New Years’ day Happiness.

My fellow inhabitants of this Planet, Citizens of Rome, Jerusalem, Mecca and Ganges. Accept from the depth of my heart the greetings on this New Year 2016. Just recently, we greeted one big day, with the message of peace on Christmas. We did participate and celebrated Dewali by burning a candle of Light and sharing sweets. It gives me boundless thrill of happiness to mix colors of all sorts and celebrate how beautiful spectrum of colors this life is in Rangoli. There are host of festivities and celebrations Worldwide we welcome life to our selves, to our homes to our societies, Nations and International relationship. I have on my mind two very heavy things to share with you—

If we have to survive on this planet Earth, it is imperative that we share our happiness with others. Happiness is no happiness, if it fails to shine upon others. If you are blessed with more goodly things, share with others with a perfect smile. A charity is not throwing a coin in beggars’ pan. Charity must, must not be confused with sympathy and pity, it is a compassion for the wanting and marginalized people.

Secondly, if we sow life, grow life and cultivate life, how come man is the biggest harbinger of death, misery and hunger!  No animal species destroys its own kind as this human animal does.  Some times, I think, I beg to differ that man is millions of years old on this planet, other wise he would be better enlightened than the animals.

Coming back to point, I called men and women citizens of these religious institutions. For Gods’ sake (to me you look to be religious people) come out of your cocoon and see, none is killing you, but your own people, your men, women and innocents children are blown into bits and pieces.  No matter, what religion you belong to, if your adherence has failed you, some one has blind folded you to lead to the slaughterhouse. Save your race, your people. We do stand now, on a pinnacle of life or death. It is a survival of all mankind, a global survival, no, piecemeal survival. To my mind, it is time to discard our old citizen cards. If happiness is Universal, I do believe death is also Universal, Choice is yours. Which side of coin you belong, head or the end of the tail! Have blessed happy new Year.
