My aim is to learn to live a peaceful life,” the child said.
“I am surprised, do not you want to be something?” the angel asked.
“I want to be a human being,” the child replied.
“But you are a human being. Why do you say that you want to be a human being? Please tell me,” the angel was anxious to know.
“I am told that what should be done, if I do I am told how to do, if I do as told I am asked why I obeyed blindly, if I obey in my own way, I am asked why do not I tell why I do things in my own way. You know, this does not leave me as I am; I feel quenched by everyone except the wise ones. You know the wise people are very humanly they accept others as anybody is. I do not like it when I am not accepted as I am. I do not feel I am a human being. I have the feeling that I lack the qualities and virtues of tolerance of being a human. Please tell me how I can become a human being?” the child asked.
“….,” The angel was silent; two drops of wisdom came out of his eyes.
“Please do not forget that it is easy to be an angel but difficult to be a human. Never forget that it is also very easy to be inhuman but difficulties are like milestones for making of a human. Never forget that you are a human and it will help you to become what you want to be,” the angel smiled.
“Making of a Human; what is it?” the child wondered.
“My child, it is not always making a wish that others should accept you as you are, you see. If you can learn, it is learning for making a human civilized. Well, the civilized means accept your self, as you are others as they are. Learn to change and develop your self, it is the first and the last step, it the beginning without having any end. Is it all right?” the angel smiled.
The child said nothing but smiled with a glowing radiance on its face. Both were looking alike. The angel left his child after telling him the stories of great humans with the hope and wish that the child will be what he wanted to one day.
The child always looks at the sky and knows that the twinkling stars also teach us to blink our eyes with peace on our face.
The Story ends here!
