Full stop [.]


When one is in the spree of writing thoughts flow and its quite easy..It is probably one such day with me-
Full stop. Is it just a little punctuation mark? Or does it have something else to symbolize? For people it is just a stupid punctuation mark which tells us when a sentence ends and when a new one starts. And no doubt they are correct. But can we correlate it to our lives? Can we use a simple punctuation mark to have better lives?


YES! We can! A simple punctuation can help us be better people. Because for me a Fullstop is not something which is just a stupid punctuation mark, it is something which sets limitations. It is something which creates- bars, it is something which helps man separate himself from being needy and being greedy.


A fullstop to our growing demands. A fullstop to our needs. A fullstop to our bad deeds. A fullstop to what we want to be. A fullstop to jealousy among peers. A fullstop to industrialization. A fullstop to the not-so-needed technologies. A fullstop to corruption. A fullstop to illiteracy.


Does adding a simple punctuation mark to all these situations bring about a change in the paradigm of what we think of a "Punctuation mark"? Does it seem to you that Fullstop is just a punctuation mark?


A fullstop to smoking, a fullstop to excessive drinking, a fullstop to drugs, a fullstop to overeating, a fullstop to ignorance. Wouldn't adding a fullstop to all these make people better?


It is time we start looking at objects not only as objects, but as metaphors. Because everything around us, symbolizes something. We should try to inspire ourselves looking at them and try make our lives better. Unless and until we try change our way of looking at things in an optimistic manner, we can never be better human beings.


God helps those, who help themselves. :)
