Let the Summer Burn More Than Just the Earth (The Human Vices)

“I wish the vices of humans also burned with the summer heat.”

Every year, summer arrives with its strong and blazing heat. The sun shines brightly in the sky, the ground becomes dry and cracked, and everything around us feels tired and thirsty. We often complain about the heat, but what if it could do something more than just warm the Earth?

What if the sun could also burn away the bad things inside us, the anger, the lies, the selfishness, and the jealousy? Just like it dries up puddles of water and wilts the weeds, maybe it could also melt away hatred, cruelty, and all the things that make the world a colder place, despite the heat.

It’s a comforting thought, the idea that the summer sun could clean not only the streets and skies, but also the hearts of people. Imagine a world where people are more patient, more honest, and more caring. A world where kindness blooms like summer flowers, and our bad habits melt away like ice left out in the sun.

Of course, the sun can’t actually burn away our flaws. But its strong presence can remind us that change is always possible. Just like trees grow new leaves and flowers bloom again in the summer, we, too, can grow into better versions of ourselves.

Let this summer not just be a season of heat, but a season of reflection. A time to look within and try to leave behind what no longer serves us anger, pride, hate, and fear. Let us grow in warmth, in love, and in light.

Even though the summer heat can’t really burn away our vices, it can remind us to try. Just as nature changes in the summer, we can also try to change ourselves. Let this season be a time to grow, not just in age, but in kindness and goodness, too.

Happiness is Like a Guest - A Simple Thought Inspired by Rabindranath Tagore’s Athithi

Happiness is like a guest. It comes into our lives for a little while, makes us smile, and then quietly leaves. We cannot keep it forever, just like we cannot hold on to a guest who must go. Rabindranath Tagore’s short story Athithi (which means "The Guest") shows us this idea in a beautiful way. In the story, a young boy named Tarapada comes to a kind family. They treat him with love, and for a while, everyone is happy. But one day, without telling anyone, Tarapada leaves. He loved being with them, but he could not stay in one place. He wanted to be free. Tarapada is like happiness. He came, brought joy, and left. The story helps us understand that we should enjoy happy moments while they are with us. But when they pass, we should not be sad. Just like a good guest, happiness will come again one day. This teaches us to be thankful for the joy we have, even if it doesn’t last forever.

Be Like a Seed; When Someone Tries to Compress You, You Make Your Way Out

Life is not always smooth. Many times, people or situations try to hold us back. They try to control us, limit us, or press us down with negativity, criticism, or challenges. But in those moments, we must remember to be like a seed. A seed is very small and weak in appearance. It gets buried deep under the soil. The soil covers it, presses it from all sides, and keeps it in darkness. But the seed doesn’t give up. Instead, it gathers all its strength, grows roots, and pushes upward. It breaks through the soil and comes out into the sunlight. This is the power of patience, strength, and growth. In life, too, when people try to suppress you with words, actions, or by creating difficulties, don’t give up. Build your strength silently, stay positive, and keep moving forward. Remember, pressure can’t stop a seed from growing. And pressure shouldn’t stop you, either. Be like a seed, and when someone tries to compress you, rise above, break through, and create your own path towards succe...

The Few Who Understand

Every day, we meet hundreds of people who wish us hello, hi, and bye. However, there are only a few people who can understand us in our lows and highs. In the noise of the crowd, we often feel lost, drifting through faces, but paying the cost. We share fleeting moments, brief as a sigh, yet crave that connection that reaches the sky. Some offer a smile, while others just stare, but only a few truly show that they care. They listen intently, with hearts open wide, inviting us in, letting feelings collide. Through laughter and sorrow, they walk by our side, their presence a comfort, our fears set aside. So let us treasure those who see through the haze, for they are the light that brightens our days.
