Stop It! - Reveda Bhatt

Do you know what the most vulnerable thing in this world is?

Well, that's trust.

Something we should have loyalty towards-but what most of us end up breaking!

Trust the root of all trouble and hurt, the fruit of all trust.

Look, that doesn't mean Stop Trusting but follow your gut because this energy within us knows of everything. 

It knows what's wrong-well; technically, there's nothing right or wrong, but in the way of saying, we just know.

Then, the question arises, "Why is "wrong" being done by people then?"

Well, that's because we do not nurture that energy in the way of guiding us and just go by simple means to suppress it. Ideally, trust should never be broken because one should see the feeling behind it: love and attachment. Once one knows that, their gut instinct should get in the way of breaking one's trust.

Right?

Yeah, but open your eyes to the world of reality! Snap out of this logic because that's not what happens here!

Keeping aside feeling like "obstacles pulling us back," people look for gain everywhere, and then, what's better than gaining out of the vulnerable person close to us!?

That's how every person on this planet finds a way to survive here! Some hurt to get better, while some get broken to become worse mentally and emotionally!

Alright, alright.

But then, what's a way to avoid this?

Stop trusting others and start trusting yourself-

give way to your instinct,

that will show you-

what's light even when there's dark,

what's right even when it is wrong,

what's life even when there's hurt,

what's trust even when there's rust in everyone's heart!

AND THEN, BE STRONG because who knows what's to come?

Reflection on the topic Peer Pressure - Tenzin Jambey

In the Oxford dictionary, the word "peer " means people of the same age as you, and "pressure" means forcing someone to do certain things or activities.

It feels fun to do things with our friends; we play, study, and spend time with our friends in school and without friends, life would be pretty dull. When we make friends at first, we never know who is nasty or good; only after spending some time do we learn about our friend's personalities and mentality. A good friend will always think and wish for good welfare, but a lousy friend will try to pull you in the wrong direction. Bad friends often put pressure on you to do the activities which they do. 

If I had to tell you how to overcome peer pressure, then I would say we should break our bond with the wrong people or bad friends as we know a bad person always puts pressure on you and will always emphasise on wrong things, but we should first try to change them and if they don't change then we must simply end our bond with them. A good friend would never pressure you and always teach you productive things.

What is peer pressure and how can we deal with it? - Tenzin Nyesel

Generally, everyone has a circle of peers with whom they are comfortable talking and sharing things. But sometimes the circle you are in might not have the people with whom you are meant.

Sometimes, the people in our circle pressure us to do the work they demand, which might need to be corrected. When our peers give orders instead of advice, it leads us on the wrong path and makes us do bad things; that’s when we go through peer pressure. 

Peer pressure affects us not only physically but also mentally. Due to this, many people of young age get spoiled physically and mentally. They lose their concentration power. It decreases self-confidence and self-worth. Also, distances us from our family members and friends.
