now let us see who is a freedom fighter!!

Freedom fighter is a person who represents a community, a person who stand against the injustice against the relevant authorities. Freedom fighters are ones who sacrifice themselves to save the lives of thousands. They are never selfish.

So let me justify my case!!

  • Terrorists kill unarmed innocent civilians in large number but Freedom fighters fight against the relevant authorities who violated their rights.

In the present world we see lot of terrorist groups. They kill lot of people around the world for no reason. I would like to bright about the example of 9-11 attacks. Hundreds of people died just because Osama Bin Landan was not ready to accept the rule of American government. Hundred of Sons were lost to their mothers and fathers, Hundreds of Fathers and mothers were lost to their children. Isn’t this injustice? If Osama Binladen is a Freedom fighter why does he violate the rights of thousands of other people? Osama Binladan is just a power hungry inhuman creature.

9-11.jpg

Freedom fighters never massacre innocent unarmed people. Anything they do is just to the authorities who are responsible. In my own country last month the terrorists blasted off two buses and if this is called a action of a freedom fighters its a grave error we make in our lives.

  • Terrorists are never willing to negotiate or compromise but freedom fighters are!!

What we have experienced is that the terrorists have a firm request and they never want to compromise on these. But the difference in freedom fighters is that they are willing to compromise and are willing to accept a reasonable answer.

  • Freedom fighters protect the resources and heritages of a country but Terrorists never care about them.

Freedom fighters are people who love their country and who will do anything to keep their country safe. But terrorists are never like that. We see the terrorists groups in Sudan going on destroying all the resources in the country and we have heard about many occasions where terrorist groups have destroyed many of the world as well as national heritages of countries. One simple example is the destroying of Barmyan Buddha Statues.

  • Child Conscription is never done in Freedom fighting but is done in terrorism.

Children are said to be sacred by the society, the protection given to them is unlimited and the care is tremendous. Freedom fighter is some one who protects all that, a person who provide protection to children all the time they never conscript children for their activities but a common thing that we see in terrorists is that they conscript children to their forces and for the acts done to gain power.

So are these just causes. If we call terrorists freedom fights it is a great insult we make on ” Mahathma Ghandi”, “Nelson Mandela”, “Martin Luther King Jr.” and “Sir Ponnambalam Ramanadan”.

So let me salute the Freedom fighter of My great country Sri Lanka while condemning the acts of terrorism.

One Mans’ terrorist is NEVER Another Mans’ freedom fighter!!

Why I love you!!

Should there be a reason for any one to love another person?? I don’t think so. But i also believe that there should be one reason and that reason should be common to all of us. That is – “Because I love you”. Love is sacred. Love is holy and love is interesting(Is it??hehehe)

For many now a days love is not that interesting because they have many reasons for why they love their lovers. Some say because he or she is sexy and thats the reason why they love them , some says their lovers are smart and thats why they love them. But why I love my lover is just “because i lover her”.

Some people might say thats a frank answer, an answer to just run away from the question but what i believe is that if we cannot define what love is we better not tell why we love. But what I am sure is that i don’t love a person for their looks, for their smartness and other external factor( I do look in to them to a extent!! hehehe) i love a person for their internal nature, their kindness, caring behaviors and their understanding ability.

I am a person who believe in love at first sight but i also believe that love is just a short term one but IF you want it to be long term(big if for you who is thinking weather to continue or not) just make sure you understand the other, make sure you love for her qualities than her looks. I am not telling you to love the ugliest women or man on earth but what I want to reveal is that even the ugliest can have the most beautifully heart.

So why do I love you?? I love you because i don’t have anyone else to love(hehehe). Actually thats not the reason its because I don’t want to love any one else other than you.

I love you so much!!(WHO?? you don’t want to know)

How people feel when they spend a hectic day!!!

So what do you think that some one might do after spending a damn hectic day!! Some one might  drink a lot of and go home drunk or another might shout at every one around and another might stay calm and go to sleep as soon as possible. These are some of the options that a person who spent a hectic day has. How ever a person who spend such a day won’t act normal. When we are tired, when are mind is tired after hell a lot of work and when our body is aching we call it a very tiring and a hectic day but what exactly happen is when we do some thing without any interest and without any happiness we tend to hate that thing we are doing which ultimately make our body feel aching and feel tried.

Why I thought of writing this post is because even i had a very hectic day yesterday. But thing tiring day made me realize some thing which is why we feel like tiring even we didn’t engage in hard work. I was in a A/C room through out the day, I traveled in a privet vehicle, I didn’t do any hard work like lifting heavy loads and other hard work which practically make people feel tired.

So because all these reason i was tend to think why yesterday was a tiring day for me. Then i realized I didn’t do anything with happiness yesterday other than my morning session and I knew that was the reason which forced my mind to think that it was a tiring day.

So what we should take to our mind from this is that any thing we do we should do with happiness and great care.

Now let me take you to another aspect i wanted to discuss through this post it is the diverse minds of this man kind. We all think in different ways if we debate upon a similar issue. If we take the previous issue if some one else spend the day just like me there is a possibility for him to like that. So the interest that we have differ from one person to another.

There for we should understand we live in a world where diverse people exist and we have to alter our selves according to thems in some cases because if not great problems can arise if we do not understand others and live.

This concept is the most important to stop wars and all types of crimes that happen in world so let us try to cooperate and love every one and love what we do.

Diversity!!

Religion and Race!!

race-and.jpg

This is not written to criticize any of the religions in this world because I understand the importance of each and ever religion in this world. It is precious to people who believe in it. Criticizing it will be criticizing my own thinking power. We all do things, we engage in different issues because we can justify what we are doing or telling. So believing a religion is same as that. We believe in what we think as true. We do not go behind anything blindly.

What i think is this RACE and RELIGION should never be a criteria by which we take decisions and judge people on because these are never qualifications of a person but more of a birth right.

Each and ever religion plays its role when people are in fear. That is the place where a persons religion matters to him a lot. When the person whom you get to defend is powerful than you, you remind your religion and you seek the help from it because it is the only thing which can help you spiritually!!

If you see Arnold Schwarzenegger in front of you with the gun he had in Terminator 3 I am sure that you will be scared to death and will urinate there and start shivering while yelling “OH GOD!! SAVE ME!!”.

When we are in fear we think about our region and expect salvation but what we don’t understand is that if we live according to what our religions states we won’t get a chance to think about our religions while urinating(Hehehe).

You might think as the religions are different, living according to what will bring you prosperity. My friends there is nothing like that each and every religion can be written like

X = Y = Z = Q(if u apply this in math you will fail!! So don’t)

What every religion tells about is loving every body, protecting each others rights and living a life free of crimes. Isn’t it so? Is there any religion or philosophy which says to kill people, which says to violate other people’s rights and which says to continue committing crimes? I am sure the answer is NO. IF so, if u stand by those religions that bring good to your life I am sure that u won’t have to urinate in front of Arnold Schwarzenegger or any one else.

So let us determine that we will never discriminate any one on their race and that we will never criticize another religion but will be a messenger of the concepts of our religions which are love and peace.

Hey I am acting a MAIN ROLE in a drama!!

I started acting in Shakespearian dramas in 2006. Actually thats for a completion held in Sri Lanka. But sadly since the day I started I have never got a main role to play until I realized that i have got a main role in drama long time back. Even its not Shakespearian its a drama. So now I am satisfied with who I am(not because I am playing a main role but because I realized that I am playing one)!!!

life

Yes even I was telling that I got a main role I could tell you what it is. (you are curious, aren’t you??) So lets guess. Its a well known drama. A drama that You all might get a chance to act well in if u guess this(hehehe). I am sure you all are thinking about all the dramas in the world now. Then let me tell u!! Have you all heard about a drama called “LIFE”. Now I am sure that you all know what I am going to tell about.

The drama that we all start playing as soon as we see this world. The drama that we all get the main character to play in each others perspective. So let me tell you how interesting is my role in this drama(Its boring for you! So don’t read the rest).

Ah wait wait, forgot to tell some thing. That is – in this drama you(or rather we) are not just the main role/s. We are the executive producers, the directors and all that.

So think people think!! We all are producers, actors, directors.

Then let me tell you people how interesting is my role in this drama. Actually Its pretty difficult to tell how interesting it is because I am still in the age of learning what this drama is like. I think I passed the auditions but still there is a lot more for me to learn about this complicated thing. But what thing I wanted to tell is this is the hardest drama that you will ever find on earth. If you can act this well your the geniuse.

Another thing which very important is that do we play the real us in this play. What we always try to do is we try to pretend like someone else. It might no be another person but fro sure its not real you( Hey sorry man this you who is reading this). What we always do is we run behind perfection. Whats that?? Exactly that is the question. Does any one of us know what is perfection. This “LIFE” is a play where we can make mistakes. It is not about a Utopia. It is the most practical drama which you will experience. There for we should never try to run behind perfection because it is something we get with experience. So what we got to do is to play our role with responsibility. Make mistakes but learn from them.

This Drama is a comedy some times, its romantic(not when mom find out about who she is), and its tragedy too. So isn’t it interesting to know that your playing a main role in the best play in the world.

So my dear friends live life to the max. Be your self!!! Never forget who you are because your a hero!!(Are you???)

Love and Passion!!

Love and Passion!!

Today as my second post i thought of writing something which i thought i should write to this last night. It is about love and passion which i see as the driving force of all our lives.

If any one ask to whom did you love first you will say that its to your mother and your father. Thats what we hear from each and every one of us. But I think we forgot someone. The one who help you all the time. Its your self!! I remember my mother saying that I used to cry a lot in my small days (I’m sure you all also cried!!hehe). When i was hungry i used to cry, when i was sleepy I used to cry. Is that because I love my mother. I don’t think so. Its all because I loved my self more than anything.

So don’t you think that this word is just another synonym for selfishness. Yes!! It is not. Love has a deeper meaning than that. But what I tried to tell here or what i tried from this post was to change the answer for the question i asked before!!

“To whom do you Love most???”
