One of my favourite hobby as
kid was be to fill the ice tray with water, trouble the water by
checking it so much that it can never turn into ice, until my mom forbids me to go near the refrigerator anymore. Then
I would still sneak in after sometime and find that they have finally become
ice. Twist and all the ice tumbles down. I used to take one or two of them, run
to our backyard and throw them forcefully on ground. Because of the heat and
the force it will break and scatter. Within a matter of minutes, it would melt
and evaporate. It used to be so beautiful to look at. They make wonderful
patterns as they break. Once I walked upon those melting beauties, then reality
struck. I cut myself. It was rather a shallow one, a broken piece pierced and
melted away.
Thinking back about that incident, I realized that people
whom we encounter are like water. They sometimes
they become ice under pressure or an emotional trauma that they are put
through - they harden. No love (or no heat as in the case of water) makes them become cold and emotionless. They feel
no remorse even as they zap through other’s emotions. We find many people being
mean and cruel towards others, we often wonder why; sometimes looking beyond the
apparent reactions proves healthy. However, a little love, can make the person
realize who they are; just like a little heat can make ice become water again.
Love all, for it makes the world move on! Everyone and
everything can be changed with love. Plants grow faster, molecules bond better
and stronger with caring words spoken to them. Such is the power of love.
*Disclaimer – Love here includes all forms and kinds of love
that brings joy to others; it definitely doesn’t include actions of a few who
claim to ‘love’ but hurt others (pretty knowingly) for eternity.*
