Yesterday I happened to see a small boy...say 5 years old. Thrilled -- exuding happiness from every inch of his body... The reason, so simple-his mother was giving him a ride on her bicycle...
Sitting behind her on the carrier of the bike, the way he smiled at me, so to say ... 'See see - Look at me...I'm so special!!!..My mom's giving me a ride on her bike!!!'
As he tightly held on to her with both hands,head rested on her back.., she told him to keep his legs away from the bicycle wheel...one round and then another...the smile didn't diminish a wee-bit....
So much contentment on his face..that image is etched in my mind...
In this big world as we grow up, why do these small things, that used to make us so happy not exist any more...why are we always on the lookout for something 'more'...
Have we lost them somewhere in the quest for some other materialistic things?
Have we forgotten the meaning of contentment...
When was the last time I really felt happy..?
When was the last time I felt on top-of-the-world..?
When was the last time I wanted to show off and say... "See-I'm so special!"
Are these questions answered for any of us..?
