Impact Of A Soul To A Soul From A Soul

The end of Chinese New Year was marked by Chap Goh Mei, the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Chinese valentine’s days, yesterday. The end of this year’s Lunar New Year was marked by a dinner with the family members. A very satisfying and very happy end to the festivities which had been going on during this whole 15 days of joy.

Prior to the dinner we had a very big gathering at one of my uncle’s house. It was like the whole family and relative kind of gathering which spans to about 25 persons. It was a lot of fun having such a big crowd chit chatting and playing at one location. I am very happy that we are able to rejoice and gather for such occasions, even though two generations are involved, everyone was happy and able to blend in.

Sometimes when I look back at my family tree or something like that, I find that we are not of the big tree but in the medium of everything. We are not very rich, we are not of big family trees, but just enough so to speak. It’s sad that sometimes we see some families, fighting against each other even during such occasions where “reunion” is the main theme. Some family members does not even speak to each other for like umpteen of years, which in turn effects the next generations. Their offsprings does not even know each other or might be poisoned to think that they are no good. It is often enough that when adults quarrel or something like that, automatically the other party and everyone related to them are no good. But they sometimes forgot that they are related as well!

I had been rebellious before, bad tempered, moody and stuff like that, but I m a forgetful person as well. It’s just so often that I would be angry and mad at something or someone, but then I can be hugging them a while later. I think my forgetfulness is a gift which I cherish. Bundled with it for me is forgiveness. I think holding grudges and hatred is just a bit too much for me. It’s not easy to be hate someone as it take up so much energy and concentration.

I just feel happy that I can forgive and forget and that my family, relatives and even some of my friends can do that. I think that is why I am cheerful like a happy go lucky person all the time. I am thankful that my environment has been able to shape me in such a way. As for some others which are not so lucky, I do wish that you can find cheers from other unselfish people. As for those who are still at war especially with family and relatives, do think of your younger generations. Learn to forgive and forget, so that everyone can live a better and cheerful life.

Why waste your life with miserable thoughts, hatred and grudges? When you can live harmoniously with family, relatives and friends.

You make the choice!!
