Losing our roots: The cringe normalisation of Halloween
9+ hour, 56+ min ago (532+ words) This blind imitation of Western culture continues to peak, reflecting a growing cultural emptiness, a loss of civilizational confidence, and an increasing disconnect from our own sacred traditions.

The night before All Saints" Day came to be known as All Hallows" Eve, later shortened to Halloween. Thus, Halloween is essentially a blend of Celtic pagan rituals and Christian practices. Rise of Halloween "Cringe Culture" What makes the current wave of Halloween promotions in educational institutions particularly cringe-worthy is not the costumes themselves, but the unquestioned glorification of a festival that has no connection with our culture, spirituality, or values.

In nature, few metaphors are as powerful as that of a calm river. It moves steadily, gracefully, and purposefully, without forcing its way or resisting its surroundings. To flow like a calm river in life is to embrace a state of inner ease while continuing to move forward, regardless of circumstances. This way of being reminds us that true strength is not always loud or aggressive; often, it is soft, consistent, and deeply grounded. A calm river teaches us the art of steady progress. It doesn't rush to reach its destination, nor does it stop when the terrain becomes challenging. It simply keeps moving. In life…...
