IN THIS 21ST CENTURY

In this 21st Century, like our wireless phones that connects us anytime at the physical level,
We must realize that we are souls and must be ceaselessly connected to one another with love at the soul levels.

In this 21st Century, we have learned the art of cooking fireless,

We must realize that greater fire burns within us seeking to bind all God’s creations with love.

In this 21st Century, we have come to understand what food our body does not need,

So, we must understand that just as some foods are not good for our body so also eating certain foods destroys our planet – Earth.

In this 21st Century, our dresses are increasingly sleeveless maybe due to excessive heat or lost of moral dress sense,

Let us not forget to wear long sleeves when it is necessary.

In this 21st Century, the youths are jobless and society is increasingly individualized and selfish,

We must take collective steps to engage the youths in creative endeavours.

In this 21st Century, leaders have become shameless and not mindful of the consequences of their actions,

We must not inhibit proper way of conduct whether in private or in public.

In this 21st Century, relations have become meaningless,

We must continue to accommodate, increase our tolerance and make meaning out of all situations.

In this 21st Century, our attitude is increasingly careless,

We must increase gratitude to one another and most importantly, to the Almighty.

In this 21st Century, our feelings are heartless,

We must realize that what we feel in thoughts will manifest in words and deeds so, better thoughts springs forth good feelings and we become more caring.

In this 21st Century, the education we acquire has become valueless,

We must realize that education have to go well with our human essence and not on mere materialism.

In this 21st Century, our hopes are endless and ever increasing,

We must not cease to hope on good future because that is the way of life.

This note, “In this 21st Century,” was inspired by Angel Kiran’s wall post on Facebook:
