Simpler...

Have you ever felt that life could have been simpler? Well, I have and I really wish life was simpler. I know, I know, that I can't run away from the hard facts and facets of life but I really wish life would be simpler. Nope! I didn't have a bad day today. It was just that I wish everyone would just be nicer to another person, be generous to another, be considerate to another and somehow bring some smile back to the faces of the people. Let it be the people you work with or even with your friends or even the ones you have not known yet. Show some love, show some concern or even show some kindness. The world today is so harsh that even a tiny ounce of goodness will help someone along the way. It is not everyday that you get some one to greet you in the morning or even treat you a cup of coffee but simple gesture like this would help to make your days much brighter indeed. Show some love, man! That's the message I want to bring forward today. Probably this is an irony from a man who has known hard knocks all his life until the Heavenly Father showered His grace upon his life and opened up an entirely new perspective in life. Everyone can lament, sneer and even turn disgust over their life but life can offer more when we give a little back to life. It's call care!

Maybe we may have gone wayward and got caught up in the turbulence of a twisted & sick world but we definitely can make a difference in life if we had taken the trouble to care a little. Maybe, life wouldn't be that complicated or be an utter mess. Once again, I am okay today but I just felt that the world has really gone cold and so are the inhabitants of this world. Hearts are so hardened while smiles had turned into frowns and grouch. It is hard enough for the Eskimoes to live in their harsh cold environment, so why should we still want to live in such coldness and harshness? Even Eskimoes knows how to smile amidst the cold conditions what more for people like us who lives near the Equator. This puzzles me a lot when it comes to human beings.

A female colleague of mine gave me a gift today. It wasn't so much for the gift but the thought of it. I have always made it a point to get something for her during the festive season she celebrates. Somehow, it slipped my mind or I conveniently forgot about it. I know that for the past few years now, I have always made it a point to get something for the ladies in my office before the year end but I have never expected anything in return. I gave the gifts with all my heart and I really wanted to bless their lives. Somehow, today when I received a gift from my colleague, it kinda warms my heart. Like I said, it wasn't the gift. It was knowing that someone else care for you and that brought a lot of cheer. Yunno, care and love goes beyond the color of our skins, the conviction of our religious backgrounds or even our political stands. Care and concern shows the condition of our hearts.We rummaged through our lives in the rat race of financial standing , fame and status that we forget where we stand in the first place. Have we been kind to our neighbour or shown genuine concern to our neighbour?

In this coming holiday season, we can all start to play our roles to make this place we live in more hospitable, more friendly and a little more conscious. We have to stop our selfish and self-centred ways and start living our lives with dignity and good volume of love. Never mind if others won't smile with us or change their mindset. Let the changes start with us and we will see how it can affect others. We must be advocators of love and care. If we fail, we failed miserably. So, start anew and start looking at life in a whole new different perspective in life.

BTW, I would have wanted to be a farmer. So, anyone out there who has a big piece of land for vegetable planting lease?
