When Hope Dies, A Match Remains
|
Dr Ranbir Laishram
We learned to fail — gently, like a tired hand letting go.
One person slips; another lifts. A mistake becomes a lesson, a bruise a map.
Systems can rust: decisions grind to dust, rulebooks break, streets shout.
Still people rise: we gather, teach repair, stitch policy with open palms.
Corrective action is ritual: name the harm, learn the wound, replant what greed uprooted.
We speak truth without striking, build what keeps us alive.
Peace is practice: laws that listen, leaders who admit fault, schools that teach mercy.
It’s the courage to apologize and the patience to teach again.
When man and system both fail — compassion hollow, instruments deaf — hope dies.
Still, one spark can start a forest: bring your hands, your voice; demand healing.
