WHO MAY RULE BETTER?
Posted Jul 3, 2004
A.R.Shams's 'Reflection':
As a matter of fact humans living on earth crave to be blessed with these : Health, Money, Home, Fun, peace of mind and so on.
Whereas in this strange world due to certain myterious reasons they are not freely or easily achievable by each and every individual.
And for that he/she has to 'Meet Challenges' and 'Accept Struggles' of life.
This sort of positive moves of life to live lively 'Creative Living Spirit' is the need of all the times.
For that he/she needs to care for social, economical, political, educational, environmental matters of the community, nation and world as well that are the professional activities of the one 'WHO MAY RULE BETTER?'.
Choosing, selectiong, electing the exact desiring and deserving ones for ruling the rest of us, is the topmost chief activities of the individual to be careful and cautious while doing so.

WHO'S TO VOTE FOR?
Posted Feb 11, 2004
A.R.Shams's 'Creative Living Spirit' Reflection:
In a public gathering some persons were talking on whom to vote for a seat of national assembly. The first one said, 'In my constituency twelve candidtes have submitted their nominations while none of them seem to me deserve my casting because they, so far my knowledge goes, are in a competion of excelling each other in corruption.
The Second one: That's why I'm not going to waste my vote for anyone of them.
The Third : Look! Either we cast our votes for none or not, one of them surely would get the victory. So why not then we vote for the one who is less corrupted in our time of corruption race!

HONOUR - DISHONOUR
Posted Feb 7, 2004
A.R.Shams's 'Creative Living Spirit' Reflection:
A.R.Shams's 'Creative Living Spirit' Reflection:
Where there is honour, dishonour is there adjacent to it seeking its turn of entrance.
Because Entrance – Exit, Love – Hate, Joy – Sorrow, War – Peace, Friendship – Enmity, Life – Death, Fame – Defame, Respect – Disrespect, Grace – Disgrace and their similar pairs are said to be in existence in their respective twin companionship quite like as that of Honour – Dishonour.
Each member of the each twin exists together and departs together.
A senior friend of mine before fifteen years now said in an occasion to some of his loveliest friends when he noticed many people began to offer him too much respect beyond his expectation, because he was holding a powerful key position, “The more flashes of honour I receive, the more flashbacks of dishonour I perceive.”
He was right. Within a few months of that he narrow escaped a number dishonourable situations, as he said before his expiry last year at his about 70 despite the fact that he was proved to an innocent fellow.
Another fellow 70’s, those days, who was known to people by his nick, ‘Pehlwan’ (wrestler) said, “I left wrestling at a point of time when I was almost at the rising point adjacent to the peak of the highest fame in wrestling.”
This fellow was never defamed as a champion wrestler although he is no more with us now.
One of the best champions in cricket, an ex-captain of Pakistan National Team said, “I took retirement from the National Team far before time.”
He was at the top gear of ‘Talk’ of the cricket fans worldwide, when he said ‘goodbye’ to cricket.
Did he do so to maintain the honour he was gifted with?
On another occasion on being asked for his early retirement he said, “To maintain the honour one receives, if possible, one should disappear from the scene, where and when one is blessed with reaching just near to the peak."
It is difficult to acquire honour but it is more difficult to maintain that because ‘dishonour' shall trace out the recipient of ‘honour’ soon jealously for a strange reason.
At whatever capacity as a scientist, engineer, doctor, journalist, publisher, minister, president or a king or else, when one is honoured, he/she must care about the speed of that. Because the fellow at the steering wheel has to care about the speed limit that remains controllable in case of need of any brake etc.
Doesn’t it mean that we need more care to devote towards being honoured than dishonoured or disgraced?
History repeatedly tells about the ultimate disastrous destiny of the too rich, poor, famous, merciful or cruel people.
Anything beyond limit results to quite opposite to that.
Now, if anyone is dishonoured, how can we judge about the percentage of its being justified or unjustified?
However, that’s a different chapter of discussion.
Whereas, we are concerned here to teach ourselves the art of receiving honour more cautiously than we may do if unfortunately dishonour gets its turn to reach.
“When faith is lost, when honor dies, the man is dead!” - WHITTIER
That’s why some people talk of honour, “Why not postpone picking more of honour one after another before unwrapping and checking the recent one to confirm if that’s genuine, counterfeit or too genuine.”
Remember that the ‘too genuine’ one may be an alarm for us to be ready to receive the subsequent ones – the chains of ‘dishonour’.
May we be protected from dishonour – too much of honour!
Opinions welcomed!

REASONABLE QUALITY LEADERSHIP
Posted Feb 6, 2004
A.R.Shams's 'Creative Living Spirit' Reflection:
The world of ours needs adequate quantity of quality leaderships more than bread, cloth and shelter.
One of the most essential and responsible professionals are the politicians who lead the communities, nations and in broader scale the whole world, their nomination, selection and election process is of supreme importance which remains the most ignored task in our society .
More or less, directly or indirectly, these people who lead the world fortuately or unfortunately should be regarded as the guardians/parents of the mankind.
Whereas parenting is not a child's play as it is taken by many irresponsible people. Thats why 'voting is the choosing the best rejecting the rest'.
So the people/voters need awareness about how to choose the best rejecting the rest.
A person whose parents, relatives, friends and associates are/were mostly cruel,crazy,half-mad,full-mad,quarter-mad, killer, destroyer, kind-hearted,generous,broad-minded or such else,more chances are there for him/her to treat his/her people or the world in the capacity of more than any of them or in combination of some or many for a strange logical or psychological reason, which may not be known to common people.
Why he/she does so when he/she does, as and when he/she would be blessed or cursed with the power of leadership.
So it is the people who are more responsible to select or reject a quality or disquality leader than the leader himself/herself for his/her wrong/right moves.

Peace of Mind
Posted Nov 21, 2003
A 'Creative Living Spirit' Message :
Life on this planet is quite temporary. Departing from the face of the earth and being hidden a few feet down from the surface or that in different way is sure when the soul departs from the body .
None is telling us that these days someone, somewhere sometime for some reason is beyond his / her one hundred and living now with total senses active and lively.
Men , mostly lusting money, wealth, influence forget their own life goal and roll like stones and ultimately gather no moss.
Many of such extreme ones can be found on streets, hospital beds, mental hospitals or in prisons because maximum number of their brain cells get fused and insanity reveals out of them.
He who becomes like that, sometimes although looks sane yet mostly some of such ones are semi-crack.
But we should be more careful of them while facing a half crack than a full one.
A half or a qaurter insane one is not 'himself/herself'.
Directly or indirectly his personality has most probably been influenced by activities of different persons whom he made unknowingly or willingly his ideal. Different phases of their personalities rush in his mind although his own one is immitated one because he constantly receives negative sparks from those who were hurt by hi either alive or dead whose sincere belief on him has been deceived by him and of them many are or were his friends , associates, relatives ,instructors,bosses,teachers,trainers,brothers or sisters or in some cases even his parents.
He who adopts immoral moves, is in desparity. May Allah have pity on him ! So, one should take that step of life which covers almost all moral aspects of life and living. If it is beyond one's understanding , the best means for him is to find a few number elders or friends who are not whimsical and they posses pretty good family , social, personal background and take their advice on the step that is going to be taken. Also everything must be explained sincerely concealing nothing that may later be the cause of harm to oneself who does that mistake.
Remember, peace of mind is more important than all other achievements of life, considering that death is inevitable. So if you think of peace of mind , you will hardly ever take any immoral step.
There are many steps of life which are your rights to take. But making jealous competitions against your father, elder brother, your best friend, your trainer, master, teacher, an admireror true lover - in the circle, adjacent to him/her or just opposite to him/her is totally immoral.
If you are in this immoral fire , only you are on it alone to burn yourself.
Even if you are taking any revenge of your so said friends,associates,teachers or parents - you could have avioded doing so for the sake fof morality, your health , mind and soul. Why do you torture yourself if you want peace of mind , the eternal happy living ?
