There’s harmony and inner peace to be found in following a moral compass that points in the same direction, regardless of fashion or trend.
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Existence is governed by its own law. Here, the things impermanent by nature
are bound to meet their end. Hence, with the passage of time, not only Ravana's

An intelligent person is the one who can differentiate between the necessary
and the unnecessary things in life.
-Deep Trivedi

-Miguel De Cervantes
