On the right side of the history


اگر آپ حق کے ساتھ نہیں کھڑے تو پھر تاریخ کو اس سے کوئی غرض نہیں کہ آپ مسجد کے حجرے میں تھے یا طوائف کے کوٹھے پر ۔

Some Spouses

Sandra Bullock

 Sandra Bullock once said something powerful:


“There are moments when the urge to strike back is strong—to return every insult, every act of cruelty. But then I pause. I look deeper. I see their lives, their struggles, and I realize… life has already dealt them its share of battles.”

Not every war needs words.
Sometimes, silence is the most powerful response.

Because in the end, we all give what we carry inside.
I choose not to mirror their hurt—I choose to move forward.

Let others be consumed by bitterness. I’ll walk with peace.

Arundhati Roy says

 “To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”


Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

Purpose

As Ralph Waldo Emerson says: "“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
