The big guy hit his son once and the crying started. I could
clearly see the river of tears flowing from the child’s eyes. It was loud, the
crying made others uncomfortable but no one said a word (who wants to be
involved after all). The child was crying out of pain and I thought what if he
was not so small...What if he was a teenager...Would he accept it publicly..Would
he cry off the pain or off the guilt of being hit by his father publicly..? I
had taken a plunge in my random thoughts with the child and the father but then
I saw something unusual.
The MOTHER of the child was crying. Yes she was
definitely crying, it was silent but tears were there. I was standing there
thinking why she was crying. Was it guilt or was it pain? The answer was no,
she wasn’t hit.
It seemed that she felt the pain of her son. She wiped off
the tears off his son and I found a smile on my face. I saw the Mother’s Love. J
