What do we want?

Human beings need many things to survive and thrive. Some of the most basic needs include:

Food and water: Humans need to eat and drink regularly to survive.
Shelter: Humans need a safe place to live and sleep.
Clothing: Humans need clothing to protect themselves from the elements and to maintain their body temperature.
Sleep: Humans need to sleep regularly to rest and repair their bodies and minds.
Healthcare: Humans need access to healthcare to maintain their health and prevent and treat illness.

In addition to these basic needs, humans also have a number of social and emotional needs, including:

Love and belonging: Humans need to feel loved and accepted by others. We need to feel like we belong to a family, community, or other social group.
Safety and security: Humans need to feel safe and secure in their environment. This includes feeling physically safe and having a sense of emotional security.
Purpose and meaning: Humans need to feel like their lives have meaning and that they are making a difference in the world. We need to feel like our work is important and that we are contributing to something larger than ourselves.
Personal growth and development: Humans are always striving to learn and grow. We want to improve ourselves and become the best versions of ourselves that we can be.

These are just some of the things that human beings need. Our needs vary depending on our individual circumstances, but we all share the basic need to survive and thrive. When our needs are met, we are better able to reach our full potential and live happy and fulfilling lives. It is important to create a society where all human beings have the opportunity to meet their needs and live their lives to the fullest. This includes providing access to basic necessities, an environment where people feel safe and secure, and have the opportunity to pursue their goals and dreams.

Each individual has a role to make it possible. Social values and morals are the principles and beliefs that guide our behavior in society. They help us to distinguish between right and wrong, and to make decisions that are in the best interests of ourselves and others. Our individual responsibility to social values and morals is important because it helps to create a more harmonious and respectful world.

Here are some specific ways an individual can fulfill their responsibility to social values and morals:

Be honest and truthful in your dealings with others. This means being honest in your words and actions, and avoiding deception and manipulation.
Be respectful of others, even if you disagree with them. This means listening to others with an open mind, and valuing their opinions and experiences.
Be fair and just in your treatment of others. This means avoiding discrimination and prejudice, and treating everyone with dignity and respect.
Be compassionate and empathetic towards others. This means trying to understand the feelings and experiences of others, and being willing to help those in need.
Be responsible and accountable for your actions. This means taking ownership of your choices and accepting the consequences of your actions.

Ultimately, what humans want is to live a happy and fulfilling lives. We want to feel safe and loved, and we want to have a sense of purpose and meaning. We want to learn, grow, and make a difference in the world. It is possible only if each individual take responsibility to achieve it for self.

Influencers

Influencers are people who build a large or highly engaged audience. They can attract their attention and influence their behavior. They are central to modern social media culture and marketing strategies. An influencer is someone who affects the opinions or behavior of followers. Their power does not come from formal expertise but more from perceived authenticity, relatability, and ongoing interaction with a community that trusts them.

Mega‑influencers are used for massive reach and visibility. Influencer marketing uses endorsements, reviews, and product placements in influencer content to drive awareness and sales. The influencer is taking advantage of the trust followers place in them. Because many consumers see influencers as more relatable than traditional celebrities, their recommendations can feel like advice from a friend, w...

Effects of Colonization in India

Some people still have the illusion that the British Raj was not all that bad. But in reality is that the British Colonial rule as against the interests of the common people of the Indian sub-continent and it destroyed the education system, economy, ancient monuments and livelihood of the people. One can trace the education system in India to third century B.C. Ancient days, the sages and scholars imparted education orally. After the development of letters it took the form of writing. Palm leaves and bark of trees were used for education. Temples and community centers often took the role of schools. When Buddhism spread in India , education became available to everyone and this led to the establishment of some world famous educational institutions Nalanda, Vikramshila and Takshashila. These educational institutes in fact arose from the monasteries. History has taken special care to give Nalanda University , which flourished from the fifth to 13th century AD, full credit for its e...

Optionality

Optionality is the state of having several attractive options available and the freedom to choose among them if needed. When the future is hard to predict, optionality lets you wait for more information and choose whichever path turns out to be best, rather than betting everything on one forecast. Good optionality structures your situation so that losses in some situations are limited, while the upside in the few that succeed can be huge. Stability is about having steady conditions of reliable income, routines, relationships, or systems that do not change abruptly. It trades some flexibility for reduced stress and risk, making planning easier but sometimes limiting new opportunities. Stability prioritizes security and predictability while optionality prioritizes flexibility and future choices. Both are valuable. Emphasizing one over the other depends on your risk tolerance and situation. Optionality is about having many possible paths open and avoiding irreversible commitments whe...

Rules of Trust

Rules of trust are the basic principles people usually follow to decide whether to rely on someone. People trust those who are honest, competent, consistent, and who care about their interests. In close relationships, trust grows when words and actions align and when both sides communicate openly and respectfully. Honesty is one of the core rules of trust because people cannot rely on someone whose words do not align with reality. Tell the truth rather than lie, exaggerate, or hide key facts, especially when others are making decisions based on what you say. Avoid excuses or half‑truths. Convenient lies damage trust once discovered. Do what you say. Following through on commitments shows integrity and makes others see you as dependable. Admit mistakes. Openly taking responsibility is often the first step in repairing trust. Reliability in trust means being someone others can count on, repeatedly, not just once. It is about matching words and actions so people feel safe depending on ...

The Gift of Suffering

Suffering is an uninvited guest that arrives at our doorstep, often without warning, and demands to be let in. It’s uncomfortable and painful, but can be a profound gift. Suffering is not just an obstacle to endure but a transformative force that shapes who we are and who we can become. The Universal Language of Suffering Suffering is universal, crossing cultures, eras, and circumstances. Suffering speaks a language we all understand. It can be viewed as a curse, something to escape or minimize. But suffering is an inevitable part of life, and it can be a gift. Ancient philosophies and spiritual traditions have long grappled with this notion. The Stoics saw adversity as a training ground for virtue, a chance to practice courage, patience, and wisdom. Buddhism teaches that suffering (dukkha) is intrinsic to life but also a pathway to enlightenment when approached with mindfulness. In modern psychology, concepts like post-traumatic growth highlight how people can emerge from har...

Rules Of Power

The rules of power refer to a set of strategic principles designed to help individuals gain, maintain, and defend influence in social, professional, and organizational settings. In a world where power dynamics shape everything, understanding the rules of influence is essential. Robert Greene’s book titled ‘The 48 Laws of Power’ is a comprehensive guide to understanding and mastering power dynamics in life, business, and relationships. Greene presents power not as a moral virtue but as a neutral force. You can harness it, ignore it, or pretend it doesn’t exist while others use it against you. The laws cover a wide range of strategies, from how to interact with superiors and peers to how to manipulate situations and people to your advantage. The book emphasizes that power is not just about force or authority, but about perception, influence, and the ability to control situations and relationships. The laws are not meant to be followed blindly, but rather as tools for understanding th...

The Enneagram

The Enneagram is a personality framework that identifies nine core personality types, each with its worldview, patterns of thinking, emotional drivers, and habitual behaviors. Unlike many personality systems that focus solely on traits, the Enneagram offers a map to the deeper motivations, fears, and desires that shape how we think, feel, and behave. It reveals patterns of conditioning you’ve picked up over a lifetime and offers a pathway toward greater freedom and authenticity. The Nine Enneagram Types The Reformer (Type One) – Principled, purposeful, and self-controlled, with a deep drive for improvement and integrity. The Helper (Type Two) – Caring, empathetic, and generous, often motivated by a desire to be needed and appreciated. The Achiever (Type Three) – Success-oriented, adaptable, and image-conscious, thriving on accomplishment and recognition. The Individualist (Type Four) – Sensitive, expressive, and introspective, driven by a search for authenticity and identity....

Golden Mean

The golden mean is the idea that the best or most virtuous course lies between two extremes, one of excess and one of deficiency. It is associated with Aristotle’s ethics but also appears in other philosophical traditions. Aristotle’s golden mean is his idea that every moral virtue is a balanced state between two opposite vices: one of excess and one of deficiency. It is a practical guide for living well rather than a mathematical midpoint. Each virtue targets a ‘just right’ way of feeling and acting. Courage The virtue of courage is the mean between excessive fearlessness and excessive fear. A courageous person faces real dangers for good reasons but does not seek danger for its own sake. Temperance Temperance in pleasures lies between self‑indulgence and extreme abstinence. The temperate person enjoys pleasures in the right amount, at the right times, and for the right reasons, rather than either overindulging or denying all enjoyment. Generosity In everyday giving and sp...

Rise of Indian Nationalism

In India , the decades after the First War for Independence (1857) were a period of growing political awareness, manifestation of public opinion, and emergence of leadership at national and provincial levels. Gloomy economic uncertainties created by British colonial rule and the limited opportunities that awaited for the increasing number of western-educated graduates began to dominate the rhetoric of leaders who had begun to think of themselves as a nation despite differences along the lines of region, religion, language, and caste. Dadabhai Naoroji formed East India Association in 1867, and Surendranath Banerjee founded Indian National Association in 1876. Indian National Congress is formed in 1885 in a meeting in Bombay attended by seventy-three Indian delegates. The delegates were mostly members of the upwardly mobile and successful Western-educated provincial elites, engaged in professions such as law, teaching, and journalism. They had acquired political experience from regio...
