GRATITUDE

by Jacob Prince

Life offers us an array of opportunities, each deserving our gratitude. Yet, with these opportunities come responsibilities — not just to our fellow beings, but to the very universe we call home. Every action, no matter how small, weaves into the fabric of our world. Though the rewards may not be immediate, our descendants will inherit the fruits of our labor. Let us embrace each opportunity with reverence, knowing that our actions today shape tomorrow's destiny.

Finding harmony between scientific inquiry and addressing pressing societal and environmental issues is paramount. Leaders must be attuned to the needs of their people, striking the right balance. The fusion of science, societal concerns, and insights from atheist scholars can pave the way for a brighter future. The role of politicians, dedicated to building a healthy society, is pivotal in fostering peace and progress.

Do not underestimate life; it's a singular chance. Leave the world richer than you found it. It's not wealth or status they yearn for, but a better world — a legacy for future generations. You hold the power to bestow this gift and impart the wisdom needed for a brighter tomorrow.

About the author

Writing has been my passion since childhood. As kids, while I wrote short stories, my younger brother Regimon created sketches to accompany them. Together, we crafted handwritten magazines and circulated them during our high school years, which in a short period, became very popular and the acceptance was hugely encouraging for us.

Within the family, we produced a handwritten daily newspaper, complete with our own brand name, imaginary advertisements, and news about home events. Our father was the President, and our mother was the Prime Minister.

Readers were plenty because ours was a large joint family, and everyone eagerly anticipated the daily newspaper each evening. Our elder brothers, Achenkunjachayan and Babuchayan, took the newspaper with pride to their workplaces, where their friends, who appreciated our creative efforts, were our first admirers outside the family.

Later, I sent my short stories and essays to various local media outlets, but they were often returned with regrets. Eventually, during my teenage years, a few of my works were accepted. However, that was also the time when my professional studies began, causing my writing skills to take a backseat. Now, as I near my retirement from a busy professional life, I am attempting to polish my innate skills and present to the world the stories I have long wanted to tell, beginning with my own turbulent and eventful experiences.

Life has unfurled as a reverie, wherein I am disposed to consign the bitter episodes to the recesses of memory's deep freezer, while I cherish the pleasant ones and press forward on the journey, resolved to relish the dream.
