short Thought:10 empty victory

"If you argue and rankle and contradict, you may active a victory sometimes; but it will be an empty victory because you will never get your opponents good will."

Chapter:1 JOY AND PLEASURE

-
                                          JOY AND PLEASURE 21.10.24, Monday, first hour: it was Professor Samuel Rufus Sir’s class. I was late. I knew Sir would not be happy if I was late. I was confused about whether to stay out, join the next class, and miss the inspiration, or to get scolded by him and attend the class to receive the valuable motivation and inspiration that no other staff gives. I was aware that if I attended his class, I would get something better personally, so I chose to endure the scolding and seize the treasure of inspiration. As I guessed, he was unhappy with my late entry, but he was kind enough to let me sit inside the class. He was teaching the poem "The World" by Henry Vaughan, and the class was really interesting. During this class, he talked about the difference between "JOY" and "PLEASURE," which opened my mind’s eye. He explained that "PLEASURE...

               23/10/24, Wednesday, I felt very stressed because, last night there was a small misunderstanding with my favorite cousin. She is always special to me because she was part of a very important and special day in my life. That was the happiest day in my entire life, and at the same time, it makes me equally sad now, because that day will never come back again.

I was studying in 4th standard at that time, and she was studying in class three. After that, we didn’t have contact for many years. After 11 years, I came to Chennai, where I got admission to Madras Christian College for my master’s degree, which was very close to her place.

                     Quality Rather Than Quantity Whenever I hear any word related to friendship, the first image that comes to my mind is her true, smiling face. If someone asks me the definition of friendship, I’ll simply say Bargavi, because she is the only one who made me experience true friendship. I have lived in this world for 21 years, and many people have crossed my path. She also came into my life, but she didn’t just pass through—she made an impact. It’s been three years, and still, you stay in my heart. This is the first time in my life that I can feel true love; she taught me what true love is. There were days when I didn’t even trust the word "friendship," and there were also bitter days when I believed everyone was my friend. But she proved that both statements are false. The thing is, I hadn’t encountered her before. It’s really true that some types of people are rare, and only a few have the clear vision to s...
