As life unfolds in its beautiful chaos, I often find myself pondering the question, “Why?” It’s part of our human nature to seek understanding and create order from the disorder around us. This instinct to inquire is something we all share. Yet, I realize that the true “why” may elude me, existing in a realm beyond my comprehension.
In the spirit of the Bhagavad Gita, “You will never untangle the circumstances that brought you to this moment.” It’s natural, then, for individuals to seek solace in faith, spirituality, or even unhealthy habits. The unpredictable nature of life can draw us toward anything that might lighten our burdens. I’ve been there myself, echoing thoughts like, “It was(n’t) meant to be,” or “It’s in fate’s hands,” or even “Forget this; I could use a drink.” These are coping mechanisms for the intricate pain that life often brings—a pain that seems to deepen with every passing year.
Recently, my daughter, Lily, decided to part with her remaining pacifiers. She clearly no longer has a need for them, and I certainly don’t feel the need to spin a tale to make her feel better about letting go of something often associated with “babyhood.” But is there really anything wrong with that? We all seek comfort during times of uncertainty, and at times, I long for a pacifier myself. Yet, when Lily chose to donate her pacifiers, it wasn’t out of embarrassment; it was an act of kindness. She wanted to help the babies in the hospital, motivated solely by her desire to give, with no expectation of reward. This selflessness speaks volumes about her character—she is a giver, a peacemaker, and in her own way, she serves as a pacifier for those around her. Her actions bring a sense of peace to my weary heart.
