The Picture Perfect Family

There is a picture perfect family, wherein every member supports each other. Moreover, the opinion of every individual in that family is valued. It is the family everyone envies; hence we would talk about this family today.

I would tell you an instance that happened today, I went on an errand and an old woman of approx. 70 years of age was trying to approach me and I could perceive that she was being hesitant; therefore I stood there for a while and waited for her to initiate the conversation. It took a few minutes but, she approached me and asked for 05 bucks and my question was “why”.  She felt embarrassed and said that she is not well and already has 05 bucks but need 05 more to take a ride back home, since she is not able to walk. I gave her the money, rather I called a ride and made sure she gets it. Moreover, even the driver charged less considering the situation, without saying a word. (Charged 10 instead of 20).

When she left, I wondered what kind of family she could be from, however everyone has a situation of their own.  I am no one to judge someone and/or their family. What if, this woman may not even have a family?

I am sure this is a situation a lot of us has come across, but how many of us has left all the other thoughts and tried being their family or maybe treat them as a family member till we can, apparently we all have a family to take care of, hence we cannot adopt anyone, but we can at least try for a while and maybe someone else would carry on from there, such as the driver I mentioned above.

Honestly, after she left and most importantly after I left the thought of being a jury, It felt better that I could help her in any possible manner.

Now, what does this instance has to do with The Picture Perfect Family?

Precisely, there is no picture perfect family and we do not even get to choose our own family.

Instead of insisting everyone in our family to be perfect, should we not try to relish their imperfections or even share our own imperfections? I am sure someone else is better than you in few aspects but I am certain that you would also be better in few aspects than someone else.

Family is about getting all the pieces of a puzzle together.

There is no picture perfect family, we have to make one. We do not get to choose our family, but the one which we have is the only family.

We must cherish our own family and when we help someone, never be the jury for them or their family, we must do it considering them as our own; otherwise we must not do it at all. Ironically, we become jury if given the opportunity whereas, Every family is picture perfect. Choose Wisely and Live Freely ...Cheers !!!
