Family in Love

Family in Love

Love is a decision not and not based on one’s likes or dislikes. We live in a world with billions of people. However, each person lives around limited number of people. For example: family, school, college, work-place, faith-community, colony and so on and so forth. It can be further narrowed down to family which is the very foundation of the society; one can also take it in a metaphorical sense for any close human relationships. The challenge here is to create an environment of love in the family.  

There are two obvious problems that occur in life: external and internal problems. The former applies to the sicknesses, financial difficulty, and misfortunes, while the latter refers to the misunderstanding, suspicion and breakdown in relationships. Human beings are more affected by the internal problems. When there is love among the family members, the external problems are easy to bear together. Today, most of the families become prey to the internal problems, in some way or the other.  There is misunderstanding between spouses, disrespect for parents, quarrel between parents and children, selfishness, and insincerity. In this atmosphere, no one is going to be truly happy. Can anyone who does not love his or her own family member love the other with whole heart? It is a difficult question. Nevertheless, if love begins from oneself and family, then joy and happiness is guaranteed even in the midst of suffering and hardships.

In simple acts of daily life, one can infuse love in and around his or her little world. Every person is different and special, so respecting the other in word and deed is a requisite in building good relationships. It is also important to give time to one another for in this way, one’s presence itself becomes a gift. People can manage their business but everyone needs a heart that listens without making any value judgement. Kind words, gentle encouragement, helping hand, and sensitivity will do well in contributing to the growth of love in the family.

Be in love...Create love wherever you are...Be the salt giving taste to life...Life is worth living when there is love...
