Flavour 1 (Flavours of Life)

By Daniel Justine

As we mentioned in the Previous Blog here we are going to discuss a very common but important topic which is very essential in our lives.

Here is a question for you...

  • What is the last thing you seriously argued with someone?
  • Who is the last person you rejected for some reason?
  • Do you think you acted in a way that hurt anyone?

A small description of today's topic 
A word used by many, but understood by few.

The first Flavour of Life is "Love" 


Love is related to our likeness, our emotions, our feelings, our actions. The simple act of Love is smiling. If we fail to smile when we look at someone,  there comes something to stop showing your love to them.
Every good thing comes out of love.
When we talk about love, we know that there are eight different kinds of love, which has its own limitations of action. Ultimate of all kinds of love is Unconditional Love, 

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Unconditional love begins with a simple act of expressing your concern to people who ask you for a need. Humanity doesn't exist without this unconditional Love. Unconditional Love is a beautiful blossom with wonderful fragrance but do you know that same love spoils the beauty and its fragrance. Yes, it is called Self Love. 

SELF-LOVE 

Self-love is love on oneself. Self-love is not actually a bad thing in fact it helps us in many ways to grow. But many of the times this Self Love creates a problem with others. So that Jesus's one of the famous quotes says "Love your neighbours as you love yourself" which means we have to love others as we love ourselves.

Self-love vs Unconditional love 

Here are some applications to understand the difference between Unconditional love and Self Love.


  • ACCEPTING NOT REJECTING: Accepting the people as they are they may be different from our likeness different from our lifestyle or different from anything like ideas, colour, a character so on, but the unconditional love accepts the people but self-love gives an importance to their ideology. There is no perfect ideology at all, everything has its own positive and its negative. So let's try to understand and accept others.  


  • UNDERSTANDING NOT ARGUING: If somebody is lagging in something or not satisfying the expectation, their unconditional love tries to understand their situation but the self-love argues. 

  • ENCOURAGING NOT INSULTING: Unconditional love always encourages even in failure which gives great support. But self-love makes fun for their own happiness.  

  • CONCERN NOT CARELESSNESS: Unconditional love always has a concern about sufferings. When we talk about suffering it is not only about sufferings of human beings but also with all living and non-living creations. But self-love will not think about the people who are suffering, self-love will not think about the ecological crisis and other social issues.

  • GIVING NOT TAKING: Unconditional love always gives more. i.e Helping others without any expectation. but self-love takes more than it gives. 

LOVE is the best flavour of our life.

The Greatest of all kinds of love is Unconditional Love. Loving Unconditionally is a great thing at the same time it is not possible in a single day. Let's try to practice unconditional love. Unconditional love can only make an impact, Humanity still exists because of unconditional love.

Let's LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS WE LOVE OURSELVES.

Falavour 8 (Flavours of Life)

By Daniel Justine
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 ac...

By Daniel Justine
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.

Every act creates a ripple with no logical end .” ...

Flavour 7 (Flavours of Life)

By Daniel Justine
Blog 8/ Flavour 7 The Seventh Flavour of Life is "Faithfulness" We all are living in a dependent world, for example. Organisms cannot survive in the world without the Sun. We all live a life of dependence on one another. When we depend on one another, it creates an agreement between both. The agreement is based on faithfulness; if we are not faithful to the agreement then it creates a problem. Therefore Faithfulness is very important when we are dependent on one another.  Faithfulness  is the quality of being faithful. Faithful is  remaining loyal and steadfast. Being faithful is personal discipline.  Faithful in our relationships : We all have a relationship; it may be any kind of relationship like a friend, colleague, spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend, family. All relationships have their own bonding with it. Every relation has its own limitations, we should be faithful in our relationship with others.  “Faithful...
