Loving them like ours

Every festive season,there wil be news coverage of orphans or the underprivileged being visited and celebrated.

My heart cries for them.I put myself in their shoes and try to imagine living their life.

My imaginations run wild.I think of them not being able to feel "family life".How they don't experience their traditions and culture better.For an example,when it is Deepavali,there are prayers to be done and some tradition follows to be done on the eve and in the morning.Or celebrate Ponggal,Kartigai and many more.

So young,fragile,innocent and naive.Yet they carry such a pain.

How do they feel when they see other children having so much of love and happiness?

What wrong did they do till they have to endure so much of unhappiness at this young age?

How does their character build having lived in an orphanage?

Never knowing a love of a parent?Never having a family bond?

Many of us want to help out the orphans with clothes, medications, toys, and monetary donations, especially after having seen the needs of those orphanages. Thanks to some good samaritans and community bodies, as well as the increasing help from local government, the orphans can lead a normal life till they are 17 years old.

In the future,when i am able too,i will like to bring back a child or two to celebrate festivals to give them the experience of it.A long time ago,i had seen an advert asking people to just bring back an orphan to their home for a day at least to let them experience celebrating festivals in a family.

Give them love.Give them care.Show them that they are loved.Love them like they are your own child.Love is the most powerful element that can do wonders to a soul.

Don't just wait for celebrities or bodies to help them experience family life.It doesn't mean you have to be rich to do so.Bringing back a child to be with your family during festive season won't take a toll.Love and care doesn't cost you anything.

If everyone does this,imagine how many orphans face will you be able to brighten up.

Looking at their happy faces and smile bring you more joy than celebrating just with your family.

It's pure bliss.Pure satisfaction.Pure happiness.

And it is good for your soul,and the child's.

Infinity.Karma.

    If a child grew up in an orphanage since infancy, I don't think he would miss love of parents as he never had the experience. Sometimes these children are better off than children with parents who quarrel almost everyday and them the poor witnesses to whatever is going on.
