Be the Sunshine for the person breathing inside a grave...

Hope you’re staying well at whatever place you’ve chosen to keep yourself protected. I am also fine and sheltered at my beloved home for which I long whenever I couldn’t be there. It has been quite a long period since I haven’t talked to you guys. So, today I am going to talk about “How we can help each other without being helpers but just being patient and kind?”

I just want to share my feelings that most of us find hard to share with people we know (I guess, so) or with someone we live with. You must have heard all of us complaining about the people we live with or know: sometimes their tiny bad habits or sometimes the sound they produce while sleeping or eating. But these things don’t bother us, right? Perhaps we think that this is what is adjustment. Sadly, sometimes, this adjustment starts creating a dark shadow on our mind and gradually it takes an eerie form. And at that point we couldn’t do anything; we’re left helpless. I believe accepting others' decisions is a kind move but letting those decisions made by them ruin us and them too, is painful. I don’t want to complain about the people and things I am captured with right now because we all have our problems and we all are trying to deal with them in the best possible way. However, it is not easy to let our soul wander in these situations alone; it needs support not a materialistic one but an invisible one that comforts it and revives the will to handle the pressure or heal the wounds that it gets. This thing would only be possible by helping each other; that’s why God brings people in our life.

One of the ways to help a person in pain is to just listen to his thoughts and not interrupting him by adding about how many problems you are surrounded with at that time. It is good to relate to someone’s story with yours but there is the right situation in which we should try to do this. As sometimes hearing the other person’s list of problems overwhelm that person. He might not say anything to you but somehow a wave of helplessness starts rising in his mind. That’s why it is better to just let his thoughts come out without any interruption. Another way to do so is to just ask them what he likes to do. If we encourage them to retry those things that he used to enjoy earlier, it might be possible that just bringing this thing in conversation would help him to relive those past moments when he was happy. It would bring a hidden smile on his face that he and you, both were trying to meet with for a long time. We all just need to be with each other not always physically present around them but just letting them feel that we are always sending positive vibes to them in an envelope that we’ve sealed with a password “Open with new hope and sunny smile”.

I hope we all help at least one person to bring him out of his gloomy and monotonous dead life. Ending today’s message with the hope that we all stay happy and make others too.
