Eyes don't see, Ears don't listen

Image
In the vast expanse of our existence, there is a profound mystery that lies within us. It is a realm untouched by the limitations of our physical senses. We are often caught in the illusion that it is our eyes that see, our ears that listen, and our hands that touch. But what if I told you that there is a deeper, more profound observer within us, an entity that transcends the mere physicality of our senses? The eyes, in all their complexity, are but instruments. They capture light and transmit signals to the brain, where the real act of 'seeing' takes place. The ears, similarly, are channels for sound to enter our consciousness, but it is our minds that truly 'listen.' And as for touch, it's not just the fingertips; it's the entire being that perceives the sensation. Consider the paradox of a blind person with perfectly functional eyes or a deaf person with fully intact ears. They have the physical tools for perception, yet something crucial is missi...

Don't give respect to women

Image
International Daughters Day International Daughters Day In a world that is striving for progress and inclusivity, the call for equality among genders is more relevant than ever. While respect is undoubtedly important, it is crucial to recognize that women don't just need respect; they deserve equality. This blog delves into the significance of granting women equal rights, opportunities, and recognition. Understanding the Difference: Respect and equality are distinct concepts. Respect implies admiration, politeness, and recognition of an individual's worth. While these are essential, they are not sufficient to address the systemic imbalances that women have historically faced. Equality, on the other hand, demands that women be treated as equals in every aspect of life, from education and employment to social and political spheres. Challenging Gender Stereotypes: Equality requi...
