Time‌‌less‌‌and‌‌time‌‌bound‌‌

   ‌
1. Value‌-‌ ‌‌money‌‌; ‌ ‌

Timeless‌‌values‌‌are‌‌those‌‌which‌‌have‌‌no‌‌expiration‌‌or‌‌ever‌‌fall‌‌out‌‌of‌‌good‌‌  
graces‌‌of‌‌any‌‌society/culture.‌‌Telling‌‌the‌‌truth‌‌never‌‌goes‌‌out‌‌of‌‌style‌‌or‌‌value‌‌-‌‌it‌‌  
is‌‌one‌‌of‌‌the‌‌basic‌‌tenets‌‌of‌‌living‌‌with‌‌others‌‌because‌‌truth‌‌is‌‌needed‌‌to‌‌keep‌‌  
things‌‌safe‌‌and‌‌sane.‌‌Respect‌‌holds‌‌a‌‌people‌‌together‌‌-‌‌if‌‌there‌‌is‌‌no‌‌respect,‌‌  
there‌‌is‌‌no‌‌order‌‌or‌‌accomplishment;‌‌fear‌‌might‌‌rule‌‌for‌‌a‌‌while‌‌but‌‌eventually‌‌  
people‌‌under‌‌duress‌‌find‌‌ways‌‌to‌‌overcome‌‌or‌‌escape‌‌the‌‌duress.‌‌If‌‌there‌‌is‌‌  
respect,‌‌changes‌‌can‌‌occur‌‌naturally‌‌as‌‌needed‌‌but‌‌fear‌‌just‌‌spawns‌‌distrust‌‌and‌‌  
a‌‌refusal‌‌to‌‌work‌‌together.‌‌Patriotism‌‌should‌‌be‌‌a‌‌timeless‌‌value‌‌but‌‌despots‌‌and‌‌  
dictators‌‌have‌‌altered‌‌its‌‌perception‌‌and‌‌now‌‌people‌‌are‌‌not‌‌proud‌‌to‌‌be‌‌from‌‌a ‌‌
country‌‌or‌‌culture‌‌but‌‌now‌‌feel‌‌they‌‌must‌‌conquer‌‌all‌‌others‌‌in‌‌favor‌‌of‌‌their‌‌own‌‌  
making‌‌of‌‌eternal‌‌conflict‌‌and‌‌distrust.‌‌Family‌‌is‌‌a‌‌timeless‌‌value‌‌because‌‌it‌‌  
teaches‌‌loyalty,‌‌love‌‌and‌‌tolerance;‌‌if‌‌someone‌‌in‌‌your‌‌family‌‌is‌‌an‌‌outsider,‌‌you‌‌  
learn‌‌from‌‌him‌‌and‌‌it‌‌helps‌‌define‌‌your‌‌own‌‌standards‌‌and‌‌family‌‌standards.‌‌  
Tolerance‌‌has‌‌a‌‌bad‌‌name‌‌these‌‌days‌‌but‌‌in‌‌the‌‌past‌‌of‌‌human‌‌history,‌‌being‌‌  
able‌‌to‌‌tolerate‌‌those‌‌with‌‌differences‌‌from‌‌your‌‌own‌‌perspective‌‌allows‌‌a‌‌coming‌‌  
together‌‌or‌‌deep‌‌division‌‌to‌‌occur‌‌and‌‌if‌‌tolerance‌‌is‌‌allowed‌‌to‌‌be‌‌used,‌‌then‌‌the‌‌  
problem‌‌might‌‌just‌‌be‌‌worked‌‌through‌‌for‌‌the‌‌best‌‌of‌‌all.‌‌Self-respect‌‌allows‌‌you‌‌  
to‌‌be‌‌the‌‌best‌‌person‌‌you‌‌can‌‌be‌‌and‌‌accept‌‌a‌‌place‌‌in‌‌the‌‌world‌‌while‌‌allowing‌‌  
subtle‌‌differences‌‌to‌‌be‌‌allowed‌‌and‌‌accepted.‌  ‌

Recognizing‌‌the‌‌differences‌‌between‌‌egoic‌‌values‌‌and‌‌awakened‌‌values:‌  ‌

- Examples‌‌of‌‌egoic‌‌values‌‌are:‌‌acquiring‌‌or‌‌hanging‌‌onto‌‌more‌‌  
stuff/money/beauty.‌‌Values‌‌are‌‌competition,‌‌being‌‌understood,‌‌being‌‌loved,‌‌  
having‌‌control,‌‌being‌‌a‌‌victim,‌‌being‌‌a‌‌victimizer.‌‌Blame,‌‌judgment‌‌and‌‌
 
condemnation.‌‌Ultimately‌‌what‌‌ego‌‌values‌‌more‌‌than‌‌anything‌‌else‌‌is‌‌  
separation.‌‌Temporarily‌‌being‌‌caught‌‌in‌‌believing‌‌an‌‌egoic‌‌value‌‌is‌‌not‌‌a ‌‌
sin,‌‌it’s‌‌merely‌‌missing‌‌the‌‌mark.‌  ‌

 ‌
-‌ ‌Awakened‌‌values‌‌have‌‌no‌‌“should”‌‌or‌‌“shouldn’t”‌‌in‌‌them.‌‌Examples‌‌of‌‌what‌‌  
spirit‌‌finds‌‌valuable‌‌are‌‌truthfulness,‌‌unity‌‌(because‌‌it‌‌is‌‌a‌‌truth:‌‌everything‌‌we‌‌
 
experience‌‌is‌‌a‌‌manifestation‌‌of‌‌ineffable‌‌spirit),‌‌freedom‌‌(not‌‌only‌‌for‌‌oneself,‌‌ 
but‌‌for‌‌all‌‌beings),‌‌peace,‌‌gratitude,‌‌love.‌  ‌

In‌‌simple‌‌terms,‌‌timeless‌‌values‌‌are‌‌virtues‌‌that‌‌people‌‌of‌‌most‌‌cultures‌‌have‌‌
 
respected‌‌for‌‌many‌‌centuries.‌‌Honesty‌‌is‌‌an‌‌example‌‌of‌‌a‌‌timeless‌‌value.‌‌  
Societies‌‌around‌‌the‌‌globe‌‌tend‌‌to‌‌consider‌‌honesty‌‌a‌‌virtue,‌‌and‌‌hold‌‌contempt‌‌ 
for‌‌liars‌‌and‌‌thieves.‌ 

 ‌
2. Style‌‌-‌d
‌ esign;‌  ‌

Design‌‌is‌‌something‌‌eternal‌‌which‌‌is‌‌said‌‌to‌‌evolve‌‌through‌‌the‌‌period‌‌of‌‌time‌‌but‌‌  
it‌‌is‌‌always‌‌a‌‌cycle‌ ‌which‌‌starts‌‌evolving‌‌and‌‌it‌‌repeats‌‌history‌‌itself‌‌in‌‌different‌‌
 
ways‌‌.In‌‌end‌‌,‌‌history‌‌repeats‌‌itself‌‌. ‌ ‌

Style‌‌is‌‌time‌‌bound;‌‌it‌‌depends‌‌on‌‌the‌‌power‌‌of‌‌the‌‌people's‌‌authority‌‌but‌‌  
sometimes‌‌Style‌‌is‌‌timeless.‌‌It‌‌transcends‌‌generations‌‌-‌‌it's‌‌enduring.‌‌If‌‌you're‌‌  
thinking‌‌about‌‌fashion,‌‌it's‌‌of‌‌the‌‌moment.‌‌And‌‌that‌‌doesn't‌‌mean‌‌that‌‌it's‌‌not‌‌ 
important‌‌at‌‌times‌‌to‌‌embrace‌‌trends‌‌and‌‌that‌‌type‌‌of‌‌thing,‌‌but‌‌style‌‌is‌‌less‌‌
 
about‌‌trends‌‌than‌‌it‌‌is‌‌about‌‌how‌‌you‌‌carry‌‌yourself.‌  ‌

 ‌
3. Good‌‌deeds‌-‌ ‌‌fame;‌  ‌

Good‌‌deeds‌‌what‌‌person‌‌does‌‌is‌‌everlasting‌‌,late‌‌actor‌‌come‌‌comedian‌‌sir‌‌vivek‌‌  
was‌‌popular‌‌,‌‌famous‌‌but‌‌even‌‌after‌‌his‌‌demise‌‌his‌‌good‌‌deeds‌‌were‌‌known‌‌by‌‌ 
the‌‌people‌‌where‌‌fame‌‌is‌‌temporary‌‌where‌‌thousands‌‌of‌‌people‌‌are‌‌star‌‌;‌‌as‌‌just‌‌
 
as‌‌stars‌‌,‌‌some‌‌shine‌‌so‌‌bright‌‌for‌‌long‌‌time‌‌some‌‌don't‌‌actually.‌  ‌

 ‌
Fame‌‌is‌‌temporary,‌‌make‌‌it‌‌longterm‌‌by‌‌putting‌‌smiles‌‌on‌‌people's‌‌hearts‌‌and‌‌
 
helping‌‌others‌‌by‌‌expecting‌‌nothing‌‌in‌‌return.‌‌Be‌‌famous‌‌and‌‌unforgettable‌‌for‌‌
 
your‌‌Unconditional‌‌Love.‌‌-‌‌Arsi‌‌nami.‌  ‌
