A forgotten gift

I think the greatest gift that we as human beings are blessed with, is the power to make someone happy. The feeling that one gets on seeing that special smile, from that one small gesture, is priceless. It makes you feel as if you have actually made a difference to someone, changed the way their day would shape up, and that makes every effort worth it!

A smile, a small compliment, a gesture to say u care-it doesn’t really take much to make someone happy. Yet, it doesn’t come easy to most of us. It takes such an effort to think of other people, even when it’s required… Why are we so hard-shelled? Why does suspicion and deceit precede caring and thoughtfulness? Its amazing how easily we throw away the gifts God has blessed us with, and then complain about how little we have.

I think we all need to learn to love others, and remember that humanity is not just about avoiding war, and contributing to society-its about smaller things…about loving others, and showing it. It’s about making life more wonderful each day for everyone around you. And this is something we all need to be reminded of.
