Romance always fascinates me. Whether it is in real life or a story, I am a lover of true love. Here is a love letter written by a student of class 6 to his Ex. Girlfriend from the same class (Real incident).
“Please accept love and best regards from the deepest core of my heart. Here I am longing to meet you. I hope and pray that one day we will surely meet. Wish you all the best for everything you do in life. I hope you have done well in your exam. Take care and keep smiling- X.B.F”
What do you feel about this letter? Certainly, you all will feel differently about it. One may have read it with appreciation, another with anguish etc. However, I do not wish to go in to the negative aspects of this incident at this juncture. I hope highlighting of few lessons that we could learn from the writings of an 11 year old boy would be more appropriate at this moment.
It is a common practice among adults to involve in mudslinging when relationships go sour. Even courts become battle fields in divorce cases for many couples and they seldom think about the innocent children who bear the brunt of the conflicts. But it is amazing to see that not a single word of hatred is expressed by the young boy. In fact he happily extends his best wishes to the girl for whatever she does in her future life.
I am happy to see his positive attitude and outlook towards life. Even though he became her ‘Ex-Boy Friend’, he still looks forward to meet her someday. Most of us, matured adults, have lost the positive attitude that the boy possesses in the murky sea of egoism. What a wonderful world it would be if we could shed the heavy ego we carry on our shoulder and have positive and cheerful attitude in our life?
The child who wrote this letter studies in a school where most of the students come from socially, economically and educationally backward families. The general academic performance of these students is average and below average. But I am surprised by the beauty and simplicity of the language used by the young boy in expressing his feelings to his beloved. This clearly shows that every child can perform well if they are properly motivated, and it is our duty to motivate them to learn the academic subjects with interest and curiosity.
Aww it's such a sweet letter. But clearly the boy is still in 'love' with this little girl. The agony starts after this letter is not replied back in the way he wants it to.
ReplyDeleteBut I hope he really is as lovely as this letter and means everything he said.
Let him learn more lessons for life from the agony. I hope he will definitely learn to cope with the disappointments of life.
ReplyDeleteThe depiction of innocent world,devoid of agony ,anticipation and more or less a beautiful mind.Sometimes we adults despite of having everything in life lack in everything. As we grow older we lose happiness in everything.. and that's when we have to take a look at the carefree and pure heart like that of a child. Its truly well said that love is pure,love is kind,love is hope and love is all about forgiving.. and these are something which we adults cant remember.. but the child easily do it..and taught the good lesson to the most grown up and it is in fact worth pondering at it ,if we at all wants to take that chance...
ReplyDeletea chance to happiness, a chance to count all the blessings and a bigger chance to live bondage free, like that of a child.To love so dearly to be able to forgive and wishing the best for the love ones that we care after all love teaches us everything from kindness to forgiveness.
your article though depicted from a simple incidence yet questions the genuine love that we hold.It questions us whether we see beauty in life even when it is not pretty everyday.And if you can source your own life from its presence.
with great regards,

Thank you Liten for your comments.Let us hope that we will learn to see beauty in life even when it is not pretty everyday.With Regards.
ReplyDeleteThe boy is really sweet.He really loved the girl at some point of time.The letter written by him can teach us a lesson specially in circumstances where we give more importance to our ego than any relationship.
ReplyDeleteThank u Ananya. It's true that our ego drives out wonderful moments of our life and we realise it when it becomes too late.
