Japanese Literature Hits Different
In 2024, I started a new trend in my reading habit: buying and devouring Japanese literature; and no, I don't mean just Manga books (although those are amazing too), but in this particular case, I mean literary fiction written by Japanese authors.

We have to change ourselves by knowing ourselves
This is a very pleasant morning. It was winter, the weather was very cold and the morning had dawned very bright. We were sitting at the camp with the desire to hear some things from Baba Ji Noor Wale. When I mention Antere or Baba to you, it is very difficult to understand you because if I had said instead that one day we were sitting in the lawn of the Institute of Human Relations and our director Mr. Bakhshni was telling us something about the relatedness to the human race, it would have been easier for you to understand. The thing is that words also have their own world. First of all, words clearly have meanings, like Gul means flower or Ahan means iron or Bal Gabriel means Gabriel's wings. But along with the meanings of words, words also have their own personality. They also have a height, they also have a temperament, they also have bitterness and they also have compassion and their entire personality and all the training that they undergo, in their own way, has its own effect on the reader and listener. That is why the word "big camp" despite all its conditions and connotations does not come to our grasp because we have not seen it, we have not passed through it, it has never been ours. So we were sitting there and in our own way we were presenting some suggestions for the betterment and greatness of Pakistan, we were formulating some programs. There was Maulvi Musa of the Mystery, a very sharp and intelligent man, and Allah had given him such a mind that he would understand things very quickly and would present his opinion very quickly.

We should treat everyone with respect and appreciation
If we examine, we are a little stingy in the matter of expressing gratitude and even in the people we live among, these habits have not been awakened. I do not know why. We are very good people, we are lovely people, we provide good and happy things for each other. But we are stingy in the matter of praise and appreciation. This custom has not even become a habit here and we have not considered that praise and appreciation is also obligatory. If it is not obligatory somewhere, then it should be done so that unity and harmony are created between humans. Unfortunately, here, people are praised after their departure. If you go to the largest graveyard in Lahore, Miani Sahib, you will see many books on which the name of the deceased, date of birth and date of death are written. Then there will also be descriptive words along with it. Now that poor person cannot go out and see what is written on the book. It was not useful for him. It would have been better if he had been praised and appreciated while he was alive. It is a source of support for him to know that the people around him are very encouraging people. There is an incident where some companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) were there before him. The new ones came and said, "O Messenger of Allaah, these companions of yours seem very dear to me and I like them. I am not very familiar with them, but they are very kind-hearted." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "Did you tell them this?" He said, "Yes, I did not." He said, "Go immediately, follow them and put your hand on their shoulder and say, "I like you, I like you." So they ran after them and said, "I love you very much." Obviously, they must have responded to his love with love. We are lacking in some love. It is not that we do not have it in our hearts. I think we have enough love in our hearts. Our people sing songs and tell stories. We are very loving people, but we cannot express it with our tongues. I do not know why. And the expression of praise and scolding should be spontaneous and spontaneous.
