Better to be hated than ignored...

'Better to be hated than ignored' was a title on North Korea's nuclear arsenal. This title made me reflect on some of our relations.

In order to hate some one, one needs to love him/her first. Love could also imply knowledge. Ignoring some one amounts to state that i don't care whether you live or not! It is as if that person doesn't exist at all. It is a kind of removing some one from our life, annihilate from our considerations, if not thoughts.

Some people whom we ignore, consider it convenient to carry on with their agendas, especially the ones with power.

Children at the crossfire of marriage...

Though 'marriages are said to have been made in heaven' , many of them break down even before the take off! stage! People seem to be intolerant and not accomodating these days. This may be due to the nuclear family/ scooter family/ one child family and so on. There is no give and take in such families. Being the only child, whatever they ask for is given and they also develop adamency. All these together bring forth an unaccomodative husband/wife. Somehow, before that they might have given birth to a new life which is  being tossed in the storms of life. Parents don't usually care for the child. When two elephants quarrel or fight, the sufferer is usually the grass underneath. In the same way, it is the child/children who bear the brunt of family oddities as they are the most vulnerable. Somehow, we seem to ignore that they are going to be the torchbearers of tomorrow.

Let us be more considerate and compassionate for the children to pave way for a better future for all of us on this planet of life. "Kozhi oru koottile, seval oru koottile; kozhikknuju randum ippo anpillaatha kaattile!" "Kuzhanthaiyum deivamum gunatthaal ontru/ kuttrankalai maranthuvidum manatthaal ontru/ nadanthathellaam ninaippathuthaan thuyaram entru/ jnaanikalum methaikalum sonnaar antru.// Ucchiveyil sooriyanai megam mooduthu/ nam ullam enum sooriyanai kopam mooduthu/ kaatru vanthaal marupadiyum megam maaruthu/ pesi kalanthuvittaal kopam maari nesam aavuthu"

Let us bring them up as children of God, that is what they are. "Entha kuzhanthaiyum nalla kuzhanthai thaan mannil pirakkaiyile/ avar nallavaraavathum theeyavaraavathum annai valarkkaiyile."
