Sometimes in anger and hatered I have thought / dreamt of evils acts against my civilizational enemies, but then i pray that ohh god never in any life I ever become so cruel to even think of something like this.
The Germans who witnessed the atrocities committed by Muslims against Christians during the Ottoman period in Greece wrote: "The murder of the men and the drowning of the women was still not enough for a Muslim Turk thirsting for Christian blood; the poor innocent children were also to be sacrificed. So he had the defenseless little ones seized and mercilessly hanged from a tree. Comfortably the monster smoked his pipe beneath them, had himself served with sherbet, and rejoiced in the cries of fear and the death agonies of the guiltless little ones, for they were, after all, only — Christian children"
"Gräuelscenen aus Griechenland"
"Atrocity scenes from Greece."
From the 1820s by the Nuremberg publisher Friedrich Campe.
When a civilization grows, it not only excels economically but culturally too and so it does in all fields.
Western civilization had renaissance period, India saw great thousand years of vedic civilization, China did in ancient times.
but now it is China's time again, west needs to get ready
We all want to change the world, make our country/community stronger, take on corrupt people and systems, punish the bad guys etc etc.
But this urge is like an ideal or super hero goal, so lot of people spend their lives hoping and arguing that people in power become like that or chastise who are not.
Thus end up wasting all time and energy talking about people and events.
I think if this is the urge and goal then it may take lifetimes and many rebirths to achieve all that and not discussions on chat boards or watching news all day.
What one should work upon is bring about a change in your own life, raise your kids properly, help someone in need, be in a positon to help a relative or friend in need.
Do actual small things which have an actual impact than just words and arguments on social media platforms. which is just noise and ends up as noise.

at some point you have to realize the world's affairs and its stupidity will continue exactly as they are. You can't really change anyone, and you can't fix anything.
Correct one idiot and 10 more will be born. Correct one thing, and 10 more problems will arise.
You have no job doing that. It's an illusion that traps you and destroys your life into nonsense.
Your job is to save yourself, elevate yourself, transcend yourself, do your part silently, and leave.
Ignore the stupidity.
They will remain exactly like this.
Fools and problems have existed since time immemorial, and they'll be here long after you're gone.
Stop trying to reform the world.
Transcend yourself and go.
The concept of thousand hand Buddha came from India.
Indians keep on crying about cultural appropriation but i havent seen even one performance of any kind from Indian dancers that comes close to the Thousand Hand Gyuan-yin Chinese Dance.
Indians have lost all art and desire to do something even close.
Not only parents, which is less common but school friends and classmates. Nobody likes who tries to perform better in a presentation, projects, activities. Kids then learn to not stand out and just be average to avoid that negative attention.
Parental envy of their own children is real—and it can shape entire lives.
Alain de Botton explains a painful family dynamic: Some kids learn early to dim their light (fail academically, stay small, avoid success) because a parent's envy can't handle their child outshining them.
Children arrive asking: "What do I need to do to survive here—psychologically?"
In some homes, that answer is: Be less than your parent.
Be witty to lift mom's depression.
Be invisible to avoid dad's insecurity.
Or even fail so the parent doesn't feel threatened by your happiness or talent.
It's not always conscious cruelty—envy is awkward, unspoken, human—but the child pays the price, internalizing "I'm bad at this" when the real issue is someone upstairs would be frightened if they were good at it.
Families are complex places. Survival strategies often last a lifetime.
Did you ever sense you had to hold back, play small, or perform a certain role to keep the peace or get love?
How did it affect you growing up?

“You need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much... We get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives.”
―Haruki Murakami
Someone said Japanese should have bigger families, not till corporate slavery exists in Japan. It is doomed, the whole civilization ruined by insane corporate culture. Western corporates with all flaws are thousand times better than Asian employers
Lot of hindoos dont even know the concept of Karma was way different in vedic times. It was never that bad things happen to bad guys or good happens to good guys
Only if people can get over rejection. Take risks. Take on more tasks than possible. Just doing more and risking more.
Irony of this is you should just kill your ego & text them
World is full of lonely people all waiting on each other to make the first move
Take control of your life. If you want to be with someone, text them.
You can live with getting ghosted. But those what ifs from never trying once more…you take that shit to the grave
As if Lord Krishna himself was telling how to be in this Kali Yuga
In Better Call Saul, Jimmy’s speech to Kristy Esposito.
“You didn’t get it [the scholarship]. You were never gonna get it. They dangle these things in front of you. They tell you you got a chance, but I’m sorry, it’s a lie, because they had already made up their mind and they knew what they were gonna do before you walked in the door. You made a mistake [shoplifting], and they are never forgetting it. As far as they’re concerned, your mistake is just… It’s who you are, and it’s all you are. And I’m not just talking about the scholarship here. I’m talking about *everything*. I mean, they’ll smile at you, they’ll pat you on the head, but they are *never, ever* letting you in. But listen. Listen. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t because you don’t need them. They’re not gonna give it to you? So what? You’re gonna take it. You’re gonna do whatever it takes. Do you hear me? You are not gonna play by the rules. You’re gonna go your own way. You’re gonna do what they won’t do. You’re gonna be smart. You are gonna cut corners, and you are gonna win. They’re on the 35th floor? You’re gonna be on the 50th floor. You’re gonna be looking down on them. And the higher you rise, the more they’re gonna hate you. Good. Good. You rub their noses in it. You make them suffer. You don’t matter all that much to them. So what? So what? Screw them. Remember, the winner takes it all.”
