Our soul needs food of good thoughts and actions, as our stomach does of tasty foods. Here are my thoughts on some values/experiences. If you can relate to at least one, then act upon it. Take it as a challenge. We humans love challenges. Unfortunately, we act or do things mostly for others. Try to do something for the satisfaction of yourself, your soul. For a change, let us sleep with a smile of satisfaction on our faces.
We listen to the tiniest whispers
of our soul in solitude. Nevertheless we can hear these in a crowd too, just keep your ears open. Let us listen to these whispers, act upon and try our best to protect and save our souls. Ultimately, a peaceful soul sleeps well.
I have shared my thoughts on some experiences, feelings and situations in life. You are free to share yours too.
I have seen humans walking past a hungry dog without a trace of concern on their face. Why such a cold attitude? Humans have a blessing to think and act. Buy a container and a pack of milk or biscuits and feed the dog. ( Though the natural foods for dogs is meat ). Read More
These things are available in our surroundings, most of the time. If you are sure to come across one, carry it with you.
I am saying this by experience. Once on my way back to home after work I saw a hungry dog. Inspite of the minimal number of stray dogs around us, its sad that they go to sleep without food, many times. I went to a shop nearby, purchased a pack of milk. I carry small bags in my purse so that I can feed animals with water or food if needed. So I took out the bag and gave some milk to him. He drank it at once. Feeding him brought a smile on my face after the long tiring work hours. The joy I got was eternal.
Its an easy task, isn’t it? It takes less than a minute to feed a soul. So why not do it next time you see one.
When I say hunger,
its a natural trait of all animals. So do feed a hungry animal next time you see one. Let me clarify here. There are some humans who keep animals tied. For example in India, a cow is tied to a pole so that humans feed her. Sorry to say its not at all due to love for the cows, but merely to earn some merits in their ‘karma’ humans do so. Instead of feeding a tied cow, try to free her from the clutches of those evil people, if you know the means to do so.
When we are blessed with the privelege of eating what we want, when we want, let us make a hungry voiceless animal happy by feeding him, next time we come across one. Hunger is a feeling which drives a living soul crazy and helpless. read the last sentence again. As our stomach need tasty, healthy foods so also do the other living things.
Empathy
A rare one in today’s generation. As a teacher I have come in contact with hundreds of kids. Since last four to five years, the kids I have come across are very cold and practical. The mere reason, lack of empathy in them. To feel what the other person feels is difficult, not impossible. Read More
Parents have two options, along with delivering the duties of earning money, be aware of how your child is growing up. Or else focus on the business of earning only money, ignoring the conditions in which your child is growing up. People choose the latter as its convenient. Some even have the guts of declaring that the child will learn from trial and error method. What if the error damages a part of his personality for the lifetime?
Then comes
the next safer escape. ‘It’s meant to be like that’. ‘It’s destined.’
Making a child empathetic is as easy as making a curry in kitchen or signing papers in office. The only thing needed here is a little patience and will. Though finding that will itself is missing in today’s parents. They are scared to make their children empathetic. The fear that the child might not be able to face this tough competitive world, with an empathetic heart is one of the reasons of an empathy free upbringing.
Apparently, moulding a child into an empathetic human is completely a choice of the parents. The question is why are they not doing it?
Finally, moulding a child into an empathetic human is completely a choice of the parents. The question is why are they not doing it? To feel what the other living thing feels is exactly the need of the hour.
