Rain drops



The raindrops settle on surfaces differently. 

The raindrops acquire different shapes and sizes close to each other on a glass surface of the car. The second photo is of the raindrops on the painted surface of the car, which IS distinctly different in appearance. 

It caught my attention as how different surfaces receive the raindrops!

There is an emotional milieu in each of us, which determines how we receive words and thoughts into our consciousness!

I have been growing in greater consciousness about this reality of late. 

During the recent national election season, I sensed that leaders spoke publicly unmindful of the way they might be received. There was an abusive language in the public space, which to me was an embarrassment, as they were the frequent utterances from leaders of high standing. 

It is the same we watch in the TV dialogues. I feel disturbed that the anchors give leadership to such a practice of speech that jar in the listener's ears!

What is life and living, if we live without this awareness of how what we say fall in the listener's ears!

Even the the criticism we make of others can be turned into upbuilding others. That is how we demonstrate our 'neighbour friendly attitude' to others. 

Every time I hear the words of parents describing the 'undesirable' behaviour of their children at home or school, I sense an harshness, rather than sympathy! How I wish that parents would care to consider that the so called undesirable behaviour of children might be a defence process of children to survive in adverse circumstances! 

What might be acceptable to one child, might not be so for another child. So conversations and corrections ought to be formed corresponding to the temperament and coping skills of children.
