A nobel woman who lived for Others

 

Mother Teresa was a Roman Catholic saint and whenever her name comes up, one is reminded of unconditional love, compassion and selfless service to those in need. Born as Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in 1910, she developed strong religious inclinations at the young age of 18. She came to India in 1929 and spent a good number of years teaching history and geography at a convent school in Calcutta.

On a train journey in 1946, she saw poverty and suffering and this is what evoked a realization in her that she wants to live among those in need in slums and help them. She eventually went on to found the Missionaries of Charity and her motto in life became to care for the hungry, homeless, cripples and all those people who felt unwanted, unloved and uncared for.

Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for alleviating suffering from the lives of many people. She became a symbol of peace and humanitarianism. Her words continue to inspire many and shall always do. Once she said, “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”

Her popular quote : 

"If you judge people, you have no..."

  What does the quote mean?

The quote serves a reminder to people that judgements on people do no good to anyone. Instead of finding flaws in a person, one should simply appreciate the goodness in everyone and love them for who they are. Most of us will agree that in this day and age, judgement, scrutinty and finding flaws in others has become a second nature of many people.

Lessons from the quote

•  When you choose to criticize someone, you automatically close the door to forming a good bond with them.
• Giving labels to people and putting them in a box is a bad habit that one should get rid of.
• In this day and age of social media where everyone is scrutinising everyone's move, constant judgment can trigger many mental health struggles. It can erode one's peace of mind and start an undercurrent of negativity.
• Always remember that everyone is fighting a quiet battle you know nothing about.
• Expecting others to be flawless ensures you will always find a reason to distance yourself from them.
• You cannot truly love a person if you spend your initial moments calculating their faults.

A Courageous Woman Who had the Power to Shake the Throne

 

Emotionally, but structurally—has reignited public skepticism.

The Palace has maintained a strict “no comment” policy, but behind closed doors, emergency summits are reportedly underway. The leaked dossier forces a reckoning with a uncomfortable question: How far will an ancient institution go to protect its survival?

Diana’s legacy has always been defined by her vulnerability and her warmth. However, these newly uncovered truths reveal a different side of the People’s Princess—a strategic, courageous woman who possessed the power to shake the throne to its very foundations, even decades after her departure. The secret is out, and the Windsor family must now face the music.

No Royal Duties for Sussex's

 King Charles sent a clear message following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s return to Britain: they remain private citizens and will not undertake official royal duties. Their return to the country does not mean a return to the Royal Family as working royals.

At the King’s direction, the Lord Chamberlain sent an official letter to selected senior figures across government, the military and the Lord Lieutenancies, confirming that there has been no change to the current status of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The official letter reiterates that, since January 2020, the couple have ceased carrying out official duties on behalf of the Sovereign and are not working members of the Royal Family.

Their HRH styles remain in abeyance and are not used. Their charitable activities are considered private and are carried out solely in their personal capacity.

Harry and Meghan’s office will continue to operate separately from the Royal Household, while any matters relating to their security should be directed to the relevant authorities.

The letter was sent following the couple’s return to Britain for an extended stay, after a number of requests for clarification regarding their status.

While the letter confirms that there has been no change to their official status, Prince Harry was also seen publicly in London following his return, visiting Tower Bridge Studios in central London.

Do you believe there is a reason why the King decided to send this letter now?

Do you think the King was right to do so, in order to avoid any confusion and prevent their public appearances and charitable activities from being seen as royal duties?
