A Story of "A Father, ï»żA son, and The Sky"

...See more Hey Everyone 👋 I hope you all are doing well! 😊 I have been here for some time, and I wanted to share a small story with you all. This story feels relevant and is close to my heart. Here it is... ------------------------- A Father, ï»żA son, and The Sky  On one late breezy evening, under a vast sparkling sky, a father and his little son sat together on a hill beneath an old tree. The moon was shining brightest over everything, and the world felt peaceful and still. The boy leaned back to his father, gazing up at the sky above his head with utter curiosity. “Papa,” he said softly, breaking the silence. “Why do we like looking at the sky so much? I feel like, I could stare at it forever and never get bored of it.” The father smiled and looked up. “That’s because the sky holds something greater than stars and planets. It reminds us of an invisible power that watches over us, guiding and protecting us. The sky is everywhere, just like this power. It’s always there, always watching.” The boy’s eyes shone widened. “So
 this power never rests? It doesn't get tired ever?” The father chuckled. “No, it doesn’t need to rest. This power watches over us because it cares deeply. It sees when we choose kindness and honesty, and when we make choices that might hurt others. Depending on what we choose, it helps us by bringing us good things or teaching us lessons when we stray.” The boy thought for a moment, the moonlight reflecting in his eyes. Asked, “But how will I know what’s good and what’s bad?” The father placed his hand on the boy's shoulder gently. “Good things make people happy. They mean not hurting anyone, not taking what doesn’t belong to us, and always telling the truth. Bad things are the opposite, they bring hurt or sadness. It’s simple. When you’re doing something, ask yourself, ‘Will this make someone smile or cause them pain?’ If it makes them smile, it’s good; if not, think twice.” The boy nodded, deep in thought. “So if I choose to do good things, does the invisible power reward me?" “Yes,” the father replied gently. “It will be very pleased. Rewards might come in ways you don’t expect. You might feel happier, sleep more peacefully, or someday when you need kindness, someone will be there for you. Kindness and goodness always have a way of finding their way back to us.” The boy looked back up at the sky, smiled, and said, “I want to do more good things" Feeling warmth in his heart, the father looked at his son with pride. “That’s a beautiful choice. Remember, no matter how big or small, every act of goodness is like a tiny light in the world. And together, all those little lights make it as bright and beautiful as the night sky.” They stayed there a little longer, enjoying the view of the stellar sky. *The image used here is generated through AI. Thanks for reading! Let me remind you that this fictional story has a part of what I heard as a child, I have added some things to it further. Do let me know, “What does the idea of an ‘invisible power’ or a guiding force mean to you? Do you have anything that inspires or guides your choices?â€Â đŸŒ ï»ż
