"Connection is not just about making time for family and friends. It's about a sense of caring for other people. It's about connecting with the human spirit, even when there is no national crisis."
Written in 2009 by Steven Wingell --- India
The other day I was walking down the street when a woman ahead of me tripped and fell on the sidewalk. Two people walked by her as if she weren't there. Others just stared without offering help; I stopped to help, as did another person. We both waited for an ambulance to arrive and then we left. I couldn't believe what I had just witnessed: a human being was in need of assistance and most people walked on by. If we give lip service to love, how can we not be kind to the individuals we meet along our journey, regardless of their race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation? What happened to the connection?

"If you go in the wrong direction for long enough, you will CERTAINLY go a LONG WAY! If you feel like you have been going a long way for a very long time, perhaps it's time to try taking another way.

"We say casually to anyone who is in trouble, 'Don't worry be happy', but it is only easy to say! In fact, it is very difficult to do. To destroy worrying, we have to analyze the root cause of its origin. Experience says that if we cannot find any solution to our problem, it creates a negative thought in our mind. This thought, which repeats regularly, results in tension/worry/depression. To clear out this negative thought we have to try to fill up our minds with positive thought/s (e.g.: remembering happy events of our life, faith in GOD, helping needy people, etc.) thus neutralizing the negative thought. And the moment we succeed, worrying will vanish automatically. Let us try!"
