Like the Moon

 Still I rise

When the pain to stay same is greater 

than the pain of change

I have lost many battles in my life

I have not failed I just found a thousand ways that won't work

and that day came when the risk to remain 

tight in the bud 

was more painful 

than the risk it took to blossom

Like the moon 

We need to go through the phases of emptiness

to become whole again

Life keeps us leading on the paths we never thought

we would walk

Situations change us

It's bizzare how we outgrow something

which we once thought was difficult to survive without

And fall in love 

with what we don't even knew we wanted

There is no sense in impressing a person for short-term

and loosing your purpose in long term.

Figure of speech

 A figure of speech is a word or phrase which is used to create a effect in a non-literal way. This effect may be rhetorical*( art of speaking or writing effectively).

This downplaying of reaction is a surprise for the reader and generally has the effect of showing irony.  example : Joe got his dream job, that's not too bad.                  I heard she has cancer, but it's not a big deal.                 That condemned house just needs a coat of pai

Invention of School

Who invented school? Horace Mann  invented school and what is today the United States' modern school system. He is an American educational reformer, Slavery abolitionist and a Whig politician. He is known for his commitment of promoting public education. No one did more than he to establish in the minds of the American people the conception that education should be universal, non-sectarian, free, and that its aims should be social efficiency,  civic virtue , and character, rather than mere learning or the advancement of sectarian ends In 1838, he founded and edited  The Common School Journal . In this journal, Mann targeted the public school and its problems. His six main principles were: 1 the public should no longer remain ignorant; 2 that such education should be paid for, controlled, and sustained by an interested public; 3 that this education will be best provided in schools that embrace children from a variety of backgrounds; 4 that this education must be  non-sectarian ; 5 t

freedom for fear is more important than legal justice for the poor

ग़रीबों के लिए कानूनी न्याय से ज़्यादा ज़रूरी है डर की आज़ादी गांधी जी के अनुसार भय से मुक्ति आत्मनिर्भर बनने की पहली सीढ़ी है। हालांकि, यह दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है कि आजादी के दशकों बाद भी देश के गरीब भय से मुक्त नहीं हैं। उनके कार्य, कार्य आदि अभी भी दबाव में हैं, वे नौकरशाही व्यवस्था की दया के अधीन हैं। अगर दलित किसानों को डर से मुक्त किया जा सकता है तो बाकी सब कुछ ठीक हो जाएगा| freedom for fear is more important than legal justice for the poor According to Gandhi ji, freedom from fear is the first step to become self-reliant. However, it is unfortunate that the poor of the country are not free from fear, even decades after the independence. Their actions, work, etc. are still under pressure, they are under the mercy of the bureaucratic system. If the downtrodden farmers could be released from fear the rest everything would be fixed.
