Precious Gifts
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Today being mother's day, I'd like to talk about the gifts we can give, and why giving is so beautiful. In a true relationship, one should never go in thinking give-and-take as this expectation can lead to disappointment when the other person fails to return the favor back. Why put such unrealistic conditions on your happiness with the other person. Why not feel honored that you have a chance to render service to another human being? Someone who is brought into this world as a miraculous gift to some set of parents. Someone who is, or can be, the most precious gift as a friend. Someone who is seeking out a meaning in life in the same way you are. Why care if he/she is Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, agnostic, athiest, or otherwise? Is he/she not your brother/sister at heart? We all go through this life looking for a precious love, someone to show our affection to without inhibition. A love that will "go down in the record books". So why waste your life waiting for it? Even if the action is small, such as rendering some advice, if you invest it with love of your fellow brother/sister, then it can not fail to make a positive impression on that person's life. They may not acknowledge it right then, but on their deathbeds as they sit thinking back on life, you will come to mind for the loving care you invested in each interaction with that person. Think what wonders the world would achieve if those same people who commit suicide are given a healthy dose of love from every person they meet. Think what tragedies would have been stopped if the Stalin's, Hitler's, and Caeser's of the world had experienced love from every person they met. Would they have become so desperate for attention, or felt so downtrodden? Would they have acted out so violently if they knew they were loved? Ask yourself these questions and find your mother a gift that you take your time preparing. Invest every ounce of love into the giving of that gift. Watch the smiles bloom, and feel the sun shine with a new zeal.
