This is not place but I be quick , coz I really wanted to share this:

 

 

When my grandmom died,after a day of her cremation we took her ashes to "haridwar" for rituals as per our customs. There is place "kankhal" where ashes are to be flown in river after priest  do his things like reading holy words or whatever he do.   

   We were sitting around priest by river with pot of ashes , he told us all to close eyes and repeat holy words after him. While we follow his said and started re-iterating words , this guy took ashes out and were searching for gold . haaaaaaaaaaa! so pathetic.

Priest had to perform rituals and do prayers. He told us to pray , and in prayer we have to repeat words said by him .. you know with "namaste" form and eyes close imagining god. Mostly people are sentimentally  emotional so they just blindly follow what priest tell them to do . and these things are just merely business for them and yes opportunity too  , he was searching for gold which get stick to ashes after cooling down. I'm pretty sure the guys working at cremation place do same.

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid. But he who conquers that fear.

Forgiveness is the virtue of Brave. – Indra Gandhi

If you had a chance to change your fate, would you?

It’s better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life.

Bravery- Bravery is rewarded stupidity.

Courage is being afraid and saddling up anyway.

Be yourself. That is something you can do better than anyone else. Listen to that inner voice and bravery follow it.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option you have left.

Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage and something great will come of it.

Bravely- The courage of life is often a less dramatics spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. – John F. Kennedy

The only animal capable of giving man a fair fight is man. Actually, among ourselves, we fight unfairest of all, and the more we practice, the nastier we get.

[bo0m]

 

The history of man is simply the history of slavery, of injustice and brutality, together with the means by which he has, through the dead and desolate years, slowly and painfully advanced. He has been the sport and prey of priest and king, the food of superstition and cruel might. Crowned force has governed ignorance through fear. Hypocrisy and tyranny—two vultures—have fed upon the liberties of man. From all these there has been, and is, but one means of escape—intellectual development. Upon the back of industry has been the whip. Upon the brain have been the fetters of superstition. Nothing has been left undone by the enemies of freedom. Every art and artifice, every cruelty and outrage has been practiced and perpetrated to destroy the rights of man. In this great struggle every crime has been rewarded and every virtue has been punished. Reading, writing, thinking and investigating have all been crimes.

 

Every science has been an outcast.

 

All the altars and all the thrones united to arrest the forward march of the human race. The king said that mankind must not work for themselves. The priest said that mankind must not think for themselves. One forged chains for the hands, the other for the soul. Under this infamous regime the eagle of the human intellect was for ages a slimy serpent of hypocrisy.

 

The human race was imprisoned. Through some of the prison bars came a few struggling rays of light. Against these bars Science pressed its pale and thoughtful face, wooed by the holy dawn of human advancement. Bar after bar was broken away. A few grand men escaped and devoted their lives to the liberation of their fellows.
