Next war: War For Water

'So far we have seen war for colonies, for land, for nation/country and recent decades; war against terrorism, war for oil, technology and resources that is so dear for a business entity, an economy as well as a country or an entire region to continue to compete for and have the mantle of primacy. Similarly, the idea of war for water i.e. drinkable water is not irrefutable. Cities continue to  proliferate from towns and towns from villages and villages from hamlets. And the minimum of 3.7 liters of water necessary for an adult so as to stay healthy is being divided among  his family, friends and community that he lives in as the population that was stable once has been doubling and even tripling from some decades after WWII. If this situation continues to be, the individual, family and community will begin to hoard the water resources, which has already started in cities around the world and one particular one that i know so well is  Kathmandu . It is a valley where water shortage

Perceiving people

If we do give a pause and think how people can be different I can give you one that I scrambleed so far. People can be perceived as of two types: One to the point rational like Seldon cooper in ' big-bang-theory ' and yet he is somewhat emotional in his own way when it comes to his nerdy science. Another kind of people who are emotional and cannot hide it are like Mr. Bean who cannot stop showing to the world what he feels which is highly amusing. People are not in general either emotional or rational, the thing is one of these characteristics are seen to be dominant from person to person and situation to situation that a person faces individually or in groups. For e.g when someone near to us dies we cannot help but think the most negative conversation or remarks that we have said to each other and most of us eventually blame ourselves for his/her death. And in similar situation, a rational person is perceived by others as insensitive and uncaring like the to the detail chara

Learning from pain

(PC:  https://www.artmajeur.com/en/wojtekbabski/artworks/8673676/pain ) Pain is a great teacher. It teaches that anything extreme is not good, for both our mind as well as our body. If I take the example of intense training after a long gap, then it is obvious that after some hours or a day after, we feel the muscle starting to feel sore as well as painful. Likewise, in exams when we try to cram our brain with information a day or two before, the brain goes into overload and we cannot remember all the facts though how much we try hard. It is so in my experience and I do think we can learn greatly about our own limitations from pain and slowly go beyond them by exposing ourselves to pain little at a time. Pain is not kind like almost everything in the life that we experience. With this I conclude with the thought "without pain there's no gain"
