Being A Child
This early morning, I have in my heart a call that I would like to share and answer.As I go through everyday, I walk through life, many things happen. Nice things happen, and not so nice things happen. Well for me, I have been so blessed to not have much issues (maybe I do but God is great), I get to sit at the sidelines and watch instead. Increasing I feel and I know that there is such a simple solution to all our issues and problems and dilemmas and guilt and how to just live better.
HOW???
Just... be a child again.
Be like a little child, a little boy or girl again. Put down all the worldly burdens, all the expectations of everyone. Go back to when you were pure and innocent. Without a care, when there was no bias or discrimination, no judgement or hate, know nothing but of love, love nothing but all a child loves. Honour as a child would. Give as a child would. Live as a child would. Love as a child would.
Imagine the possibilities, what I propose may sound a little farfetched, but I have good reason to suggest it. Picture an office, and if everyone acted like a child, gone are the politics, backstabbing, discrimination, selfishness. Often we work towards peace and harmony in a social circle. Examine closely the ways to achieve that and one will find that it corresponds with qualities a child would have.
It seems like an easy thing to do, to become childlike again. But in reality, it is really difficult. Personally, it is like choosing between keeping the last piece of sweet for yourself and offering it to people who matter less, even people you don't like. What would you do?
I have been so blessed, I have come to a point that it is natural for me to always think of others and put others before myself. It is indeed a fortunate thing, that I can bless others in this way. It is small, sometimes it is sacrificing what you really want, but knowing that someone else may be able to experience a small slice of heaven (sugar rush in this context) over me, makes me feel more satisfied than if I'd saved it for myself. It is so hard to describe, it strikes your heart and very soon, you'll be doing it like it was the most natural thing in the world.
But it's not just sacrifice, it's other things as well. Basically, love needs to go around. It's not that there's not enough love, there are not enough messengers. If we just love everyone, put them in front of ourselves, care for them, then the world would be a better place. But that will never happen entirely, so there is a place I'm waiting to go to, where everything is perfect.
Right now, I feel that it is time to end this post. I know it's not a home run. This is what 6 hours of sleep can do to you; make one write in flow with one's erratic train of thoughts. Today's one of the worse days to think. Enjoy yourselves this new year!
