You said that you once saw a boy about ten years old in a morning pho restaurant. His father was harsh because he dropped a stick. His mother, instead of scolding him further, just said gently: "It's okay, let's get married to someone else". The words were small, but immediately calmed the air.
Love for family is not only about hugging and kissing, but also about knowing how to restrain yourself, know how to listen, and know how to say "excuses" and "thank you" sincerely. Usually, we can easily forgive strangers, but it is difficult to forgive relatives. Because with relatives, we have to understand them by default.
Peace does not come naturally, it begins from stopping creating small "wars": between husband and wife, parents and children. When there is peace in the house, there must be more peace outside, like the effect of a " butterfly".
Mother Teresa once said: What can you do to build world peace? come home and love your family. A saying that sounds simple, but if you have witnessed someone arguing at home just because the bowl of dipping sauce is too salty, you will understand that "going home and loving" is not easy.
We talk a lot about peace between ethnic groups, religions, and countries, but rarely think that the smallest war begins right at home. An uncontrolled word, a frown, once said, it all overpowered me, so the battle took place right at the meal.
Mother Mother Mother Teresa wants to say that the world is just a large version of every small thing. If our family is full of love, understanding and tolerance, the world will gradually have many "homegrown houses". If everyone in the family insists "I'm right, you're wrong", then God is also limited.
Many people think that loving family is a small matter, not "high enough" to change the world. But imagine, if every house was filled with love, would there be anyone who wanted to hold a gun or write hate speech?
So, every time you see the world out there in chaos, don't rush to judge. Start with the smallest, caring, caring and giving more love to your family from the simplest thing being to sit and eat together without looking at the phone.
