Essence of Christmas



"Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love." - Lao Tzu


We are in that special season again when everything is in full swing parties, shopping, old friends’ get together uncanny as it may seem for some, even the unselfishness in everyone is radiating. 


It was a random post that got my attention one afternoon this week. It is about an old man trying to buy a pair of shoes for his grandson but he doesn't have enough to cover the purchase. What happened next took me unawares.  Someone among those people staring offered to shoulder the payment instead. That is to say a wonderful person - full of the milk of human kindness. And so the child was in seventh heaven a merry Christmas indeed. 


I feel like people are kinder and more accepting this time of the year. I hope every day is Christmas so we would bring out the goodness in ourselves. Giving is not only on material things but also those not seen by the naked eyes. I am in no position to dictate what is essential for us this Christmas, but whatever it is, I am sure that happiness for everyone is what we seek to achieve. Merry Christmas!
