My comments on the poem \"The Indian soldiers”
In the poem “The soldier” by Rupert Brooke (1887-1915), he says :
“If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England’s, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home….”

Indians abroad :
“32 million NRIs
“According to a Ministry of External Affairs report, there are 32 million NRIs and PIOs (including OCIs) residing outside India; and overseas Indians comprise the world\'s largest overseas diaspora. Every year 2.5 million (25 lakhs) Indians migrate overseas, which is the highest annual number of migrants in the world.”

Debt of the West towards India :
“(…) India, it has been said, suffers today, in the estimation of the world, more through the world\'s ignorance of her achievements than the absence or insignificance of those achievements. The work of three generations of scholars has done much to dispel the clouds of prejudice which prevent the West from appreciating the true greatness of Indian culture, but much remains to be done. Even the greatest of Indian rulers are still scarcely known by name to the general reader, and Indian art and architecture are regarded as grotesque and unfamiliar. More and more, however, we are beginning to realize the innumerable contacts, throughout the course of history, between East and West, and their mutual indebtedness in language, literature, art, and philosophy. As time goes on, it will be increasingly realized that a knowledge of the history and culture of India is essential to the foundation of a proper understanding of the origin and growth of Western civilisation. The intellectual debt of Europe to Sanskrit literature, already great, may well become greater in the course of years. (P : 36, 37) -- H. G. RAWLINSON. (…)”

Many achievements of Indian civilization remain unparalleled. Where an Indian dies abroad forever remains a corner of India…

The childhood
Nature said:
Each life contains sad days, joyful days, lost days and depressed days. Time never stops and cannot be stopped where with time always moves on and we also, someday have to move on.

\'I never ought to be lonely,
but time had to bring that slowly.\'
indeed, eventually it comes down to us
and those memories that keep us warm
in those cold winter\'s of life..
(such a relatable theme
wonderfully written, thanks for sharing)

The road not taken
orchidee said:
You took that road now?!
We don\'t know where we may end up - on a level path, or in a ditch, on a path not travelled before.
I see the other meaning too - which path in life to take?

The persistent will

Never give up. At the same time look to your expectations and be sure that they are within your grasp. Be kind to yourself and nothing else matters.

The Blossoms
Peter Pan - The Rock said:
I agree Nature is good.
Man however...
Seems to pollute, destroy and ravish Nature and all true beauty.
Still Nature... created Man... and all
creatures, trees, plants, flowers, vegetables.
Like in all things in Nature...
Usually there is duality... and two more or less opposite forces.
For a few examples... day, night, good, evil, positive, negate, matter and anti-matter.
The old religions, ancient people...
some...
Worshiped and revered nature.
However... some new modern religions...
Christianity for example...
Worships GOD... inside Human made constructions, buildings, stone walls, clausters... churches.
And forgive me for saying so...
But the Christian cross... is and always was, will be... an instrument of torture, and ultimately... death.
You have however in some places the image of Jesus Christ... not...
crucified and with wide open arms.
I would say... that\'s not so bad.
Anyway... so sorry if I anoy you, somehow.
Please... feel free to report me.
And the ones who can even banish me, from this site... if they trully desire. Oh... Retiring for this night.
Maybe I\'ll watch Monty Python and
the Life of Brian...
A very good, comic and funny... movie.
In such... perilous and dire times...
We should get all the \"fun\" we can get.
And try and see... all the bad, horrible things, with a laugh, and a very good sense of Humor.
Because... my dear... \"friends\".
Some trully horrible, completely false and despicable \"persons\".
Love to be wolves in sheeps clothing.
And always forgive themselves, and always use sin... or Jesus Christ as a perfect excuse for horrible and tremendous cruelty and plain pure... insanity.
Religious-Freedom... is or should be allowed...
All freedom... to a certain level.
And yes some are good, some may be bad...
And others are simply and purely the worst.
Trully nocive, toxic and pure poison.
So very... anoying...
Yes... I am... well aware.
Already was a long time.
Now it\'s way more clear and evident.
If some you... are looking...
For a \"good\" person...
Well... Take a real good long look in the mirror.
Amen to that!
And... Hallellujah!
