Freedom from Hate

Freedom from Hate

How many of you have those sulky days. Where you feel totally frustrated in life and hate everything around you, you hate yourself, your choices in life, you blame god, blame people close to you and you feel totally lonely. I think all of us, at some juncture in life have sensed these agonizing emotion. You wish you could set yourself free from such perturbations. You need some elation which will help you overcome all this despair. But alas, most time either we just repress it completely, until it comes back with a domino effect or we succumb to the remorse, acting, pretending, and faking to be happy.

And life goes on, until little, merry moments in life make us feel little livelier. Infinitesimal speck of joy is enough to make us revived. And by filling our baskets with such few nucleons of jollity, whoopee, hilarity the atom of zeal within us survives. The humanness within us survives. The ability to love others survives. The willingness, eagerness to explore life survives. The positivity within us slowly blooms again. The child within us starts giggling again. A little spark of tenderness, lights up the flame of zing in us.

Imagine a day where you are feeling glum, depressed, angry, and dispirited.  And then a true genuine smile from any person, what difference does it make? Huge isn’t it. Suddenly you feel a bit calm, bit relaxed. For a moment at least the bitterness within you vanishes, and you feel little positive. May be it’s just a spur of moment, but what a big difference it makes. The pessimistic attitude to change to optimistic outlook, sometimes just needs a kind heart to smile at you. So why can’t we have a hate free international day. It may sound as crazy as it can be. But if a smile can have such huge impacts on lives unknown to you, why can’t we celebrate it. Our heart is smart enough to identify the trueness in smiles, why can’t we dedicate a day for it, just to remind people to smile at faces unknown.

The warmth of a caring smile has the power to erase the hate in others.
