Both China and North Korea are threats for their neighbouring countries. |
(I) What do we make of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to New Delhi? On the one hand, it followed an of trepeated pattern in Indian diplomacy: lots of fine-sounding statements and little by way of action on the ground. On the other, the language marks a significant shift in positions of both countries, which may mark a bright future, but which could equally also be dead ends due to structural limitations. |
(II) That the India-Japan alignment is 'natural' to begin with stretches credibility. Japan's foreign policy positions, be it on nuclear proliferation, regime change, Russia or West Asia, are almost diametrically opposite to India's. The only real glue in this relationship is a shared fear of China ? now considerably exacerbated due to the scale and nature of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), its ongoing support of regional rogue states like North Korea and Pakistan, and most visibly a dramatic increase in Chinese assertiveness. |
(III) On the nuclear front, there were two distinct patterns. The first was the harsh condemnation of 'North Korea and its suppliers. And, on the other, an anodyne platitude on the entry into force of the India-Japan nuclear deal. What was surprising here was the sharpness of the language condemning North Korea. This served Japan's interests by getting India, North Korea's second- largest trade partner, to abandon it, possibly for good. |

Gratification of inner life is more important than that of outer life. |
(I) In Hebrew, the word for life is Chayim, because each of us live two separate lives. We lead an outer and an inner life. It is not enough to have an upwardly mobile outer life: house, car and bank balance. It is not satisfying unless a person also has a richer inner life filled with meaning and purpose. |
(II) Often, we find people who have nothing, but who are very happy because they have a rich, spiritual inner life. They have wonderful relationships. They know they are needed and have never lost their integrity. For this, we must know that we are needed. That is why marriage is stressed in all religions because we all need to be needed. When you marry, you are telling that person that you need him physically, emotionally and spiritually. Both parties must acknowledge that they need each other. |
(III) All religions teach us that love, dedication, devotion, compassion, care and concern are important. And that, ultimately, material success is fleeting; that only the things that you have in your heart and mind stay with you forever and that relationships are more important than money. |

(II) A task that seems impossible to be completed |
(III) A task that brings beauty honour and grandeur |
