Theme : A laundress
(Double click any word to find its meaning)

To have a access to your heart your nature should be full of benignity, if not you will meet with a casualty and you will be left with a decrepit feeling. Your effrontery will create a distance from others where as your generosity will be felicitated. But be sure not to be a henchman while trying to have generosity. Your malevolent nature will only be a hindrance. A laundress who is trying to satiate herself by having a nectarine, is very much temporal though she might be considered down-market. She lives a life which is much better than pantomimes that high class crowds perform in their lives : a real example of realism. Though their cars have effulgence their lives are dull. Though they may have dedication to achieve their goals and make money, most of the parts of their souls are not accessible, filled with cataclysm of negative emotions, and they don't have the benison of peace. In contrast the life of the laundress seems to that of an empress.
