Where does this vicious cycle stop?

  Can children or adults truly escape the snares of abusers or past trauma? Is there light at the end of the tunnel for such victims? When children are abused physically and/or mentally at a very young age they will end up with invisible scares that cannot be healed. It will haunt them for life. For example, it was nothing short of disturbing to watch the News1st video related to the above news article on Newswire (Police hunt for man caught on video assaulting toddler) , which was also widely shared on social media. It was like a clip from a horror movie. This so-called father calls his toddler to eat. He feeds the child some food and in the same go punches this little child in the face with a closed fist and the toddler falls to the ground. After a few minutes the father calls the child again to eat. This child obeys his father and goes to be fed with tears streaming down his face, only this time to be brutally assaulted even harder and to go flying to the ground like a paper rocket

A soul that lit up the hearts of everyone - Nirmala Tisseverasinghe

"Live by life's blessings every single day".  Nirmala, you sure lived by this quotation.  You sure had a heart of gold. You were so simple-hearted, kind, loving, caring, and a friend to all. Thank you for being YOU. You sure ran a victorious race on earth and built a glorious intangible legacy. You sure were an example to us all. Well, I used to always see you as an earth-angel. In fact when I used to tell people about you when talking about the Villa, I used to always say "She is nothing short of an angel". Nirmala happily chatting to the elders whom she treated like family You really did not have to do anything that you did, but you chose to do it because helping others and being of service to others brought you pure joy. You were selfless and gave your all to everyone around. You made us all see Christ through our actions. You sure made each person at the David Frances Villa and their loved ones feel as though we were all a part of your family. May your soul

Unforgotten

A Lament Unforgotten is a compelling song by Sanjeev Niles . In this song, Sanjeev and Pabalu Wijegoonawardane   have fused music from the western and eastern worlds to highlight the intensified pain of the irreplaceable loss of a loved one, which can shatter a person’s inner core.  If you are finding it hard to find meaning in your life, and you are trying to paint a smile to the outside world while you are dying inside, PLEASE reach out to someone and get HELP . Don't let your life get caught to the snares of depression . The following is my message to everyone who is finding it hard to gather the broken pieces in your life and be whole again.  Unforgotten                                  When life robs you                                         and tears your soul apart,                                  Let your tears flow                                        but stay strong                                  Fight...

A Memory of Yesterday

I remember ever so long ago, Time can not rob my memories so, For a short time you were there, And vanished Oh! where. You hardly gave me time, To gather memorizes that were mine, But here I am today, With my memorizes not decay. I wonder what it would have been, If life had not changed from scene to scene, But it is not for me to know, As life is a confusing show. You live on at vast, A sweet memory of my past, But life goes on I know, So with it I will go.                                                   I wrote this poem in loving memory of my mother who passed away many years ago.  Have you been faced with the death of someone who was very dear to you? Have you been able to cope with grief? Have you been able to grieve without jeopardizing the rest of your life and the lives of your family members? We never know when it will be the TIME to say GOODBYE to the people we love. We just have to live life in a manner that we do not have any regret

Live, Love, and Die Right - Collateral Beauty

Collateral Beauty  is an awesome movie that touches your very soul. It is centered on how to find yourself all over again after a terrible tragedy. However, most importantly it reveals the Love-Death-Time existential triangle that connects every human being. Love - We long for love Time - We wish we had more time. Death - We fear death. Collateral Beauty also draws examples to various peoples lives to make us question whether we are living right, using our time wisely,  and even dying right. Well, in reality with every passing moment we are spending time. Time once spent can never be bought back. Therefore, the question "why" should always linger in our minds. You should always question as to why you do things to get down to the actual motive, question whether it is worth it, and then question as to how you could do things better. Why did I do or say that?   Did I do or say that to keep up with society?  Did I do or say that to shine among my peers? Did I do o

Put Yourself in Their Shoes

Are you sad? Are they sad? How are they handling it? Did you cry when they left? Will you cry when they go? These words are like clichés that we hear now and then when someone dies, gets married and leaves home, goes overseas for higher studies, or even leaves home to start a fresh on greener pastures. How often do we stop to ponder on the words that we utter; especially, in sensitive situations? It is one thing to make chit chat, but what point is conversation without substance. Do we ever stop and put ourselves in their shoes before words leave our mouths?   I hope we all make a conscious effort to THINK BEFORE SPEAKING without intentionally or unintentionally adding salt to other people’s wounds.

Age is just a number so there is no reason to take life too seriously. What is important is that we make the maximum out of life and enjoy it while we can. So make sure that you really LIVE LIFE to its fullest without being too caught up in the rat race of life because,  Yesterday is a memory, Tomorrow is a dream All you have is here and NOW. So LIVE , LOVE and LAUGH ……..
