Religion has taken over humanity
Religion is a beautiful thing. But we the practitioners have gone so fanatic with it that we forget to be humane. Yes, we fight each other and destroy nature for him but why? We don't strike our fellow humans on their wrongdoings, we attack their souls, their mind and try to change them. We put them through pain because they have a different view on what they think God is.
We have turned our religious markers into demarcations
This is my way, That is another's. I am this, You are that, You're not like me...
We're all different in a good way. We have made religion a marker of our differences, and this is the most unfortunate thing about it. Ever since, our differences have been preventing us from respecting, much less loving each other. Religion can be an amazing thing if it teaches us how to love those whom we don't know. It is important to love your neighbor just as you love yourself because at the end of the day, we are all humans. We are all children of God. We all bleed red, we all smell bad when we fart, we all like to eat and drink water and we all hate the dentist when he drills.
**No matter what religion you are**
**Even if you aren't any**
**A common thing should be present in your life**
**That's the humanity**
**Say No to Religious Fanaticism**
**And say Yes to Humanity**
**Humanity is above everything**
We all should be humane. It doesn't matter if he/she is from a different caste, creed or religion
If someone is wrong in his way, beat him with humanity. If someone gets wrong with you, talk to him with humanity. If someone is ill, take care of him/her with humanity. If someone is hungry give him food with humanity. If someone offends you, be polite to him/her with humanity.
The biggest problem today is Religious fanaticism. The problem of religious fanaticism has become so common these days that it poses a significant danger to the humanity
Religion is a beautiful thing. But we the practitioners have gone so fanatic with it that we forgot the real message of the religion. We have forgotten humanity as well because of this holy nonsense that we are doing every day
Every day we see man-made conflicts and killings around us in the name of religion. It's time we should respect the mothers and fathers of all religions, Prophets of all religions, Gurus of all religions, Saints of all religion but never should respect their followers who do wrong in the name of any religion because that is the degradation of the religion itself.

My last day in high school

I remember my last day in high school quite clearly. I woke early, around six a.m., and went to school. It was my graduation day. I had been longing for that day for a long time.
I thought I was finally going to be free, that I won't be under the control of teachers again. I had just turned 16 and was about to enter the real world of adulthood.
My last day in school was a bitter-sweet moment for me. Mostly sweet and full of hope for the future, but with an equal dose of dread and fear for the unknown.
*🎵 🎶. It may be the last time of sitting together, it may be the last time we don't know.*
This song made me cry that day. I have always said it that a drop of tears won't come out of my eyes. But it came unexpectedly.
During those times we were doing the song practice, I was happy I was finally going to leave high school, but on the graduation day, tears rolled down. This is because I wished I could stay longer.
I wished I never left high school. I had spent the last five years of my life there, and it had been the best.

**There were two reasons why I missed high school.**
First, I loved being with my friends. I missed my classmates, teachers and all other activities done in school. Sometimes I would imagine us being together again. Or probably if time can go back. But such is life, we can be together forever.
Second, it was the only place where people liked me for who I was. There was no judgement, no criticism and no expectations. I was a popular kid because of my personality, not because of my family background. Friends made me feel better about myself and helped
The other classes, teachers and activities at school were incredible too,but what sticks out most in my mind was my small group of friends. They had changed me as a person. I already was a very positive person to start with, and they added to that positivity.
I have realized recently how much I've changed since then. I have learned so much from those guys; here are a few lessons that are forever etched into my mind:
**Never give up on the people closest to you.**
**Enjoy the little things in life, because you never know when you'll lose them.**
**Surround yourself with people who care about you more than you care about them. If you have friends like this, hold on to them as tight as possible.**
Now, after completing my degree in literature, I am trying to motivate people of my age group to get the best they can out of their time.
To make good friends in high school. And also live the best of our lives. We might say that we won't miss anyone. Let me be honest with you, you will miss a lot of people.
