Winter

The snow is always white and no amount of black and dark hues of the mind or physical characteristics can make it change colour. It is like a steadfast adherence of the incorrigible fanatic who takes up a cause and devotes himself to it whole-heartedly and totally.Of course there is no dearth of similar phenomena in other spheres of life where one can notice similar doggedness of purpose and non-existence of any possibility of alteration . Can one get any lesson from such a fact of life? Maybe it shows that though change is an inalienable law of nature yet the quintessence of adherence to basic and fundamental values is non-negotiable. Human dignity is and should rightly be included in the august list of such basics. If that does not happen, civilization would be in danger. Morality,spirituality and humanity itself would lose meaning if dignity is denied to people, and indeed the entire turbulence in the world on grounds of regions, religions, ideologies, and similar divisive thought processes is essentially a result of such denial. It is high time that all right-thinking people get together and renew and rejuvenate their faith and attempts to bind people across the globe in brotherhoood with commitment to human values.
