NEVER BACK DOWN

-


    Life is full of twist and turn. It can have happiness but sorrow as well. Life is full of facts and people who cannot be ignored at all. Some people believe that things, people, situations and truths in many cases can be avoided. However, this is not how life is meant to be. Avoiding such truths and situations can bring momentary peace but however in the long term it has quite the opposite effect on a person's life. Avoiding the things, people, situations and truths that we fear to face can be the ones that destroy our life. 

    Life is not always full of good people. Life may from time and again make one face the person one prefers to avoid. There are people in this world that we hope never to face as we dread or fear them. It is only natural for us to have such feelings. Every living creature on this planet has such feelings. A fly hopes never to come in face with a spider. The spider hopes never to come in front of a frog. A from hopes never to come in face with a snake. A snake with an eagle and the eagle with a hunter. Hence, all living creatures fear another but can never avoid them as this is a world that we all share. One can learn a lot from the person that one prefers to avoid. By avoiding them, we just shut our eyes and ears to our weaknesses.

    Life also happens to be full of situations that are sometimes the best while the worst at the other times. It is not always that situations favor us. Some situations leave us bewildered, not knowing what to do. In some situations even with the closest of our friends, we can be left feeling awkward. There may be situations when people who we care the most for are the ones who hurt us the most. There are situations when we feel the most loneliest regardless of the number of friends surrounding us. However, every situation one faces in life has something to teach us.

    Truths can be sweet but can also be bitter. Living in this world means having to confront the truth on many occasions. Its not always about facing the truths that are sweet but also those that are bitter. Truths are something that can never be avoided in life. Facing the truth or avoiding them is what shapes our life. One may attempt to hide the truth and may be successful to some extent but one can never hide it forever. The truth always comes out at one time or the other regardless of the efforts made to hide it. The truth faced immediately regardless of how bitter it is usually has a positive effect on one's life while the vice versa occurs when truth is hidden for sometime. A person who faces the truth head on can be of strong and respectable character in life where as one who tries to hide the truth turns to become weak and disreputable once the truth is revealed.

Hence, life is full of people, situations and truths that one may believe is better off avoided but is is not so. Such people, situations and truths have a lot to teach us. They may seem demotivating from one view but can be quite different in reality. So the most important thing in life is to NEVER BACK DOWN.

    The situation that erupted yesterday on the 3rd of September 2020 can be regarded as a black mark in the peaceful Nepalese history as well as  the Newa history of Patan. Never before did such a situation occur during the festival of Machhinadranath Jatra. The situation was not only of violence but also became a basis of racism with people blaming the entire Newa community for the situation.      The god Machhindranath also known as the lord Avalokiteshvara, Bungadeya, Padmapani, Lokeshvara  & also as  " करुणामय "  is one of the most respected deity in the Newa culture. The deity is the giver of rain & the god of harvest who according to the legends and beliefs was brought from Assam, India into the valley during the reign of King Narendra Malla when the valley suffered from drought. It is believed that back in the time, Gorakhnath had captured all the snakes in the valley and the rain could only come when his guru Machhindranath a...

THE STRUGGLE OF AN INDIGENOUS YOUTH

(This article was sent by me to the Global Indigenous Youth Caucus to apply for the post of one of the Asia region writer for their book)     Being an indigenous youth can be a world full of opportunities as well as a barrier. Youth hold the power to shift the dynamics of the world. If we want change, we must provide leadership support for youth in making change possible. Indigenous youth in particular continue to face racism and discrimination and are marginalized in society, but when they have a sense of belonging and a strong cultural identity they become resilient, powerful individuals. They have immersed roots through their ancestral lineage, wisdom, and intelligence. They are the future leaders for their communities. It is critical to restore leadership from the erosion of their traditional knowledge practices and habitat so that they can begin to create a more sustainable interdependent system for the coming generations.      My story is quite c...

Is leadership an inborn trait or a learnt trait?     This is a question that has been discussed throughout the ages. Some people believe that leadership is hisomething that one is born with. In the views of others, leadership is a trait that is learnt through practice and dedication. Before discussing whether it is learnt or inborn trait, one question must be answered: What is leadership?     Leadership is an essential trait that helps to lead a group. It is a trait that provides light in the darkness. Leadership is a trait that can be taken as a light of hope in the darkness.
