Afflatus


.... I saw sunlight coming through the clouds ... how pleasant it feels when you see a ray of hope, how satisfying it is.
No one can understand better than a man in difficulty crying for help, like an oasis for a desert traveler ....

Once walking by, I saw group of middle age men sitting on the green grass of the park, and surrounded by few others. When I was looking from way far couldn't figure out what was going on? But that sight was one which I cant forget, which made me realize that there is more to life. When I went closer I saw there were group of blind men surrounded by some elderly people teaching them. When I reached there, one of them started singing, I stopped by for a moment. I heard the whole song. After he sang the applaud given to him was incomparable to any of the singers on earth. It was not due to the fact that he sang so well but he made them cheer and happy from bottom of their heart, the one who was in need. I cant forget the smile on their face.

One cant surmise the life they are going through, but still the smile on their face makes one think that one should be happy for how one is? Most of them think that there is only one person on earth who has the all the problems which is he himself. I would just say take a look around, you may be the happiest person, you just need to figure it out how. It is not the life which should teach you, but the other way round.

If you can make one smile .... then you had made a difference, not only to him but also for you, it is more satisfying than anything else. This is the ray of hope I am talking about, you are the ray hope for the one around you ... just keep your eyes open and you would make a difference.
