Magical hands

You have magical hands. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Why are you smiling?

I just remembered this other pair of hands. It's very similar to mine. Those hands are magical too. In their own ways.

How is it so?

He creates magic with words. That's all i can say!

Oh! Anyway, thank you for relieving my pain. I was suffering.

No worries. I'm just helping you as a friend. I don't do this for everyone.

I see. It was at the tip of my tongue to ask if you could help some others.

You see, it's quite a simple thing. I don't quite have the time. I'm very packed with my work. I believe when i run into you and you highlight your problems i should help you in some ways. I will not put up a banner and continue this as a business.

Not everyone can heal people.

There are enough doctors in town. Trained masseuse. People can go there. My duty is to mould children. Not children of the world but those around me. I believe my children will be good examples and continue helping more people.

But often you look lost and forlorn.

I am lost. I've lost plenty in life but life goes on. I have lots of love and compassion to give everyone around me.

You don't want to fall in love!

Falling in love is just that, it's a fall. One will get hurt. Getting hurt is not in my agenda. I like to change peoples lives. Make them happy. Solve materialistic issues. Create independent single mothers.

I can see that. There's quite an uproar from some who dislike your ways. The widows from their households driving cabs and working in saloons. There are some old people who seem quite angry with you. You're smiling again!

I'm just smiling at our oldies' ignorance and selfishness. For now I'm ignoring them. Unless someone comes yelling to my doorstep, I'm not going to do much about it.

Are you contented with all you do? Don't you get tired, depressed, wanting to give up?

Of course it happens. For fifteen years i lived doing nothing. Almost like a vegetable. Did my duties. Then i realized there are people who are down and need help. I have the capacity to change children's lives by changing the adults around them. There are some people who give me the needed energy. There is one or two persons' energy which i absorb. There's one person whom i talk to. He seems to motivate me a lot. If he can do it, I can too. And then, there's the good God. He doesn't ever let me down. You understand what I'm saying?

Yes. So, how do i become better in life?

Its mainly our lifestyle. Look into it. Read about healthy living. Apply it. That's all there is to it.

Healthy living?

Eat balanced food, sleep well, drink lots of water, rest, most importantly, exercise. That's our folks' biggest weakness. They feel they work hard enough so they don't need to do more exercise.

Exactly my perception. Isn't that so? Furthermore, I don't have the time.

Work tires you. It doesn't pump your heart. You need cardio awakening activity. Please find time. One should also have recreational activities. Choose an old passion. Join a group. Dance or sing or play an instrument.

At this age?

Yes, why not? Nobody is asking you to become a professional maestro or anything.  You know in my Latin class there are many older men and women. And I'm the only Indian. The rest are all Chinese.

Hmmm. I'd make some changes. Thanks for the massage and the advise. I feel physically and mentally revived.

You're welcome. Start living life. Have a wonderful day. And all the best.
