The Battlefield of the Soul: Navigating Faith and Temptation

Emil was quiet. They had walked for over an hour through the open plain, where the wind whispered secrets through the tall grass. Grandfather didn’t rush. He knew Emil’s silence was the prelude to something important. At last, Emil asked, “Why did God put us here—in this world, where everything seems so broken?” Grandfather didn’t

What is Mercy, Anyway?

The sky held a stillness that morning, like the world waiting to listen. Mira and Grandfather walked through a meadow where dew clung to every blade of grass. “I understand compassion now,” Mira said. “It asks me to stand beside someone’s pain.

Kavi and the Pattern of Self-Reflection

Kavi had long observed a perplexing phenomenon: many individuals, when faced with failure or setbacks, instinctively search for the fault in others rather than looking inward. They readily cast blame on external factors—be it colleagues, circumstances, or even fate. This tendency, Kavi realized, not only stunts personal growth but also sows discord within families, workplaces,

The Light Within: Unveiling the Essence of Dimming Flames

Once, in a small, serene village nestled between rolling hills, there was a tradition. Each household possessed a unique lamp—a radiant symbol of their aspirations, joys, and connections. The lamps burned brightly, their glow casting warmth and unity across the village. Yet, these lamps were peculiar; they required a special oil, sourced from within the
