The judge then turn to the man and gave him the chance to defend himself and

What Common Pesticides Can Do to Brains
|
For defense against the fungal
pathogens that attack crops—think the blight that bedeviled Irish potato
fields in the 19th century—farmers turn to fungicides. They're widely sprayed

quite common in the corn and soybean fie...

Points to ponder!
Email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai
One Sunday Morning,
a Wealthy Man sat in his balcony enjoying Sunshine and his Coffee when a little
ANT caught his eye which was going from one side to the other side of the
balcony carrying
a Big Leaf several times more than its size.
a Big Leaf several times more than its size.
The Man watched it for more than an hour.
He saw that the Ant faced Many Impediments during its journey, paused, took a diversion and then continued towards Destination.

At one point the Tiny Creature came across
a Crack in the Floor.

It Paused for
a little while, Analyzed and
then Laid the huge leaf over the crack,
Walked over the leaf, Picked the Leaf
on the other side then Continued its JOURNEY.

The Man was
Captivated by the Cleverness of the ANT, one of God’s Tiniest Creatures.
The incident left
the Man in awe and
Forced him to Contemplate over the
Miracle of Creation.
It showed the Greatness of the Creator.

In front of his eyes
there was this Tiny Creature of God, lacking in size yet equipped with
a Brain to Analyze, Contemplate, Reason, Explore, Discover and OVERCOME.

Along with all these Capabilities,
the Man also noticed that this Tiny Creature shared some Human Shortcomings.

How could the Ant carry into the tiny hole
the large leaf that it had managed to carefully bring to the Destination?
It simply couldn't!

So the Tiny Creature, after all the Painstaking and Hard Work and

left behind the Large Leaf and
Went Home Empty-Handed.

The Ant had
not thought about the End
before it began its Challenging Journey and
in the End the Large Leaf was nothing more than a Burden to it.

The Man Learned a
Great Lesson that DAY.
Isn't that the Truth about OUR LIVES?
We worry
about our Family,
We worry about our Job,
We worry about how to earn more Money,
We worry about where we should Live –
5 bedroom or 6 bedroom house,
What kind of Vehicle to Buy –
a Mercedes or BMW or a Porsche,
What kind of Dresses to wear,
all sorts of things, only to ABANDON all these things when we reach Our Destination –
The GRAVE.

We don’t realize in
our Life’s Journey
that these are just BURDENS that we are carrying with Utmost Care and Fear of Losing them, only to find that at the end,
they are Useless and We can’t take them
With US.....

Farmer Rob Pickering last week planted nine hectares of flood-prone land
