RENAISSANCE

RENAISSANCE

Where it’s strongly believed that life is short, we seldom realize that we are blessed with the gift of living two lives in one lifetime. How? It’s very simple. Kids. It’s with kids that life returns. Our life finds a new beginning, a new meaning, a new purpose. A new life.     

Surely, we must have looked the same way when we were born, let out the same cry. Only we do not remember all this. Our parents must have felt the same joy. Imagine the quiet sleep, the toothless smile flashing suddenly for no reason at all. The soft touch that makes you forget the hardships of life. The time you spend playing with your little one, it feels so priceless. And for once, you don’t even think of complaining about the late hours you keep. Every time your little one cries, you feel scared like a baby. On the other hand, laughter echoes when your baby makes its first attempt to crawl, to walk, to speak. And that’s the time you won’t bother how old you are. You’ll just let your happiness show and not limit the expression of your love. Don’t you think there’s pure innocence in these emotions? The same innocence that your beloved baby symbolizes.

So let’s rejoice about this. Because somewhere along the way of life, our innocence has corrupted. Our way of thinking has coloured. We find it very difficult to notice the beauty of life, to be carefree. And above all, to be happy that we are alive. Probably, that’s why we are given a second chance, in the same life. And a beautiful one at that. It’s definitely more than we could ever ask for. So at best, we should treasure it. And live in a way that shows how glad we are to be born again.
