Pacifiers Aren’t Just for Babies
Amid the daily whirlwind of life, I often find myself wondering: why? It’s a question we all grapple with as humans, attempting to make sense of the chaos around us. Our brains are wired to seek order, but sometimes that task feels insurmountable. I catch myself asking “why” numerous times a day, yet deep down, I know that the answer may not truly matter, as it often eludes my grasp.
As the Bhagavad Gita wisely states, “You will never untangle the circumstances that brought you to this moment.” In times like these, it’s natural for people to turn towards faith, spirituality, or even unhealthy habits. The uncertainty and chaos of life can be heavy, and it’s tempting to seek solace in phrases like, “It was meant to be,” or “It’s in God’s hands.” I’ve had my moments of reaching for a drink to dull the confusion that seems to intensify with time.
Just last week, my daughter, Lily, decided to set aside her three remaining pacifiers. It was clear she had outgrown them, and I didn’t feel the need to craft a story to ease her transition from this “baby” comfort. But why is that shift looked upon as something negative? We all crave comfort during life’s uncertain moments—I know I do.
What struck me was that Lily wasn’t giving up her pacifiers out of embarrassment; she was doing it out of kindness. Her intention was to donate them to babies in the hospital. There was no promise of reward, only the pure joy of giving something to help those who are in greater need. In that moment, she became a giver, a peacemaker, and it warmed my heart.
