The Lights of Hugging

"The souls who are rarely touched and hugged", that's the dominant feature of many restless and angry souls. They are not only less touched by the arms, they are also less touched by the touching actions like kindness, sincerity and honesty.

Parents who are too busy to earn a living, the school which is full of problems, leaders who are care only for their interest have created psychological and spiritual environment which make life like dry season here and there. That is the reason why there are dry souls everywhere who are thirsty of attention and compassion.

And the dry season of life is not a moment to burn a fire by producing a lot of anger, but rather an invitation to sprinkle the holy water of hugging, acceptance and compassion as much as possible.

Not many people who are blessed to be as famous as Mother Teresa, not many people who are blessed to be as bright as Nelson Mandela, or as humble as Mahatma Gandhi,  but all people bring the small candles in the heart, which is ready to be kindled anytime and anywhere.

Therefore, no matter how small our candle is, let's begin to turn the candle in a place where there is less wind. And to be honest, that place is family. Mainly because family is a social environment where we know each others deeply.

Being illuminated by the light of inspiration like this, it is worthy to contemplate again and again to take good care of the family like taking good care of the garden. It is similar to remove the weeds in the garden. You may remove the weeds today, but on the other day the weeds appear again and again.

The naughty children, the imperfect spouse, the angry parents are like weeds. Although you keep reminding the members of family, but those imperfections appear again and again. However, no matter how bad the weeds of imperfections appear in the family, but never tired to make it better from time to time.

Some people complain of being tired, some others are really angry, but there is no other option except continuously touch the family members using the hands of acceptance, forgiveness and compassion.

Unlike the pharmaceutical drugs which cure only the treated, the last approach of healing heal both the treated and the healers. The more sincere you touch and hug the others, the more you spread the vibrations of healing and peace everywhere.

In a simple but profound language, it is not how big your actions, but rather how much sincerity that you put in your actions. To make it more concrete: "if you want to be loved by the children, love their mother. If you want to be respected by the children, respect their father". In this way, you are not only sending more light to the future, but you also send more light the darkness within.
