Independence and dependence
 

I was discussing independence, who is independent in our world? Only on the base of existence, can one be independent? The deciding factor of independence is relative to matter. Independence depends on the percentage of matter in the composition of the particular substance. Existence is independent. The existence of one does not interfere with that of another. A particle has its independent existence. Other particles do not interfere with its existence.They do not attack it or attempt to destroy it. Every object is independent in its existence.

Dear Readers,

2017 will soon draw to a close. How was it for you and your family? We hope it was replete with joy, peace,  growth and achievement. Now 2018 is knocking at our doors, so here's a New Year's gift for you-a resolution"- NOT TO WASTE FOOD" in the New Year and beyond. Why? Food is crucial for our sustenance. However every morsel of food that appears on our plate arrives after extensive efforts from scores of individuals and after causing much himsa. Let us respect the efforts of any and save ourselves  for unnecessary himsa by resolving to stop food wastage.

Here are some tips for HOW TO NOT WASTE FOOD:

1) Serve yourself with awareness of your appetite.
2) Take smaller servings and then go for seconds or thirds.
3) Make a resolution never to leave anything on your plate.
4) Teach children to follow all of the above.
5) If you are serving food to others, do not force them to take much more than they want.
6) Shop for groceries with awareness-  Buy only what you can use before things start to spoil.
7) Cook meals with awareness- cook only what you can consume.
8) When invited to functions and events either by individuals or organizations: 

9) When hosting an event and functions--

Let us hope that 2018 will be the beginnings of a new era when JVB families will be free from food wastage problems and related avoidable himsa.
