Christmas

 A Religious and Cultural Festival

Christmas has now become not only a religious festival but also a cultural one.

As soon as the Christmas season begins around the world, the joy of the Christian community becomes visible. In the West, Christmas celebrations start as soon as December begins, and these celebrations continue with enthusiasm until the arrival of the New Year.

Christians believe that when a person feels the joy of Christmas within themselves, they feel that the unrest, bad thoughts, hatred, violence, and attitude of considering others inferior and lesser is being removed from within them. However, surprisingly, as soon as Christmas and the New Year are over, a person seems to return to their old ways, and within them, the same unrest, contempt and disrespect for others, oppression and tyranny over the weak, and the attitude of considering themselves superior to others seems to return, with a clear effect of "I" being evident. For this reason, peace-loving Christians have an innocent wish that the Christmas season would last throughout the year and never end.

The meaning of Christmas is happiness, hope, peace, and safety. Christians want to celebrate this festival of joy and peace with people all over the world. Therefore, in the West, you will clearly see examples such as free entry to everyday items, clothing, groceries, and entertainment spots for tourism, and these discounts are not just for Christians but for everyone living in those countries, regardless of their religion, sect, color, race, or gender. We can rightly say that Christmas has gained the status of a cultural festival along with being a religious festival, and it is awaited by everyone every year.

ghe birth of Lord Jesus Christ was in accordance with God's great plan, according to which He wanted to send a savior to the world to deliver humanity from their sins. He would raise the downtrodden and free people from their sins. His kingdom was not of this fleeting world but the kingdom of hpaeaven, which the rulers of that time could not understand, and surprisingly, the descendants of those same rulers still refuse to accept the "Christ." From my limited knowledge of religion, I believe that the second coming of Christ is also a mystery that cannot be understood without the wisdom given by God.

The fact that Christ was born in a poor household symbolized that God greatly loves the poor, and Christ clearly stated that "the poor are the heirs of God's kingdom." But if we look at it from a worldly perspective, every poor person spends their entire life trying to become rich, during which they exploit the weaker ones in some form. You can observe this clearly. Whether you look from the lower level to the upper level or vice versa, you will observe that every powerful individual seems to exploit others, whether on an individual or collective level, or whether it is a country, exploitation is happening in some form with the weak. Every powerful country seems to oppress others. In households, financially stronger siblings will dismiss the weaker one's every word as unimportant. In village councils, the poor person's opinion, no matter how important, will be dismissed. This is completely contrary to the teachings of Christ.

If you observe carefully, you will see that the whole life of "Christ" revolves around hope, peace, and security, in which there is no room for hatred, and He always encouraged forgiveness, an example also followed by the followers of other religions. Mahatma Gandhi also based the philosophy of non-violence on Christ’s teaching of forgiveness, which he openly expressed.

After the birth of Jesus, you will notice clear changes in the world. After the arrival of Christ, the world began to distinguish between Before Christ (BC) and After Christ (AD). The Christian calendar was established. The teaching of Christ to forgive His enemies stunned the world, and even today, Christianity is remembered for this very teaching. The philosophy of non-violence started to be seen from a new perspective in the world. The world was forced to rethink Christ's teaching, which spoke only of good news for the poor.

Christmas asks: In the present age, Christians claim to be the largest group in the world, and they talk about following Christ's example, but do they truly follow it in practice? Although the Holy Bible clearly states in an incident where Christ asked the woman who was about to be stoned for adultery by the Pharisees, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," and surprisingly, no one could throw a stone at her. But in today's world, amidst all the sins, we continue to do the very things Christ forbade. We, trapped in sin, indulging in luxury, try to humiliate, degrade, and mock other weaker humans like ourselves. Even during our worship, it has become common to disprove our own church, scare them, instill the fear of hell, and force them to give "donations" under any circumstances. We constantly say, "I" am right, everyone else is wrong.

These are the common behaviors we observe every day, and yet, we still claim to be Christians, which is completely contrary to Christ’s teachings. Christmas asks: With such behavior, can we truly celebrate the joy of Christmas? Can we follow Christ’s role model without removing "I" from within us?

Let us, to double the joy of Christmas, individually and collectively pledge that the process of change will begin with ourselves. We will include the poor in the joy of Christmas at our level. We will remove "I" from within ourselves, give respect to all people, and we will practically prove the important message of Christ—"forgiveness"—by embracing it within us. Only by doing so can we truly celebrate the great day (Christmas).

intelligence people

There are certain things or signs 
that indicate some level of intelligence

are you intelligent This is a question that can bother everyone for a few seconds because none of us can imagine ourselves as less intelligent or ignorant. Just as we never believe the first sentence, we do not usually believe that anyone else can be sane and intelligent.

This is a long discussion, but still there are certain things or signs that indicate some degree of intelligence. In common sense, we can call the most intelligent people far-sighted because they can not only understand the problems of life better than ordinary people, but can also take better steps to solve them.

Open-Mindedness and Creativity

One of the most important qualities of intelligent people is that they are always bright and open-minded, They are not the beggars of the line and the frogs of the well. Therefore, by no means stick to the traditional ways all the time and do not fall prey to the "status quo".

Crisis Management and Problem-Solving

Such people take quick steps to solve problems, rather it should be said that their brain works better in times of crisis. They examine problems both critically and constructively. Now, since they are visionary, their assessment of the pros and cons of a job is usually accurate. But it should also be noted that such people usually adopt practical ways to solve problems and do not shoot arrows in the air.

Don't value yourself 'Not satisfied Always looking for better and better and better

A very strange thing about these people is that they never rate themselves above average. Because they never consider their intelligence to be extraordinary, many times they are not even aware of their abilities. They think little of their achievements which may be very important and great to other people. The main reason for this is that they are not satisfied with themselves and keep working harder in search of the best. Be curious about anything, not just on one side of the wall

Sense of Humor and Emotional Control

A sense of humor and a sense of subtlety are both qualities that are characteristic of intelligent people. They never take the difficult times on themselves but become the source of happiness for the whole world. They try to make fun of difficult situations. But remember that this is only an attempt. They are also human and are affected by this problem and are ready to deal with it but they have complete control over their emotions.

Multitasking and Skill Development

Self-control in difficult situations is a very difficult task in itself, but intelligent people keep trying to get themselves out of this trouble. Smart people can multi-task, let's take the example of a housewife who is cooking Indian, watching morning show and looking after children at the same time.

 

Interpersonal Skills and Teamwork

Who doesn't want to learn new things and skills but it's not for everyone but it's a left hand game for smart people. They learn many skills and always have a passion for learning new things. Such people have creative abilities, so they do not hesitate to take any new risk and do their own thing.

An Easy Task to build better relations 

It is not an easy task to build better relations with each other while living in a society because for this you have to understand each other, and different people also clash with each other due to differences in their environment and education. So it's very difficult to deal with it all with equanimity, but the smartest people work as a team, don't take credit for themselves, but appreciate hardworking people. He neither discourages himself nor discourages others by unnecessary criticism, but he knows people.

Procedure for asking questions

Such people also know that one way to spread knowledge is to ask questions, but those questions should be meaningful, not pointless and boring. It inquires about things and situations. The purpose of their questions is not to insult anyone but to increase their knowledge and knowledge.

Improve your morals, set an example for others, behave well and if you have the same qualities, improve it even more. And disappointment can't stop for long if we continue to improve it, we will become the best example for the society, because a good person is not less than an intelligent person. Because if intelligence is a quality, then a good person is a quality more than Together we are a lot They are happy and theirs

migration , Europe , Dream, Reality ,Tragedy

Along with economic problems, social pressures and family expectations also push people towards illegal migration

Europe has always been a dream for Pakistani people. A dream that some people take legal means to achieve, but some people, especially those with financial difficulties, resort to illegal means.

These paths are similar to gambling, but in this gambling, not money, but lives are at stake. If he wins, illegal entry into Europe is possible, but if he loses, he surrenders his life and his family's dreams to the merciless waves of the Mediterranean.

The problem of illegal migration through human trafficking is not new, but it has given rise to many tragic stories in recent years. According to the report of the Foreign Office, five Pakistani victims of human trafficking lost their lives during the night of 14 and 15 December 2024 while trying to enter the Greek maritime borders. Three of these unfortunate persons belonged to different districts of Punjab.

The most heartbreaking incident is the death of thirteen-year-old Muhammad Abid, whose name is included in the list of the dead. Under what compulsion would this young child, who had not even tasted the early joys of life, leave the affection of his parents and embark on this fatal journey? This question is enough to shake our social and national conscience.

A similar incident took place in the year 2023 as well, the major tragedy that sparked intense debate on the issue of human trafficking across Pakistan. About 262 people lost their lives in this tragedy. National and social media are hot on this topicHeated debates ensued and in the face of public pressure, the government made big claims and promises to end the problem. However, even today the question remains that why the government failed to implement these promises? Did the efforts to get to the root of the problems failed or were all these statements just temporary political tactics?

The question is, why do Pakistanis prefer to be a part of the dangerous game of death instead of living in their own country? If one considers the factors that force Pakistanis to migrate illegally, the fact emerges that these reasons are rooted in the failure of our social, economic, social and political system.

Among all these problems, the biggest and most fundamental problem is economic destruction. Rising.

Along with economic problems, social pressures and family expectations also push people towards illegal migration. Such individuals take dangerous paths in life in an attempt to fulfill their dreams. Those who take illegal routes, face life and death risks. Now we must discuss those who travel legally under duress.

Educated youth who are disillusioned with the prospect of a better future at home spend huge sums of money to go to Europe. Once there, they do menial jobs like security guards, hotel waiters, or taxi drivers, but these jobs earn more than any top job in Pakistan.

After all, how will it be tolerated? 

This question makes the heart flutter whether the moment will be easy when a mother says goodbye to her child, or when a father sends his heart on the most difficult journey of life.

We are adherents of an ideology and belief in which governance is based on justice, mercy and welfare of the people. The same system in which it was said that if even a dog died of hunger on the bank of the river, then the account must be given to the ruler. History bears witness that our leaders used to stay awake at night and patrol the streets and neighborhoods to ensure that no one sleeps hungry. If there was knowledge of someone in need, the rulers themselves would have loaded the goods on their shoulders and reached out to help.

n the context of these examples, our current rulers need to think. Those people who die in search of better employment and life, they will also be held accountable by the rulers. This responsibility is not limited to stories of the past, but requires practical steps in today's era.

Educated youth who spend lakhs of rupees to go abroad are forced to do menial jobs. Engineers, doctors and masters degree holders who become security guards, hotel waiters or taxi drivers instead of working according to their qualifications are wasting their talents.

If suitable business opportunities are provided to these youth within the country, not only will their education and skills be properly utilized, but they will also be able to avoid being humiliated and humiliated. As a result, when the educated youth will play a role in the country's economy, the economy will be stable, the quality of life of the people will improve due to the increase in employment opportunities.

The sacrifices of those who lose their lives in search of better employment is enough to make us realize that we have to reform our economic, social and political systems. Only then will we be able to become a strong and independent nation, where no one has to risk their lives to fulfill their dreams.

Why Are We Afraid of Change?

Why Are We Afraid of Change?

Change is the only constant in life.

  In the corporate world, it is often said that the only permanent reality is change. Change means that what was there yesterday is no longer present today, and what exists today will not be there tomorrow. Despite knowing this, we often try to keep things static because we fear change and are usually unwilling to embrace it.

Why are we afraid of change?

We fear change because, along with it, we have to change ourselves to align with new demands. This requires learning new skills and adapting to new environments. Since we are accustomed to the old environment, which feels comfortable, we are reluctant to put ourselves through the discomfort of acquiring new skills or adjusting to a new setting.

Autism Children

Children, Parents, and Societal Attitudes

Children with autism hold a unique place. There are varying degrees of it. Some children are very slow, while others fall into the hyperactivity category. Both of these conditions impact their ability to understand. Children on the autism spectrum often face difficulties expressing emotions and interacting with others.

 Understanding their needs is very difficult. Since these children don't fall under the category of "special children," they appear completely normal in appearance, making it challenging to understand their ASD condition. Parents of autistic children face numerous obstacles in every area of life. The challenges they face are vast and complex.

 The journey of these parents is tough and begins with their family, as there is not much awareness about autism in our society. As a result, people already have preconceived notions, which not only stigmatize the child but also the parents.

 Ignorance about autism is an unfortunate problem that many parents face, and wherever they go, they spend most of their time explaining to people that their child only has some difficulties, and nothing else. Parents of autistic children set aside their desires and focus all their attention on their child's well-being.

 They do all this out of love for their child. Additionally, parents face a delicate financial situation due to the high costs associated with addressing the many issues linked to raising these children, as their treatment methods are very expensive. Many parents have to sacrifice their careers for their care or work double shifts.

 The reality is that these parents often age prematurely due to mental and physical exhaustion. Along with physical labor, the mental strain of worrying not just about the child's present but also their future overwhelms parents. Raising these children becomes even more difficult for parents when members of society do not understand their issues. These children often display unusual behavior in public rather than in isolation, causing parents deep embarrassment.

 The reactions of people vary, as every individual in society has a different response. Not everyone is sensitive, kind, or accepting. These negative reactions directly affect both the child and the parents. This leads to social isolation for the parents. Due to people's varying attitudes, they reach a level of sensitivity where they feel forced, guilty, and become confused, angry, or depressed.

 Autistic children are treated through therapies, and sometimes medications are used to calm their minds, enabling them to function somewhat in society. However, both these treatment methods are very expensive and time-consuming. Government-level institutions should be established in every city to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment of autistic children, as proper treatment allows many children to return to a more normal life.

 The government should take greater responsibility in this regard and set up centers for autistic children in regular schools in every city. Furthermore, there should be widespread public awareness about autism so that these children can become better members of society.

Teachers build nations

 Teachers are both advisors and friends to students

The World Teachers' Day is celebrated annually on October 5th, recognizing the remarkable contributions of teachers, teachers' organizations, and educational institutions in shaping and nurturing future leaders. In 1994, UNESCO officially designated October 5th as World Teachers' Day, and since then, this day has been observed with great dedication every year.

World Teachers' Day is a special occasion that emotionally connects both teachers and students. For teachers, it is a moment of appreciation as their efforts and hard work are acknowledged not only by students but also by school administrations, parents, and various other institutions. For students, it is an opportunity to express their gratitude to those teachers who have made a positive impact on their lives. On this day, parents also have the chance to appreciate the performance of their children’s teachers by sending them congratulatory letters. In today's era, through social media, we can express our gratitude to various teachers for their outstanding services. Students can offer their teachers bouquets, chocolates, greeting cards, or thank them through portraits, poetry, and drawings. Well-off students, with their parents' permission, can organize luncheons, dinners, or parties in recognition of their teachers’ services. Additionally, students can post pictures of their teachers on social media to express their admiration......

Alongside teaching, teachers also nurture their students, preparing them for a better future because teachers are the true embodiment of knowledge and wisdom. They raise awareness among students and the general public, serving as a beacon of light for those lost in the darkness of ignorance. Our teachers are the real pillars of our success. They help us acquire knowledge, refine our abilities, boost our confidence, and guide us in choosing the path to success. Despite playing such a significant role in shaping the lives of students and building the nation, teachers are rarely appreciated as much as they deserve. Therefore, as students, parents, school administrations, and responsible citizens, it is our duty to thank them and wholeheartedly acknowledge their sacrifices. World Teachers' Day provides an ideal opportunity for us to fulfill this responsibility......

Teachers work tirelessly every day to encourage, guide, educate, and train us and our children. If we take a moment to reflect on our childhood or adolescence, at least one teacher will come to mind who helped shape our personality, taught us new skills, guided us in choosing the right field, motivated us to work hard, showed us the value of respect, encouraged us to remain determined despite challenges, made a seemingly dull subject fascinating, and provided positive guidance in many other ways. You may also recall or currently observe teachers who not only fulfill their primary role of teaching but also take on several other responsibilities. Teachers act as advisors and friends to their students. Many teachers even become guardians for their students, helping them navigate difficult circumstances and setting them on the path to a brighter future......

Though teaching is a noble profession, it is equally challenging and complex. In today’s advanced era, it seems that teachers face more difficulties than ever before. Some of the issues they encounter daily in the classroom include disruptive and inappropriate environments, lack of resources, time constraints, insufficient professional development, excessive and unrealistic expectations from school administrations and parents, and a lack of moral support. The large number of students in the classroom also limits the teachers' ability to provide individual attention. Teachers build nations, but in many developing countries, their salaries and benefits are meager, depriving them of the status they rightfully deserve in society. Despite all these challenges, teachers continue to play a vital role in the restoration of education, fulfilling their duties with dedication......

Since teachers prepare students for the future, it is crucial that they also recognize the importance of their demanding and delicate role. They must be ready to embrace every challenge, adapt to changing circumstances, and acquire new skills and modern teaching methods to overcome the obstacles that hinder the proper education of students......

On World Teachers' Day, school administrations, along with students, should decorate the school and organize events to thank the teachers for their selfless services. Ensure that every teacher is individually spoken to, expressing admiration for them. Some teachers may be going through difficulties, so this occasion can be an opportunity to offer them support. Additionally, certificates, shields, and gifts should be distributed among the teachers. If possible, offer them cash prizes or salary increases to further motivate them to contribute positively to the nation’s progress with greater enthusiasm, confidence, and passion.....

Modern Energy

Affordable, Reliable, and Modern Energy Access

Energy is the capability that provides the power to perform work or bring about change. It exists in various forms and plays a fundamental role in our daily lives, such as lighting, running vehicles, and powering industrial processes. Using energy in a safe and efficient manner is essential for achieving our social and environmental objectives. If the supply and management of energy are not handled properly, it can lead to the depletion of natural resources and environmental problems.

Energy is involved in every aspect of human life, and its importance can be gauged from the fact that it is a basic necessity. When we talk about access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy, we are actually referring to a significant global target, Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7. The aim of SDG 7 is to ensure that by 2030, everyone has access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy.

Worldwide, access to energy is a basic need that affects every aspect of human life. This access should be affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern so that it can improve the quality of life for every individual in both developing and developed countries. In this blog, we will review the key aspects that can help improve energy access and highlight its benefits.
First, let's talk about affordable and efficient energy. Energy prices depend on various factors, such as global market prices, production costs, and government policies. Access to affordable energy means that people can meet their basic needs at a lower cost. This requires using efficient techniques in energy production, such as solar and wind energy, which can be cheaper compared to traditional fossil fuels. Moreover, governments should provide subsidies and formulate effective policies to stabilize energy prices.

Reliable energy supply means that there should be no interruptions or disruptions in energy provision. Power outages, gas shortages, or other issues can hinder the reliability of energy. To solve this issue, it is necessary to strengthen energy infrastructure and adopt modern technological solutions. For example, smart grid technology makes energy distribution and supply to consumers more efficient, or modern storage methods improve energy availability.

Sustainability means that energy resources should be used in such a way that they remain available for future generations. Fossil fuels like coal and oil not only cause environmental pollution but their reserves are also limited. Sustainable energy resources include solar, wind, and hydropower, which are not only environmentally friendly but can also be effective in the long term. Furthermore, using energy-saving techniques, such as efficient lighting, modern building designs, and low-energy electronic devices, is essential to improving energy efficiency.

Modern energy techniques and sources play a key role in improving energy access. Developments in energy generation and storage technologies make energy systems more efficient and reliable. For instance, modern sources like biomass and hydrogen fuel cells enhance the possibilities of energy supply. Similarly, modern storage techniques, such as battery storage, improve energy availability and increase the capacity to store surplus energy.

Considering all these factors, the benefits of affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy access extend beyond individuals or households, as they improve society and the economy as a whole. Affordable energy fulfills basic needs, reliable energy helps prevent energy crises, sustainable energy contributes to environmental protection, and modern energy technologies pave the way for future advancements.

In conclusion, ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for everyone is a significant and challenging goal that is crucial for social development and global welfare. By improving energy resources, adopting modern technological solutions, and promoting sustainability, we can achieve this goal. It is essential that we all work together and take effective measures at every level to bring about positive changes in the energy sector and provide a better quality of life for everyone.

However, there are challenges in achieving these benefits. Developing energy infrastructure, the cost of adopting modern technological solutions, and the need to reduce environmental impacts are among these challenges. Addressing these challenges requires cooperation and joint efforts among governments, international organizations, and the private sector.

Proper Nutrition and Exercise

 

Just as life is a great gift from Allah Almighty, good health is also an invaluable blessing from nature. Maintaining good health plays a vital role in experiencing the joys and pleasures of life to the fullest. In fact, only a healthy person can truly enjoy the blessings and delights bestowed by Allah. It is rightly said that health is a thousand blessings.

The natural system has placed an automatic mechanism within our bodies to protect our health and keep our bodies functioning properly for an appropriate period. The human body has an automatic defense system that constantly works to eliminate numerous diseases naturally. For example, our mouths produce countless harmful bacteria daily, which can be extremely harmful to various organs, especially our hearts. However, when a person walks briskly and breathes deeply, the rapid intake of air kills numerous dangerous bacteria as soon as the mouth opens. It seems that through proper exercise, our bodies obtain countless benefits that are not commonly known to us.

Research has proven that as humans age, their blood vessels become stiffer, leading to increased risk of heart conditions. With mild exercise, not only do muscles become more flexible and the mind clearer, but it also facilitates better blood flow through the vessels. Therefore, incorporating appropriate exercise into life is essential. For older individuals, simply walking around the house may be sufficient.

healthy and prosperous life. Consuming proper and nutritious food is crucial for living a healthy life along with various other factors. Therefore, one should make consuming such food a part of their daily routine, which is rich in nutrition. The human body requires water, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals on a daily basis for better functioning. Therefore, efforts should be made to consume food that is prepared according to the principles of health preservation.

To achieve good health, adhering to some basic principles can help individuals avoid many complications. For example, cleanliness and hygiene are very important for good health. Timely eating and balanced diet, along with a balanced work and rest routine, can be very beneficial for human health.

Consuming healthy food does not mean that one should eat to their fill and never leave space for breathing. Some people pay a lot of attention to meat, while one small burger or a large steak per week is sufficient meat intake for human body requirements. Fish and chicken can also be eaten once a week, while the rest of the protein requirement can be fulfilled through vegetables. Fruits and vegetables should be an essential part of our diet. Nature has created various things for us, and using them appropriately can help in maintaining human health. Instead of consuming one thing excessively, a variety of foods should be eaten so that the body continues to receive nutrition according to its needs.

Research shows that a diet rich in fiber is very beneficial for humans. Researchers suggest that the daily diet should include 25 grams of fiber, while 30 grams is more appropriate. Fiber naturally reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. It also helps control weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Fiber can be obtained from fruits, vegetables, whole grain bread, pasta made from bran, lentils, chickpeas, fruits, and seeds. An average-sized banana contains about three grams of fiber, while half a cup of cooked lentils, a large slice of brown bread, cooked rice, and apple peel all contain four grams of fiber.

Our health is related not only to our body but also to our emotions. Not controlling anger and emotions can be harmful to human health. Therefore, efforts should be made to keep our thoughts pure. Just as envy destroys goodness, it also harms the human body. Therefore, adopting good morals and avoiding bad habits can be extremely beneficial for human health and soul. Consuming clean and pure food leads to the production of clean and healthy blood in the body, which also affects human thoughts, ideas, and intentions, thus having an impact on the human soul.

Therefore, consume clean food for the health of your body and soul. Include pure thoughts and positive perspectives in your thoughts, intentions, and ideas, so that our body and soul become pure.

Clash of Civilizations

•  Our world has been established for millions of years. In it, the human race has traversed various stages. Different societies and cultures have emerged and disappeared due to the mingling of human beings. Even in the present world, there are several types of cultures, such as Western culture, Chinese culture, and Islamic culture. Some cultures have disappeared from the pages of history altogether, such as the Paranoiac culture of Egypt, and the Republic of Rome. Although their remnants are still present, they have ceased to exist in their entirety. Some cultures excel in dominating others through systematic colonization.
•  Here, it is noteworthy that whenever culture is mentioned, it does not refer to any particular country. For example, if we mention Western culture now, Europe comes to mind because after the Second World War, the idea of ​​unifying the small kingdoms of Europe into one European state with zero politics has perhaps been around for centuries. Despite being nations within Europe, there is no war or bombings. There are no guns fired there; no bombs explode. When the people and the government work together towards a common goal, it is called economy. The people of Belgium are Belgians, along with Europeans; the people of Germany are Germans, along with Europeans. The same experience was also adopted by America's founding father, Lieutenant General George Washington, and his establishment. It was also tried and tested in newly settled or ruined islands such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and its work not only succeeded but is still ongoing.
•  So whenever the name of Western culture comes up, it will mean all these countries.
•  So, it is clear from all this that culture does not refer to any particular country. One culture can prevail in several countries. Religion plays the most significant role in influencing culture. It means that one culture can decide which religion to choose, or not choose at all. Not choosing religion entirely does not mean that it does not play a role in society or culture. In the ancient Egyptian culture, Pharaohs (who were kings of their time) called themselves gods, and this was their religion and lifestyle. When someone invited them to Allah, they considered it a challenge to their kingship, their invented religion, country, and lifestyle. Similarly, the ancient Greek republic had its religion, which was based on many deities, gods, and various mythical stories. The repetition is that in any era, the primary unit of culture and civilization has always been religion.
•  In the present era, when different cultures emerge, it is evident that whenever there is a clash between one and the other, religion will also be involved. And in this, one's lifestyle will surely clash with the other's. One will feel that his religion, country, and lifestyle are all in danger. For example, when Europe feels its culture is threatened, it sometimes raises slogans against Islam, sometimes associates Islam with terrorism. A speech made by the French President Macron in October 2020 on this topic is very meaningful, in which he directly targeted Islam and said that Islam is in danger. Although perhaps they want to say that our culture is in danger, the statement was made in complete opposition. Similarly, a similar statement was made by former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, challenging China for its lifestyle. Westerners have always had a stance that they see everyone through their own lens, whoever disagrees is a terrorist, etc. France had sought help from the Father of the Nation, George Washington, and his establishment, and he had ousted England from America. Freedom of Speech had also been imported from France and reached the capital of America, about which President Trump says we made a big mistake. Meaning, the fish has fallen into its own trap.
•  Here, another noteworthy point is that Western culture is under the control of governments, but here, it is up to the people to do this because sometimes it seems that our governments want something else. This creates a contradiction, then corruption spreads, sometimes in the form of rallies and processions, and sometimes it appears in a very harsh tone. Then external forces come in between, and proxy wars become ours. Its price is also paid by the public.
•  Then the role of Western media is very important in this, which is playing a very important role in spreading their culture. Not spreading, but here, people are so impressed that perhaps adopting it is considered empire and honor, and they are proud of it. This attitude is almost present in all those countries which have been some kind of Western colony and have been subjected to slavery.
•  Here, its expression is often, for example, celebrating various days, which have no connection with us at all, such as Valentine's Day, Labor Day, Birth Day. Take Birth Day, for example; it was started by the Egyptian Pharaohs. History tells us that it was limited only to kings or Pharaohs. From there, it came to the Romans. The Romans were the first to adopt the practice of putting up wax statues because they believed that it would ward off evil spirits. Then when Rome became Christian, this event also became a part of the Christian religion. But it had not yet reached the common people. This work was finally done by capitalism. German bakers made a cake for it and started selling it to the public, and gradually, this event of kings came to the reach of a common man and became an essential part of Western culture and lifestyle. But it is surprising that today it is so common in our culture as if we were not born without it. On top of that, in the frenzy of Media Day, Face book is now telling me the Birth Day of those people I have not met in ten years. Capitalism wins everywhere.
•  Anyway, a single conference on the war of cultures is not enough. The only thing is how we can save ourselves from this war?

Lessons of Life

"In life, there are many moments of happiness and sorrow,

 but life continues to move forward because humans cannot be stagnant. Therefore, we cannot cling to one sorrow like a necklace and neither can we rely solely on one happiness. Instead, life compels us to strive for improvement and we learn to navigate life's challenges. However, as we age, we learn five lessons of life that most people cannot grasp early on.

We often take the love of our life partners, friends, and family members for granted, assuming that maintaining relationships doesn't require any effort. However, the reality is quite the opposite. Relationships are like flowers that require timely attention, care, and nurturing. To sustain relationships, we must invest time and make sacrifices. It's only later in life that we realize we've neglected our invaluable treasures of relationships in our busy lives and lost them. Relationships may exist over time, but they become lifeless entities devoid of any essence.

Another crucial point is that we cannot take care of our families until we ourselves are healthy, happy, and content. Both physical and mental well-being necessitate regular exercise, walking, yoga, swimming, or any physical activity that keeps us healthy. However, despite understanding this, our entire lives pass by, and we only pay attention to ourselves when we involuntarily become victims of illness, and walking or exercising becomes a remedy for us.

Our friends, loved ones, and family members want our time, but each of us has become so busy nowadays that we don't have time to give to anyone. Even on holidays and festivals, we just exchange messages. In the race for money, we've progressed so much that the only concept of real happiness for us is money. Although money is crucial in human life, spending time with friends and spending quality time with our family is even more important.

Every day brings us a new message; we can learn something new every day and enhance our knowledge and skills. We can present ourselves as better individuals in society. It's a misconception that we're now matured and can't do anything more. The truth is that there's never a delay in learning something new every day. We're all human and there's no limit to developing the best qualities in us. For believers, every day is a celebration when they haven't done anything wrong.

Humans are social animals; we can't do anything alone, but we also realize much later how dependent we are on others for many things. Just as we have many needs tied to others, people also have many needs tied to us. Learning the art of conversation is truly admirable, and it's also an emotional skill in how we express ourselves in certain situations and make people feel our presence. Successful individuals learn these five lessons of life before spending time so that they can avoid hardships in life."
