disable puppy and the child - Think about this!!!

 

 
Once a farmer wanted to sell four puppies. So he advertised this on his fence. When he was about to finish that work, he understood that someone was pulling his trousers. He turned around to see a little boy.
" uncle, I want to buy a puppy. ", said the boy.
"Well", he patted the boy's head and said, " These puppies belong to a good family. So the price is somewhat high.". Then the boy thought for a while and took some money from one of his pockets and asked whether it was enough and whether he could see those puppies. 
" Of course. " the farmer said. When he whistled four puppies who looked like four balls came running out of a cage. This boy watched those puppies from over the fence eagerly. But he saw another thing. He saw another ball was trying to come slowly and that he was trying to reach the others. 
" I need him." The boy pointed at that puppy. The farmer knelt before him and said, " Dear son it doesn't match for you. It can't play just like the others ever. ". Then the boy moved backwards and bent to show his fake leg which was fastened using iron strips. Then he said," Do you see uncle? I too can't run and jump. And this one also need someone who can understand him."
The farmer whose eyes were filled with tears, took that puppy and gave it to the boy . " How much is it uncle? ", the boy asked. 
" Not a cent.", the farmer. said. " There's no price for love, my son. " In this society which demands prices for everything, there's a price for the love also. So in a society like this, the example this story gives us is so important. Don't you think so?

Rolling waves

Rolling once and rolling again The wave kisses the beach's face Here it comes the wave again Taking dirt in the ocean's base The wave returns to the ocean's base Leaving nothing on the beach's face Yet the sand got a shining glaze And so is our lives!!! Rolling once and rolling again Situations come to our life's stage One by one they crash with us Doesn't matter whether good or bad They may leave us in a day or two Yet our lives got a new experience To carry on our lives with more comfort Don't make fuss for the change it makes Let your lives flow amidst of troubles Don't make so much grudge with your past Because past is past , live in present It will make your lives perfect Rolling once and rolling again .....

I am personified.

Once upon a time, I think a few centuries ago, I was the most happiest person on this earth. I was the newest member of my family. I had everything with me; specially my family rising like a fortress around me. My grandparents, parents, siblings, relatives, cousins and even our neighbours were strongly bounded. We had no discrimination among us. We didn't care whether we were tall or short, fat or thin, and fair or black. I must say that those times were not so complicated just like today. Our lives were so simple and were flowing without any trouble.
There was a living species who thought they were mighty. But they also respected us and even worshipped us in divinity then, when compared to current situation of them. They have changed a lot with time and they have started to annihilate our species for their own selfish purposes. The only thing that haven't changed is the fact that we're their saviours. Still we are helping them forgetting their cruelty towards us. I'm very sad to say that they've forgot their roots. We've nothing to do for our survival. We can't fight back for our lives because we have no ability of doing that. We have to just want and watch what's going to happen to us. We're like blind, deaf and dumb people. 
Now my family is no more on this earth as they were used to be. Those cruel people have taken our innocent lives to make their lives comfortable. How rude is that!!!! They first started their annihilation from my grandparents. They cut them into pieces to makes beautiful houses. Then they cut my parents and relatives to make furniture and to protect from cold. My siblings were killed in vain saying that they have blocked the entrances to their houses. 
Now I'm the only one of my kind, standing alone, without any family, counting days to my death. Once my place was a heaven filled with all the prosperity. But now it's a hell filled with the grievances of my family. It's a desert now. I can see none of my species around me. The only thing I don't understand is why they destroy us when we help them so much for their survival with food, medicine, timber, shelter, clothes.... etc 
Although they are suffering from the consequences of destroying us, like droughts, instant climatic changes etc, they haven't stopped yet. Poor guys! They don't know that their will be no life without us on this earth. So this is the tragedy of my life. Have you even recognised me now?Hello guys I'm an aggrieving tree who have suffered a lot from the wickedness of the people. Why can't you think of me even once before beheading me. I'm also a living being although I can't move or can't speak. Those inabilities make me more miserable. But what can I do with that? That's your responsibility to take care of me considering of me even as a disabled person. Think for a bit about this. Think of me as a human being. When you are going to kill a human what that person will feel? Just like that I too have bad feelings for getting killed. 
Lovely people think once and please try to protect us.

Dreams....

Everyone on this earth and if there's life in the planets beyond the earth,they too have dreams. Dreaming is a common thing to all. A dream brings a new hope and a freshness to our monotonous lives. Having hopes creates an interesting motivation to our lives. If not we'll be just like sticks submerged in mud, waving here and there without knowing what to do with our lives. 
In our childhood, we had answered the question, ' what's your dream /ambition? ', a thousand times and over. We may have probably answered that by saying, ' I want to be a doctor, engineer,lawyer,pilot....etc'. So there are lots and lots of people who have achieved their childhood dreams with great effort and courage. Some have given up in the middle and some haven't even tried. But in my opinion it is worth trying to achieve your dreams although we may not succeed in each and every dream. It is good to fight to achieve even single dream rather than having thousands of dreams which cannot be achieved. 
When we think of the dreams of people, they vary depending from situation to situation. People facing droughts dream to get even a single drop of water while some people waste galloons of water just for their entertainment. People facing scarcity of food dream to have even a single ' roti' while some people in another part of the world consume Ham,burgers.... everyday. Some people dream to buy vehicles and houses with a value of billion rupees while some people dream to earn 1000 rupees a day. Parents dream about their children. Also the aliens may be dreaming of conquering other planets. Animals may be dreaming of getting good care and affection. Preys may be dreaming of escaping from predators. Likewise everyone has various dreams. You can dream to any extent because it takes no money to dream and there is no prohibition for dreaming. The only thing you have to make sure is to succeed them without making them daydreams. So guys keep on dreaming and gather some happiness for free.
So let's DREAM, DREAM, DREAM......

Think about this!!

There is a beautiful river with crystal clear water, flowing between a set of houses. The inhabitants of those houses beside the river, lead a happy and a healthy lifestyle. But those inhabitants are used to dump garbage into that beautiful river. As they dump their garbage into that river continuously, the river is being polluted gradually. 
Later that beautiful river has become a polluted and a stinky river. Now the river is highly polluted that the people who live around the river can't live there anymore. The polluted river causes lots of diseases to the inhabitants around the river. Later the same people who are responsible for making that beautiful river polluted, start to protest against the officers in charge, in order to clean that polluted river. But they have really forgot that they are the ones who have made that river polluted. How insane is that!
So everyone of us has the responsibility to ensure that our activities won't harm the nature and the activities of nature. We must be farsighted and must protect our nature because once a mistake is done it cannot be undone. We'll definitely have to suffer the consequences of our doings. So let's be smart and rise Against the pollution of the nature.

පැතුම

රිය සකක් ළඟ ළඟම එන විට
කැඩුණු පාරෙහි දිය කඩිත්තට
හොඳටෝම බිය දැනෙනවා
කල් තියා හිත රිදෙනවා....

වරින් වර රළු හඬ නගාගෙන
වේගයෙන් එන චූල රිය සක
සිත මත්තෙ උඩ පනිනවා
චිරිස් ගා තෙත ඉහෙනවා...

ආයෙමත් හිරු ඇවිත් අහසට

පොළෝ තෙත 
සිඳ දමන තුරු හිඳ
සොභා දහමට නතුව මියෙනට
වරම් නැති වග හැඟෙනවා....

ආත්මය බිඳ බිඳ නොසොල්වා
එක්වනම බිඳදා විසුරුවන
යෝධ බ‍ර රෝදයක පතිතය
පතා ඇස් මග බලනවා....

කුමකටද කහ එළිය

දවස කෙලවරකදිත්අහසකට බැරි ඇයිදඅත නෑර නිල් පාටරතු වෙන්නෙ නැතිවම ඉන්න

තල්ලුවක් දී හුළඟ

නොදැනෙන්න නොහැඟෙන්න

පා කරන්නේ ඇයිද

සුදුපාට අහිංසක දුක ඇහුව වලාකුළ

උදෑසන ගී කිව්ව

කුරුල්ලනි මහන්සිද?

බැරිද නොගිහින් ගෙදර

මෙතන මේ හිත ගාව

තව ටිකක් රැදෙන්නට

එපා සඳ පායන්න

ලඟ උනත් පුර පෝය

කුමකටද කහ එළිය

රතු වෙච්ච ඇස් වලට

මහල්ලා සහ මුහුද

රළක් මුතු පොට ගලවා
වේගයෙන් විසිරුවනකොට
ඉතිරිවුනු බෙල්ලෙක් දෙන්නෙක්
ගාට ගාටා
තවම ඇවිදිනව මූදට,

ඉස්සර නව යොවුන් පෙම්වතිය

ගෙල වටේ බැඳගෙන
කෝළ මුතු පොට
දෙපා ඉඹගත්ත වැල්ලමයි මේ
උඹත් ළඟ ඉන්නකොට,

කාලයට දිරන බෝට්ටු බඳ
කහට බැඳගෙන
දොසක් නොකියා ඉන්නවා
මාත් එක්කම
ආපහු දියත් වෙන්නට හීන ගැන ගැන,

ඉතිං
කාලයට
ආදරය අලුත් වෙනවා විතරයි
සොඳුරිය
තනිකම තවමත් ඇත
පැලවුනු තැන.

බුදු වීම අකැපද.... ?

ශ්වේත නෙළුමන් මත
ලොවට ඔහු ආ හින්දම                 

දරා දුක් ගින්දරපතිනියක විය යුතුමද
සංසාරෙ පුරාවට
පතාගෙන ආ කිව්වම 
පුතුන් තනිවම දරා
ඉවසීම යෙහෙකිද
දෙමාපිය ස්නේහය මැද
කුමරියක වී වුන් ඇය
සංසාරගත ප්‍රේමෙක 
කදුළු බිඳ විය යුතුමද

ලොවක් සනසන ඔහුසැනසීම ඇය කරුමෙද
හිනාවෙන දෙතොලෙන්
කදුළු සැගවිය යුතුමද
පරම දර්ශී වූවම
ලොවෙන් එන ගුණ විතරද
එතෙක් පෙරුමන් පිරුවද
බුදු වීම අකැපද.... ?

සඳ එළිය

පහළ විල් දිය මතින් සඳ එළිය දිලෙන්නේ
වහල මත ගහල වැල් සුළඟකට වැනෙන්නේ
අහල පහලක කෙනෙක් නැති තනිය දැනෙන්නේ
ඇහැළ මල් පෙති නොවෙයි ජීවිතය ගිලෙන්නේ

වැහි දාක අහසටත් නොදැනීම හැඬෙන්නේ
ඇහි දාර මත හිඳන් කඳුළක් ද තැවෙන්නේ
කොහි යාද කෙළවරක් කවදාද නොදන්නේ
මිහි යාය මැද කෙසේ සිහියකින් හිඳින්නේ

පිහි ඇණුම් පහරක්ය හදවතක වැදෙන්නේ
එහි කොහිද සිහිලසක් උණු ලෙයයි ගලන්නේ
ඉහළ මහලක් වෙතොත් ගහලයින් රැඳෙන්නේ
ඇහැළ පෙත්තක රැඳෙමි සිහිනයයි බිඳෙන්නේ
