Love is the Essential Element


Once upon a time lived an old man who begged for a living in a busy town. He lived by a roadside full of individuals who rushed for their own chores. 

Passersby would often walk from far because of the stench from this man, they would even make faces and comment. The old man had lost his family and turned his life into this mess, he was never like this when he lived his life before that. 


One day he decided to go to settle in another place, he thought may be a small town where I can settle under a shade of a tree. He meandered his way around to look for a suitable location and found one in a small town. Soon after he began to realise that in that town too there were many young individuals who gave a dislike look on his face and the elderly showed him pitty. The old man felt he lost hopes of finding a place where he felt accepted. There was a wise man in that town who met the old man one day and aksed him about who he was and where he had come from. After gathering his thoughts he offered the old man some occupation to do and also asked him to start learning a new skill to do that. The wise man acted as an enabler to shift perspective and life went on. After a few days the old man saw the difference in the way people approached him. They flocked around him and did not shy conversing. They offered him food and in return the old man would help them in their chores too. 


Just after the wise man gave him the emotional support and hurled some wise words at the old man, his life changed. 


Life changes if support is provided and people are treated with love and affection. To let a plant grow, it needs nurturing and it will flourish. So many people show disgrace to another human being and disrespect their identity. This is not a reflection of who they are, it is a reflection of who you are that you treat others with love and respect. It changes the way people look at themselves.
