The love that is family

We are who we are. Each one of us is unique. Imbibed with tremendous potential, physically, mentally and emotionally. In spirit, we spread beyond every consciousness and can accomplish great feats if we set ourselves to it. Great leaders have come and gone. Gandhi, Abraham Lincon, Nelson Mandela. Great spirits have taught people to love and cherish, unceasingly. .Mother Teresa, Buddha, Krishna.

Some chose to go their own way, alone and help the worldly family at large and some do so while living with their close loved ones. And yet, each man can be called great in himself or herself, for simply attempting to live a normal life, for caring for our small set of loved ones in itself is no small task. Simply because then, it is not about how much we give, but for how long. All our lives, we live to see our family happy. And that is the summary of our lives. All in all, all of us have the opportunity to become the great spirits we aim to be.

Love has no substitute. And no one can love like the family. It may consist of one or more people, but a home with someone to care for you unconditionally, is the greatest asset of mankind.

The beauty of a being part of a family is, the more love you give, the stronger or wider your family grows. You can chose to make your bonds stronger. Or you can chose to make your bonds wider, with one thing certain, you cannot go wrong.

Unfortunately, we always come across people torn emotionally and mentally with strife. Living their lives with great suffering, very void of care and love. Fate may have dealt a blow to some and others simply succumb to their ego. They have either lost their family, or their family has lost them. A great vaccum fills their lives then. Possessing every concievable material element, they still feel empty within.

For those who are fortunate enough that your loved ones, your family are still around, it is a prayer, that you realise and return to them. Return every moment of joy with increased joy, every action of love with more love. And for those who are unfortunate for not having family inked in blood, spread your love and make a family.
