Its quite surprising that we do not notice the few small things which happen every day. My mom wakes up from her sleep to make my meal and doesn’t sleep until I atleast start eating. The most unusual thing is usually we don’t even appreciate her the effort she has made to feed us, to see the smile on our face. But if the same happened at our work, we get furious about it, make a fuss, put our papers down and feel if the sky is falling on us.
Given the fact that we share that kind of relationship without beloved ones, we also need to give a thought that they are individuals as we are. But we fail to do it. Why? Is it because we have changed so much that we are shy to give a good night kiss to our parents/siblings only because we are so called grown ups! Is it because we have got ourselves laid with some one which makes us superior? (Are we actually superior?) Is this called growing up? The answer lies in our heart but we prefer to live in denial which makes us all the more foolish. In the years of life we live, if we are able to add few smiles, few gestures of love, few moments of time,though we cant promise hassle free lfe but we will have minimum hassles and more enjoyable life.
This calls for the attention that it’s all small things and small gestures which make the difference. It’s just not the affection but also that small little observations on one self, will help us understand more of ourselves. For instance, there was this one particular day where the fuel on my bike was on reserve and I was consciously aware that I might run out of fuel at any time. But just taking it for granted made me push my bike for a while. Lucky I, the bike stopped somewhere close to my house and the weather was pleasant. What if the conditions were different? I am not arguing that we should think about the unhappened. The point is that, these small things tell us a lot about ourselves. To save the so called self respect, it’s required that we attend to these and accept our faults.
Give it a thought.
