KATHMANDU, FEBRUARY 20The existence of individual human beings is known as life
Every human being has their own life and definition of life
What they see and experience about life is what they believe to be true
What is good or bad is all based on your surroundings and your memory.

Time is divided into the past, present and
But what we think of as the past is all that our memory is telling us about
In other words, any event or thing in our memory helps us to break it into the past, present or future

always create positive effects
Usually what you are aware of in day-to-day life is what is creating more for you to feel it
