I Now Know

I NOW KNOW

Every year on my birthday I blow a candle, it not only means that I am growing but also that I have experienced things and my knowledge about various aspects of life has increased.

There was one major incident that changed the way I perceive things and taught me that there is always another dimension to things.

Our feelings are not wrong.

I was visiting a church near my house, as I was standing inside waiting for my mom to come. I noticed something, from the corner of my eye, I saw someone running towards the nun that was beside me. The girl seemed frantic and scared. I could not help but overhear their conversation. The girl kept asking for forgiveness over and over again, not knowing the reason as to why the girl pleaded with such apologetic eyes , the nun told her to take a minute to calm herself down. The girl took a deep breath and confessed that she liked both men and women, she started tearing up and felt a sense of shame, her insecurities were out and loud. The nun did not take long to reply, she smiled looking at the girl and said "it is so great that your heart is large enough to love both men and women, I am sure that it is what God would have wanted." after hearing that I smiled and realised that it was the warmest thing I had ever heard. The girl had felt like she had committed a sin and that it was something she shouldn't have done, not because she didn't want to but because she was brought up in a society like ours, which doesn't value the beauty of being different and being unique questions your integrity. The day we start accepting and moreover respecting others, the world may become a better place to live in.

The legend of this deadly hybrid first began with Greek authors such as Ctesias, who chronicled it in a book about India. Ctesias and others described the manticore as having three rows of teeth like a shark and a tuneful bellow that sounded like a trumpet. Most terrifying of all, it had an insatiable appetite for human flesh. After using its blistering speed to chase down its prey, the beast was said to slash at them with its claws or sting them with its tail before devouring them bones and all. According to Ctesias, the manticore was even capable of paralyzing or killing its victims from a distance by firing stingers from its tail “as if from a bow. 2.SELKOLLA   STORY: The events of Selkollu þáttr take place in the Westfjords , beginning when a man and woma...
