Garden of Eden or battle of Eden?

Earth was the gift given by God to Adam and Eve as “Garden of Eden”. Earth is a beautiful garden. We were the highest form of creation as we resemble God in the similar image. Everyone loves life and want to live to the fullest in this earth. Few come to this earth and leave early, only very few stay for a longer period of time. That is the puzzle of the creation!

We come to this earth for a beautiful living like we go on for a vacation. During this travel, we meet many, develop relationship and leave great memories! Instead of a happy vacation, sometimes it turns into a disaster when we fight among ourselves, leaving enmity for generations, deep inflicted wounds and scars and ultimately what to carry when we leave this garden?

Our birthdate is given by our mother and the death date is not disclosed to us. If we know our death date when we would die, then life will not be interesting. As a visitor to this beautiful place called earth, we don’t come up with our pack up date! In a visa, the date of exit is given but in this life’s visa the exit date is always kept blank and we get surprised when the co-passenger/s exit this world quite suddenly without information.

The beautiful garden has witnessed many battle fields by human kind in every centuries. Nearly all the countries of the world were involved in a conflict of some type that has resulted in casualties. The bloodiest wars without weapons to nuclear weapons! From the beginning to the ongoing Ukraine war!

The beautiful garden has been visited by great souls till date and they have preached about compassion and have shown their strength by keeping Love as a weapon!

Why did this Garden become a battle field even when the population was very less in the earlier centuries! Was it greed and sheer power to establish our own boundaries? when the garden doesn’t have demarcated boundaries! A country is not powerful due to the weapons it has but a country is powerful when it is filled with happiest people!

Have we lost love for fellow human beings? Let us spread the love we carry within ourselves. The first gesture of sharing love is “Smile”. Smile from the heart, there would be lot of difference, you could see the way a stranger understands you. One may have problems in life, the difficulties. Anyhow we are going to face the very challenges of life, why not face it with a smile! It will make a difference to the world! We sleep for about 8 hrs per day that is 1/3^rd of the day. So in our lifetime, suppose if we live for 60 years, 20 years goes on in bed and dreams and 40 years is our interaction with each other.

So, today when you interact with someone, smile to express your love. Smile is the first weapon of Love. As a child, we were smiling crazily but lost gradually when we became adults. One cannot change the world but one can change him or her, to make the world change so there would be no more war memorials, wounds, scars carried onto generations. This earth is for all who are visiting as guests!! Join me in changing the “Battle of Eden” to “Garden of Eden” by a smile to this world with love!
