The old toys.

I remember as a kid I was really possessive of my toys . I used to take care of them and would take them to sleep with me. I poured too much love till my parents used to buy me a new toy. Now my mother would put all my old toys in a carboard box and keep it aside . And after some time I would forget about it and would be busy playing with new one. I have a fade memory that one day my mother took out those toys and were talking about giving them away to some kids ,I overheard the conversation and ran towards the storeroom to grab all of those . My mother asked me why would you want to keep these old toys you no longer want? I haven't seen you playing with them since a while nor I have heard you say anything about them. I screamed ok I may not be playing but I won't let any other kid to play with them either. Now when I think it was such an act of selfishness , Although my mother later on without telling me gave those toys away. I wish she had taught me how important it is to let go of the old things .I learned this know-how but it took some time.

I think our generation lack this very capability of letting go of the old things even though we get new things in life and by" things'' I do mean'' people''. We forget that there is a difference between toys and humans. Please lets teah our kids someday that how important it is not to keep the things that do not belong to us. they are someone else's keeping. So smile and let go.
