Kindness
“We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already” (J.K. Rowling). But what is this power that we humans are said to possess, strong enough to change the world? Surely, the physical strength of one individual cannot make much difference in a world of seven billion people. The influence of one brain, though, has the capacity to change the lives of millions, but the affect that a brilliant idea or an outstanding mind can have on the world can either be good or bad. Then what is it that we have that guarantees to bring out a change that would make the world a better place? It is but the power of our heart, of kindness, of modesty, of liberality, of helpfulness and, above all, of love.  Every human being inherently possesses these qualities, but we are too blinded by materialistic pursuits to find it in ourselves to create a better world, because “It is our choices that make us who we really are, far greater than our abilities” (Albus Dumbledore).
Kindness is twice consecrated. It blesses the one who gives it and the one who receives it. Being kind to the people around us does not mean we need to move out of the everyday business of life to make grand gestures and enormous contributions. That is where the beauty of kindness lies in, in the simplicity of it. A small act of sharing our food with a hungry person or holding the door for a stranger, or even planting and looking after a few trees is an act of compassion. “Even small acts of kindness can make a profound difference to somebody else” (Misha Collins), because somewhere down the line, someone benefits from a tiny deed of ours. Another quality of kindness is that it costs nothing. In today’s epoch of economically driven people, kindness is one of the few things that spread joy free of charge. We ought to do what we do because it’s right. Because it’s decent, and most of all, kind.
Giving away clothes to the homeless, looking after a sick and lonely neighbour, teaching the not-so-fortunate children or assisting in cleaning a public place are all worldly acts of kindness. But do we stop there? No, because kindness also has the ability to aid an ailing soul. “Dead people receive more flowers than the living ones, because regret is stronger than gratitude” (Anne Frank). Kindness is something to be bestowed upon the breathing and, primarily, those who live without love, because medicines can cure a broken body but it is the people around a wrecked soul that can help it heal. Lending an ear to someone who is heartbroken and needs to let it all out, expressing gratefulness to someone whose job somehow makes your life easier, holding a friend when they cry or simply providing peaceful silence  to a mourning stranger could deeply change the hearts of the recipients of  our kindness. We do not do this to achieve affection or appraisal; we simply do it in the hope that one day these people will repay our kindness to someone else in need, because whoever is happy will make others happy. Kindness is needed, one to another. We do not know other people’s struggles, the brave faces they are putting on despite their problems, the mountains they are climbing, against the odds. Every time we cause hurt, especially by means of our brilliant ability to communicate in harsh words, it gets passed on to others as a chain of pain. “We must all face the choice of what is right and what is easy” (Albus Dumbledore). Being kind does not make us weak. “One should never mistake kindness for weakness, for it is in the moments that we apply kindness that our strength is revealed” (The Doctor).
The question now arises, is it only our fellow humans we need to be kind to? What about all the other living creatures of this planet? The million species of animals and plants? Well, we simply do not end it with humans. Our activities of the past as well as the present have spoilt the natural world to such a degree that it will not be incorrect to say that the Earth is dying. In times like these, it is not only necessary to be kind to the people around us, but also to the flora and the fauna. “We do not own the planet Earth, we belong to it. And we must share it with our wildlife” (Steve Irwin). Being kind to humans can be a choice, but to the environment it is no less than a responsibility, because that is what keeps our existence going. Ensuring the well being of all animals, birds and fishes, bringing back the forest cover and, in short, conserving the nature is a duty, but a type of benevolence nonetheless, because it is only the pure of heart that understand the plight of those who cannot speak for themselves.
Before all is done, before we have been through with everything in our power to improve the world around us, we need to look to ourselves. We need to be kind to ourselves first, so that we could be happy enough to be kind to the world. Kindness comes from within a content and calm soul. It springs up from a heart that is at peace. What is the need to scorn or degrade our own self for what others state? What is the point of doubting our abilities, when we only either win, or learn? How will we spread hope like wildfire when we let the flame inside us flicker and die? “What you have to offer to the world is yourself, so do not lose it. Focus on it and try to bring it out” (Jared Padalecki). We are all humans doing our best. No one is better than anybody else. We are just here. We all have our struggles and our strengths. So do not be harsh to yourself, because happiness is contagious, it spreads rapidly.
But despite everything, one individual can only do so much on their own. It would take them a thousand years alone to change the world through their kindness. What do we do, then? The answer is building a kinder community, a more generous society for all to live in. Anyone born on this planet should strive to leave the world a better place than the one they found it as. “I found it is the small deeds everyday of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay… Small acts of love and kindness” (J.R.R. Tolkien). The most efficacious way of making a difference is by example, and doing random acts of kindness is a very good example of how to behave in the world. Kindness and generosity are infectious qualities that when you carry them out, you often inspire others to do the same and that one act can actually have an exponential affect. “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world” (Anne Frank). The strongest power we humans hold is faith, it is said to have the power to move mountains. A little faith in kindness is all we need to build a better world. In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit.
In conclusion, I would like to propose a question to my reader: Why is that kindness is not believed to be a part of being human? Like having flesh and bone? Something that comes to us involuntarily?
We are all stories in the end; let’s just make it a good one.

Yom Kippur ‘19
The day of atonement. How I want to right my wrongs. I am trying to think of all those I caused pain and suffering--with review, I know I never harmed someone intentionally this year.  I am trying to see if I said or did something that would inflict any sort of hurt or ill will on another, but I’m coming up empty handed.  If I did, or if I had, it has been unbeknownst to me.  I ask God to grant me the clarity to see if I have done such a thing to another.  Because hurting another--the idea of me doing so, at least--is a weird type of twanging pain. I am not fond of it in the least bit.
I know that my relationship with God, or with Spirit, or with the Divine, however you feel it is best titled and depicted, has not been the best.  I try to keep an open heart, and I try to be a channel of love.  But I know this is not always the case... I do get filled with rage; with annoyance; with pessimism; with fear; with distrust.  I mentally know that God is watching over me, that He/She takes care of me and is guiding me with his/her will and soul purpose in mind.  I am so appreciative of that on such a deep level.  Surface-wise though, the understanding of this tends to wind up short. I get stressed and lose my patience.  I enter fits of anxiety in nano-seconds to the point where examining myself and the levels where my worry escalates sometimes can be embarrassing.  I will have moments where I am engulfed in self-doubt or the doubt that I will come out on the other side of whatever the situation may be safe and okay.  I would like to apologize to Spirit for that.  I would like to apologize to myself for it as well.  I need to keep these simple, intrinsically known concepts in my conscience at all times.  I need to not let it dissolve, get succumbed by worldly events and circumstances.  
I have a tendency to feel guilt or feel like my time of goodness and prosperity is coming to a close, because I believe I do not deserve fortune or happiness--or, I am so used to tragedies unfolding continuously, that I sit and wait for the worst to hit in its grandiose, unexpected fashion.  I need to let this mentality disappear.  The lessons I need to learn, I will learn. They are coming my way no matter what.  I need to accept that change is inevitable, that what’s for me is for me, be it good or bad.  I think I typically roll with the punches okay, but it’s the expectancy of having to roll with them that renders me weak and scared like a shivering mouse.  God, I apologize for this.  I cannot express how disappointed I am with myself that it’s not easier for me to sit back and trust in your divine timing and your beauty.  I never thought I was a control freak but I am slowly discovering that I am, and very much so. I need to be in control of how events result.  I need to make sure I can predict how my emotions will stir and brim to the top way too far in advance.  I am not truly living in the present.  I am not putting my best foot forward at all times, and I am not using the gifts you’ve given me to manifest good for the world as much as I should. I need to take leaps of faith more, and I need to always go with my instinct and do what I feel is proper and correct.  I know my heart is good and my intentions are pure underneath it all.  After all, you are inside every single one of us.
I need to seek my forgiveness the most from God.  I know the world is ever-changing, and I need to be a beacon of light and goodness.  I so want to contribute to the Earth in a positive, healing way.  I know I have the ability to because that is ultimately what God wants the most; for us to operate from a source of love, and what source is greater than the source of God? I also apologize for my addictions... masturbation, sex and alcohol mostly.  I want to be better than these metaphoric paper-weights that are pinning me down.  I beg for your mercy, and I’m writing this to hopefully open the door of conversation between you and I.  I want to be more in-tune with you and your desires.  I want to be able to be level-headed enough to hear your instructions.  I don’t need my life to unravel a certain way.  As long as it is embedded with love I will be ever so grateful.  If I feel like there is something I need to do for my soul, then I will do it.  You created this world and I so want to explore your artistry and your work.  I am immensely full of gratitude for all the beauty you’ve put into my life: the people, the places, the love, the sadness, the teachings, the blessings, the coincidences, the inexplainable.  Please know I feel gratitude for the here and now, and will do everything I can and know how to ensure my soul is clean and untainted.  
Here I am, seeking atonement on this year’s Yom Kippur.  My heart is open and beaming with joy for this new year.  I thank you for giving me another chapter in the book of life, and I thank you for giving me the chance to learn and grow from my mistakes. amen amen amen! <3 
There are also a few things I would like to vow to be more conscious of and strive to be a good activist for
- The earth and the way we treat it.
-Those who are split from the boarders
-The classes of people and minorities who are regarded as less than
-Understanding plants and planting, and healing through herbs.
-Caring for animals and not endangering the species we have here today for human’s own selfish needs.
I love you. & I truly do believe that good will overcome.  Because your love always does.

Dear Colleagues!  This is Pharma Veterans Blog Post #232. Pharma Veterans shares the wealth of knowledge and wisdom of Veterans for the benefit of Pharma Community. Pharma Veterans Blog is published by Asrar Qureshi on WordPress, the top blog site. If you wish to share your stories, ideas and thoughts, please email to [email protected] for publishing your contributions here.
This is a special series of Blogs which describe my time and experiences during Hajj this year.
DAY 1 – 21 July 2019
Departure, Arrival, and First Umrah
PIA staff had repeatedly emphasized to reach airport six hours before flight time. My flight PK759 was scheduled to depart at 9.20am on July 21. I reached airport around 3.30am and it was eerily quiet. The security staff said that the airline staff usually comes 4.5 – 5 hours before the flight time. I went to the airport mosque and waited for Fajr prayer which was still about 45 minutes away.
Anyway, when I came back to the airport entrance at about 5.00am, a fairly long queue was already in process. I also joined its tail-end, and finally got into the airport hall. First check point is Customs and next is Anti Narcotic Force (ANF). Having passed through these, had to get the baggage plastic wrapped. The wrapping service was free of charge; you only had to get your passport number entered at a counter. Next was to get a sticker for the baggage which had the person’s information printed on it. This sticker was to be pasted on the baggage to be booked. Then came to check in counter and got boarding pass. Next is to pass through immigration counter and get the exit stamp on the passport. All done, we got into the departure lounge.
There was another step here. A counter was distributing a plastic wrist band which had a QR code with person’s information embedded in it. It is mandatory to wear this band at all times; being plastic, it does not get damaged by water. Please understand that this is for your safety and comfort. Along with passport and ticket, the Haji camp had also given a plastic card which had the picture of pilgrim, Maktab number, Building number in Makkah and Madinah. This card came with a string and instructions to wear at all times. I can assure you that if you follow these measures, you will never get lost, InShaAllah. If you don’t, you may end up in big trouble.
I had changed into Ihram before leaving home. Most people had come to airport in celebratory clothes and were happily loitering around in the departure lounge.
We still had about three hours to go before the flight. Meanwhile, an officer of Hajj Mission came in. He took up the microphone and started talking to the happy pilgrims. I don’t know his name, but the gentleman used to be on stage in both training programs.
His talk had two important points.
One. He requested the pilgrims to change into Ihram at the airport. While it is nice to change at the Meeqat, but the Meeqat comes about 45 minutes before landing at Jeddah. The plane has a few tiny toilets and it would be impossible that couple of hundred people could change into Ihram in the flight. After his repeated urging, people finally realized and started changing into Ihram. I would like to compliment him that he saved the crowd from a big chaos.
Two. He said that we shall be taken to Madinah Munawarah within 48 hours of our reaching Makkah Mukarramah. He said we were a lucky group as we would be able to perform another Umrah upon returning from Madinah Munawarah.
The scenario in the departure lounge changed quickly. People donning white Ihrams were looking beautiful.
The restrictions of Ihram start after reciting the ‘niyat’ of Ihram. Immediately after ‘niyat’, the pilgrims start reciting ‘Talbiah’; men loudly and women inaudibly.
“Labbaik, Allahumma Labbaik; Labbaik a La Shareek a Lak a Labbaik; Inn al Hamd a, Wan Nemat a Lak a Wal Mulk; La Shareek a Lak”
We flew dot on time from Lahore airport. When we reached Meeqat, it was announced, and everyone recited the Ihram niyat. Immediately after, the entire plane resonated with the sound of Talbiyah. The pilgrims recited loudly and in unison and it presented such a deep effect which touched the souls. Some pilgrims broke into tears while reciting and it enhanced the effect. It was truly a deeply affecting and inspiring time.
Lahore to Jeddah takes about five hours. We reached Jeddah airport on time. Immigration was done so fast I could not believe. In about thirty minutes, we were out. We collected our baggage and immediately handed to the service people who would carry it to our residence in Aziziya, Makkah Mukarramah. The way was paved with Pakistani Hajj Support staff who guided and facilitated at every step. Some youngsters from mobile companies were running with us. One of them did my biometry and gave me a Mobily SIM, free of charge.
I must say that the arrangements were very efficient and organized; better than what I expected. Prayers for all those who worked hard to facilitate the pilgrims.
Thanks to comfortable handling, we were fresh when we reached our residence in Aziziya. We were ready to perform Umrah.
Our residence in Aziziya was about 8 km from Haram Shareef. We were told that the transport shall be available 24 hours to take us to Haram Shareef.
After settling a little in the rooms, everyone prepared to go to Haram Shareef in order to perform Umrah of ‘Hajj e Tamattau’.
Hajj, as you know, may be performed in three ways.
One is Hajj e Ifrad; literally meaning ‘single/individual’.  Only Hajj is performed; there is no Umrah and no sacrifice. Hajj e Ifrad is usually performed by local expats.
The second is Hajj e Tamattau, literally meaning ‘getting benefit’. Umrah is performed before Hajj, and the sacrifice is mandatory. The pilgrims reach Makkah in Ihram, perform Umrah and then come out of Ihram. They again wear Ihram for Hajj and then perform all Manasiks, offer sacrifice, shave heads and relieve themselves from Ihram. This is the common type of Hajj performed by pilgrims coming from other countries.
The third is Hajj e Qiran, literally meaning ‘joining/combining’. Pilgrims wear Ihram, perform Umrah, but continue to be in Ihram. They perform Hajj in the same continuity and then finally get out of Ihram after Hajj, sacrifice and head shaving. Hajj e Qiran is usually opted for by people living nearby.
Pilgrims from Pakistan are slated for Hajj e Tamattau. And so, we got ready to go to Haram Shareef for performing Umrah.
As mentioned earlier, the transport arrangement to Haram Shareef and back was available 24 hours and was excellent. And it was free of charge.
After a little while, I also got ready to go to Haram Shareef. We were five people staying in the room. All came from Lahore. Two of them had come for the first time. They asked me to perform Umrah together. I said, of course, it would be my utmost pleasure. We shall go together InShaAllah.
A little before Isha prayer, we reached Haram Shareef; and prayed Isha. Then we started Tawaf. Although there was a sizeable crowd, but we were able to perform Tawaf within Mataf. Prayed two Raka’at  Wajib-ul-Tawaf.
We then moved to Safa to start Sae’e. Completed seven rounds between Safa and Marwa.
By midnight, we had completed Umrah. We came out of Haram, got haircut and went back to our building.
All Praise be to Allah. No amount of gratitude is befitting for His Kindness and Benevolence. In a span of only one day, we started from Lahore, reached Jeddah, reached Makkah Mukarramah, and also performed Umrah. What more could we desire? What better could we aspire for? Allah’s Blessings are beyond measure and beyond our humanly limited imagination and desires.
Call it Baitullah Shareef, or Haram Shareef, or Ka’aba tul Musharrafah; it is unique. Nor is there anything equivalent to it. It is one, and the only one. The feeling you get here is hard to express adequately and fully; it is to be seen and felt. If you have had the blessing to be here, you would understand what I am trying to say and cannot. If you have not, I earnestly pray that Allah brings you here. Aameen.
You can never see enough of Baitullah Shareef; neither will you ever tire of being here. Tawaf is an extremely enriching, submitting and deep experience. If you are doing Tawaf with feeling, you will never like to stop. Allah is all-knowing and probably for this reason, Allah has ordained seven rounds for Tawaf. If the number was not fixed, many people would probably lose their lives doing unending Tawaf. There is no doubt that you fall in love here; with the Baitullah Shareef and the Tawaf.

Appreciation Quotes On About Success, Life and Love
Looking for uplifting appreciation quotes?
Too often, we do not take the time to stop and appreciate things, big and small. We only think about the huge things that happen as things to acknowledge and be grateful for, but forget that there are little blessings that come into our lives every day that should not be overlooked.
If we learn to see the beauty, the gratefulness, and the appreciation in the big and small, we learn to live a life of gratitude, and we learn the lesson that we have a great deal to be thankful for.
Here are some thoughts that might help you connect with your deep-seeded appreciation.

  Appreciation quotes for the people you love
