Ancestral Antiques

Old is gold, they say. You may have heard your grandmother say, ” There is ‘charm’ in the old me” or your grandfather exclaim, “Gone were those good old days!!”. There are two factors that influence this theory. Psychologically, senior citizens are well attached to their past habits and surroundings that having to change to a new one breaks their hearts. Socially, they are not able to catch up with the modern age, the new talks and the ever-growing science and technology. Even when we grow old, we too shall be the same and talk the same.

When your parents show you an old watch that belonged to their great – grandparents you might have just chuckled. But they have been told the worth of it and wish to treasure it as a family treasure. At national and international levels also, authorities auction old coins, jewellery , clothing and even shoes.

To err is human, to forgive divine

Today if we look all around, we see violence and hatred. There is no love. Love is never given the chance to rise. Today’s love is for money, power, fame. Nothing is real, nothing is true. People who have been wronged seek for vengeance. Revenge is the ultimate consequence of hatred. Yet, no one seems to be bothered. We are all human.

Everyone makes mistakes. Even the highest supreme authority to the lowest beggar fails in the road to excellence. Disasters do happen but they can be corrected with the right ingredients.If my coffee is bitter, I can add sugar to sweeten it, but if I add salt I am only sealing it. Sugar is the best example of forgiveness and salt is as comparable to revenge. We must try to be the sugar of someone’s life. Your life is salty, mine too is salty. But we can use prayer to evaporate ourselves to a new individual, an individual destined to add sugar in his neighbour’s life.
Forgiveness is the essence of true life. A true martyr forgives his wrong-doers. Many people visualise forgiveness as only meant for weaklings. But no, forgiveness is only practised by the spiritually strong and mentally brave. All religions teach us about forgiveness. Alas! It is easily spoken than done. No one ever masters forgiveness. It’s an art that masters itself over time.
Forgiveness and mercy are interlocked together. In the Shakespearean Merchant of Venice, Portia depicts mercy as twice blessed. Blessed is the forgiver and the forgiven. Mercy descends from forgiveness and makes peace. We need peace today. Violence and hatred mustn’t get the better side of us. They must be vanquished from our midst. Forgiveness delivers that inner -peace that we long inside. The best router to love, hope and faith is forgiveness. So let’s activate our schemes of total forgiveness and we shall enjoys the long-term benefits of joy,hope,love, faith and peace.

Humans we are, but know not;
That forgiveness itself does cast the lot,
The inner language of the heart,
It must be shown till death do you part.
