A Forgotten Dream
I can never see some things, because my heart is afraid to go into the darkness. Lucy! Why doesn't everything become quiet here so that I don't get lost in those voices? I can hear the loneliness inside me. Kezia, why do you want loneliness? Why do you always say such things which are difficult to understand? Everyone here wants to say something or the other, Lucy!, but no one wants to listen. It's hard to believe, that one day there can be peace here. But the day everything becomes quiet here, I will hear my mother's call clearly. The call that I have always wanted to hear, I have always been searching for her. Lucy! I have not even seen my mother's face yet, but I can feel her presence; those memories of hers, which we never shared, have become a part of my existence. Your mother... Kezia, where is your mother? I pray to God that you meet your mother soon." Lucy! Whenever I ask my father about my mother, he says she will come to meet me very soon. Your mother is a fairy, who lives far away in the fairyland, and fairies are always happy. My mother is still alive, my father says, but Lucy, it's hard to believe that she is a living fairy. Kezia, then your mother must be watching you from the fairyland. She will definitely come to meet you one day. Don't be sad like this, dear I feel very bad about you. Lucy! Why don't you understand., "Every attempt to peek beyond the veil of reality will pull you into such a whirlpool of imagination, where logic and consciousness start getting lost. The search there will shatter your inner peace and take you to the last threshold of madness. Kezia, you talk very strangely, sometimes I do not understand at all what you want to say. Kezia became silent. She looked at Lucy and smiled; now, she didn't want to say anything more. Lucy now turned right into a narrow lane, from where her house was a little further. While going, she said to Kezia, "Will you come to my house to play this evening." Probably, I will definitely come. Kezia smiled and nodded." And both of them went their own ways. She was watching Lucy go; she smiled for a moment, and her eyes sparkled. She wanted to say something, but then she bowed her head and slowly crossed that lane with heavy steps and moved forward. The sadness and emptiness that had entered the depths of her heart took away her smile; the sparkle in her eyes had disappeared somewhere. She lost all her creativity, she had made loneliness a means to satisfy her soul. The will to fulfill a dream makes a person lonely. She smiled, whenever she thought about her mother. At least when she was completely lost in the thoughts of her mother, then she had nothing to do with the real world outside. But the waves of loneliness rising inside her, silently drowned her soul in deep silence. It's hard to believe, Mrs. Eliana that we will meet in this life. "She said smilingly to herself." And started walking towards her house

President Biden Declares Equal Rights Amendment Ratified, Igniting Legal Controversy
President Joe Biden has sparked a political and legal firestorm with his recent announcement declaring the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as ratified and officially part of the U.S. Constitution. The announcement, made late in his term, has drawn widespread criticism from legal experts who argue that Biden’s declaration is symbolic at best and legally meaningless at worst. In a statement, Biden said, “It is long past time to recognize the will of the American people. In keeping with my oath and duty to the Constitution and country, I affirm what I believe and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: the 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex.” While his message appeals to advocates of gender equality, critics argue that his announcement holds no legal significance, as the ERA’s original ratification deadline expired decades ago.
