Tenant | Harison Xavier

-



Once a man saw a beautiful property and a mansion like house left abandon in a far away land . With the money he had in his hand, he rented that beautiful palace-like mansion. Then a thought occurred to him. He is the king of this palace. Then he started behaving arrogantly to everyone around him. He treated a poor man who went to see him with arrogance.

The poor man asked him 

"You who live in a rented house and yet you behave like a king. Ask your own conscience, what is the truth? Nothing of it is your own. But your appearance? Everything is of your own ... wow!"

If we think about it there are people today like this. Sometimes even me.  Nothing on earth is our own. Everything is a gift. Our life is a gift from God, Or if you are an atheist, then all around us is a major accident and things around us just happened. 

We are just tenants in this world. This world do not belong to us. 

What's more, even our name is not for us, even it is for another person to address us. We all will be gone some day and all we worked hard for will be left behind abandon. Do not waste time arguing. Do not try to impose your theory in front of others. Each person can use different methods for self-reflection.

Kerala - Alleppey
Kerala - Alleppey 

Let me talk just about the people of Kerala state in India. Malayalees or Mallus the people who speak Malayalam. It will not be right if I speak about all India because even though it is a single nation, people in India have different tradition, culture, language and cuisines. India today was 584 different countries.  

Kerala is one of the most beautiful states in India. It has the highest literacy rate. Education brought the economic and cultural changes to the state as we see today, yet, due to the rapid economic progress in the lives of the Malayalees, they did not know how to properly disburse the money. It can be said that swindling reached its peak when those who used to live in small houses suddenly built houses worth crores of rupees and even invited people from whole region to private celebrations. This is just an introduction to corruption.

We forgot to live a life with simple and happy. We made things difficult for ourselves. We forgot our neighbors and friends, we started to live life isolated and selfishly.  

Each of us must follow the simple life lesson taught by Christ in his life. Live life simple. 

We who are obsessed with even the smallest things, should always be aware of this. See the good in others. Make life great.

The Holy Bible says

"For we have one Father, the only God, who is the Father of all, and we are to live unto him.     (1 Corinthians 8: 6).

The Three Envelopes

  The following is a story I heard when I was at primary school, our principal said this story during our weekly assembly, don't know why but I still remember it. Reading the daily news and watching people closely, I see that this story is repeating and it is still relevant.  The Three Envelopes      Mark, the C.E.O of a multinational company is sitting at his chair in his luxurious office. Today is his last day at the office. He is waiting for the new C.E.O Steve to arrive at his office and have a one-last conversation. The new C.E.O arrived and they shook hands, chatted a bit and Mark said, "I have a gift for you, Steve. I want you to have this it helped me during difficult times here. Open each envelope when you have a major crisis."       Mark handed over a box that contained three sealed envelopes. Mark said, "This was given to me by the C.E.O. before me." Saying this Mark waved goodbye and walked out the door.       ...

Five Years Of Writing

Time  Yeah.....here we are. Five years...... "The Following Are Just Random Thoughts In My Head" It started as a hobby and still is. When I started I never knew where this is going to lead. Thank you for all the time I got to write, I am happy I did what I can. One thought in my mind, " So much lonely time". Most of of these post take more than two hours to write as I need to think and then I will need to keep the draft to think again wondering if I need to post it or just delete it, I debate with myself and then I got a friend who often proof reads every single line and correct my mistake  (she works for free and I have not paid her anything. I must pay her something).  Often I tell myself "Get a life." I should have done something else. Now I don't know why I write. Just want to write down all the debate I have with me. I wish I had a friend to talk to and discuss about life and everything under the stars and including stars.  Forgot how to make a fr...
