Confusion

"Speak, and let others speak as well." Credits: Jot It Down By Aina What causes interference among a bunch of dysfunctional bickering lunatics? Confusion. Were they to listen to each other, there wouldn't be a question.  It is this irking human trait that they simply do not listen. The emphasis is not to hear the other one, but it is to perceive and hark what they say.  A conversation comprises a speaker and a listener. Communication is the name given to the exchange of ideas from one person to another.  The havoc caused by an ordinary uncertainty is an amusing sight. A hint of skepticism, and voila, you have a priceless exhibition. Just the very thought of being the right one, which is applied in all senses, is so compelling to one's ego that it consumes every sensible and ethical approach to a situation.  Confusion gives roots to such grave misconceptions that it becomes useless to accept the certainty of the notion because of the effect that the undistinguished lac

Uyghur Muslims are suffering

If you do not speak against oppression, you are a part of it.  Credits: Jot It Down By Aina Never Again is happening again, and no one is talking about it. Muslims of Uyghur are being subjected to genocide. It is the largest captivity of an ethnoreligious community since the Holocaust.  Before the denigration of my article,  read the Ink Stone's publication about what Chinese government officials have to say about it in the State Council.  To put it politely, Muslims of Uyghur are 'trapped' in concentration camps. They are exposed to all forms of brainwashing and torture. One of the few Uyghur Muslims, Qelbinur Sidik narrates to having witness firsthand violence and brutality on the other side of the so-called 'transformation through re-education' camps . Muslim women, even men are subjected to sexual abuse, including rape and molestation. Should they attempt to protect themselves from humiliation, they would be further reported. In camps, they are forced to go aga

Circling back to the beginning.

She started feeling dizzy, with the overwhelming feeling that the universe had changed course over the last hour. Picture credit: @heatherz on Unsplash. Alana was sitting on the bleak seats of the London Underground, with three other grim-looking people in the same compartment. It was 08 17, and Alana had to reach her office at 08 45 to be exact, and she was already yearning to take the train back home. Today the ride to her office was still, though not a very loud person she liked the chitter-chatter and veiled bickering of random people while traveling to work in the mornings. Observing the tranquil environment around her, she glanced at her black strap watch and noticed that it was 08 30 now, and the train was about to stop at the next station in five minutes, from where she had to walk to her workplace. She assembled all her belongings which she had spread on the seat next to her and attempted to stand up when her heel slipped, and watch hit the pole. She was flustered, and her fac

 “You transformed into her. Who knew you would do our mother better than even herself.” Credits: @/ainasx  (me) on Wattpad. Blythe was the ideal person to be friends with. She was the most selfless person one could know; with her vivacious personality, she could befriend almost anyone she wanted to. Blythe was known for her undeniably likely character and her nature to be there for anyone that was in dire need. She had deep-set eyes of the color hazel, and a tint of pink always seemed to make its way up her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. Her face was the brightest at any time of the day and miraculously glowed at night. She was currently going to Columbia University majoring in Psychology and residing at the dorms at her university. She was in the last year of her bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Columbia University, at the age of 22. She had a big friend group at the Broadway Hall and was very interactive with other students in her classes. Every girl at the dorms would greet

Adversity and loss make a man wise.

Adversity and loss are the challenges that life brings to us, it is the response of human beings how they handle themselves in such situations. Picture credits: @/kilarov345 on Unsplash The precise qualities of the head, heart and hand can be acquired only through struggle in loss and adversity. In times of difficulty, we gain wisdom more swiftly than in prosperous times. In adverse conditions, one can either flee or face up to the problems and deal with them and, the sagacity comes from the experience, observation, trial, error and the counseling of others. Adversity and loss bring out all the qualities in a man; qualities like patience, self-reliance and humbleness, prove to be a much better school than success and prosperity. Success and ease make a man futile. C an a fighter enjoy the victory if the opponent is weak and broken? He falls prey to comfort and does not fight for real happiness. Loss and adversity not only make a man reach the pinnacles of his glory but also bring him
