PEACE ON EARTH


'Peace on earth' was the wish the Shepherds had from the angels. There are many people in the world, for whom peace is quite strange. Many people in today's world seek peace in the family, in the society and in the country. Unfortunately, none of those can find peace anywhere. There are many countries in the world where internal disputes flare up frequently or facing external threats continuously.

What is peace? When opened the dictionary, we may find the meaning like, freedom from disturbance, state of tranquility etc. Whatever it may be, peace is not something given to us by others. It is that we get when we  give something to others. When we feed a hungry one, the satisfaction and happiness on that face fetch us is peace. Peace is the final one of three states of mind. The first is contentment. The second is happiness. And the third is peace. It is like this. When we find good crops from our cultivation we get contentment. When we eat those with our family members we get happiness. And when we share those with our neighbours we get peace. We get this peace when we give new dress to the needy one and when console a sick one and also when we greet a prisoner with smiling face.

In our remaining life let us have as much peace by giving what others need.

May this Christmas bring us Peace in abundance! Let every home in this world be filled with Peace from the Prince of Peace!!!

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
