The Garden of the Heart: Growing Love Beyond Wealth

The Garden of the Heart: Growing Love Beyond Wealth

 True happiness does not come from money, mansions, or luxury cars. It comes from something far more precious—a pure heart that can love unconditionally, feel another’s pain, and shine with kindness.

When life becomes only a race for wealth and comfort, something within us begins to die. Humanity slowly fades away. The more we run after possessions, the more we lose touch with the warmth of family, the beauty of relationships, and the strength of community. In the end, greed leaves us empty. We may collect treasures, but we lose the very soul that makes us human.

History reminds us of this truth time and again. In Nepal, during the recent JNZ movement, the mountains of wealth accumulated by corrupt leaders vanished overnight. What remained was not honor but shame, not respect but ridicule. Imagine if that wealth had been used to feed the hungry, clothe the poor, or bring hope to the helpless—how many lives could have been changed! Instead, it brought nothing but humiliation.

A person’s worth is never measured by the weight of their gold but by the depth of their heart. Material things vanish like dust, but love, compassion, and service live forever.

Thankfully, our world still shines with examples of selfless souls. In Nepal, people like Ashika Tamang inspire us by giving up personal comfort to serve humanity. Around the world, history remembers those who did not live just for themselves but offered their lives for the happiness of others. Their names echo across generations, long after their wealth has turned to nothing.

So, instead of thinking, “I don’t have money, I don’t have a house, I don’t have a car,” ask yourself: “What can I give today?” Even the smallest act of kindness—a warm smile, a helping hand, a few kind words—can light up someone’s world. That is where true happiness begins.

When we let go of envy, greed, and selfishness, when we learn to rejoice in the little we have, and when we start thinking not just for ourselves but for others, life blossoms. Happiness is not in possessions—it is in compassion.

In the end, our homes, our cars, our bank accounts—all are temporary. But the love we give, the kindness we share, and the humanity we carry within us will live on forever. To be truly rich is not to have much, but to give much, from the garden of the heart.

The True Essence of Relationships

The True Essence of Relationships

 Every relationship is built on dedication, sacrifice, and constant effort. A bond is never sustained by one person alone—it takes the equal participation of both sides. Relationships are not limited to the bond between husband and wife; they apply to every human connection. As the saying goes, it takes two hands to clap. In the same way, a relationship can only remain alive when both individuals contribute wholeheartedly.

When it comes to marriage, only a small percentage—perhaps five to ten percent—manage to remain truly strong and resilient. In these relationships, couples handle misunderstandings with open conversations, thoughtful compromises, and mutual understanding. They promise to move forward in life together, grounded in love, trust, and respect to each other.

Yet many relationships crumble at the very first sign of conflict. In the United States, nearly half of all marriages end in divorce. Here, people tend to prioritize independence, self respect and personal freedom, which often outweighs the obligation to stay together. By contrast, many first-generation Nepali immigrants still carry with them the traditions, cultural values, and social expectations of their homeland. Because of this, they often put more effort into preserving their relationships, even when challenges arise.

Some marriages, however, survive only through compromise. Many women endure their husband’s harsh behavior, verbal abuse, or humiliation for the sake of family, children, or social reputation. Likewise, some men suppress their own feelings and tolerate disrespect just to keep the family intact.

But when a relationship is filled only with insults and disregard, without love or respect, it has already died from within. Even if it appears intact from the outside, emotionally the partners have long drifted apart. A true relationship requires more than physical presence—it thrives on emotional closeness and mutual care.

Too often, pride becomes the silent killer of intimacy. Those who insist, “I am always right,” may feel like they have won an argument, but in truth, they are facing one of life’s greatest losses. As long as the other person still argues back, the door to dialogue remains open. But once the responses stop, silence becomes the proof that the relationship has already emptied itself.

The truth is simple: while some relationships endure only through sacrifice, the strongest ones flourish because both people invest equally—sharing love, trust, and respect.

If you want your relationship to grow and remain evergreen:

• Cultivate love and trust with each other.

• Learn to honor self-worth and respect each other’s perspectives.

• Put aside your ego and make room for humility.

Victory in a relationship does not come when one person wins and the other loses. True success comes when both partners value each other equally, recognizing that every life is just as precious as their own. The golden key to a lasting, beautiful relationship lies in respecting others as much as you respect yourself.

Because if you cling to the joy of thinking, “I have won,” it will eventually turn into regret. And no relationship built on regret can ever bring true happiness.

🌞 My Summer Trip to Lake George 🌊: By Mukkum Limbu

🌞 My Summer Trip to Lake George 🌊: By Mukkum Limbu

This summer I went to Lake George with my family, and it was a really fun trip! Some things were not what I expected, but it still turned out to be great.

1. The Motel 🏨

When my mom was booking the motel, I thought it would be in a big city with cleaning service and all that fancy stuff. But when we got there, it was kind of in the middle of nowhere! The motel was small and didn’t even have cleaning service. But guess what? It had a pool, a jacuzzi, and a play area! So I didn’t mind at all because I spent most of my time swimming and relaxing in the jacuzzi.

2. Lake George Boat Ride 🚤

One day my dad drove us to Lake George, and we went on a boat ride. It was so cool! While we were on the boat, they even told us to say hi to someone because it was his last day working there. On the boat, I got to drink lemonade and eat nachos with cheese. The ride was super fun, and I really enjoyed being on the water.

3. The Food 🍔🍟🍢

Since the motel didn’t have food, we went out to restaurants. For lunch, I had a cheeseburger and fries (my brother got the same thing). At dinner, we went to a different restaurant, and I tried kebab with rice and mango lassi. It was delicious! My brother didn’t eat dinner because he just wanted to go back to the pool.

4. Conclusion 🎉

My trip to Lake George was really fun. Some things were not what I expected, like the motel, but in the end, it was still a great vacation. I had fun swimming, eating tasty food, and riding on the boat. I would definitely go back again!

The end
