We are almost at the end of this series, this is the second last blog of this series/Flavour 8 

The Eighth Flavour of Life is "GENTLENESS"

Gentleness is more similar to kindness, but there is some difference between kindness and gentleness. 

To make it clearer, if someone gives you a babby to hold how you will hold kindly or gently? of course, gently know, it is quite difficult to differentiate it both but it different. 
Gentleness is related to the behaviour of a particular situation, how we react. 

A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Gentleness is acting in a manner that is gentle and mild even-tempered.  
we often hear this word "gentleman". It is an honourable way of referring to a man. It means the man who behaves gently or mildly in any situation not forcefully or roughly. 

The flavour 8 of flavours of life gentleness gives an understanding of handling situations.
The acting with gentleness is an act of rebellion. -ANDY MORT
Our personality skill was identified by how we act in a difficult situation. That decides that we can handle the situation or not. 

If we have a strength we can able to do anything but we need gentleness to do difficult things correctly. Some situation may be a trap for us, if we fail to handle the situation with gentleness we may have a chance to get stuck into it. In such a situation we have to handle it gently.

Handling situation with gentleness is not responding immediately. Gentleness gives us the knowledge to handle the situations so that the solution will be a permanent solution. 
Nothing is stronger as gentleness, and nothing is so gentle as true strength - Ralph Sockman
Let your gentleness be evident to all. -Bible

Now we are in the 6th blog if this series Flavour 5 The Fifth Flavour Of Life Is "KINDNESS" Dear friends, we are living in a world where different kinds of people around us, we are not living a monastic life to exclude us from this world. Our culture and circumstances allow us to live in harmony with others. This flavour 5 plays a major role in bringing harmony among us. What is kindness? Kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Why is Kindness important?  We have some bonding with each and every one of us. We are sharing our thoughts, we are sharing our belongings. Kindness plays a role in the way we are communicating with others. Communication without kindness may not be proper communication. It will be just information. Hence if we want to communicate properly we have to communicate with kindness.  “ Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end .” ...

Flavour 4 (Flavours of Life )

By Daniel Justine
We almost reached the centre point of our blog series, this is the 5th blog and 4th flavour in this Flavours of life.  The Forth Flavour Of Life Is  "PATIENCE" The motto of these flavours of life series is to create awareness about essential life characters and makes us realize the importance of practising it. As I mentioned before all these life characters are interlinked. It is difficult to practice one single flavour to implement in our life. Today's flavour of 'Patience' is mostly connected with  yesterday's flavour . If we started understanding the peace in us then it is easy to practice this patience, it is also another flavour of life which we need to discuss separately.  “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” Aristotle     DEFINITION: Patience is t he capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious.
