All of us need love and friendly smile and kind words as they are 'few bright threads in the dull fabric of life.'

The other day I wrote a few lines from Thomas Murray for young children. Children are not only stubborn and aggressive some time and they seek purity  of attention. Yes, they need to be noticed and appreciated because they want it and crave for love and approval. They are also possessive. Love locked into our hearts does not reach them unless it is told. It is like a letter written but never posted.

Now a day we do not even write letters but scribble an e mail  in a hurry which is not a substitute for the traditional paper which carried our emotions. In this dehumanized age and hi-tech world, we tend to rein in emotions. We withhold words of love, admiration and approval. How can others know unless we tell them?

It is not just children all of us badly need words love and affectionate smile to fill the void to help fill the vacuums in life so as to come out of depression and despair. I am sure, with the exception of a few  most of us have not done justice to our parents  in one important respect ie we have not sat and spent time and listened to them when they were alive 

Regardless of your age and background- be it intellectual or financial  you are an emotional  being  and hence you need love and affection and recognition for the work. Sweet and gentle words, friendly eyes and purity of attention to children’s woes and their loneliness, will make them energetic. A few words like,”I love you. I am proud of you I am glad you are here” will give more happiness. They are really “ few bright threads in the dull fabric of life.”
