In our daily lives, we often find ourselves questioning the reasons behind our actions and experiences. As humans, we are naturally inclined to seek understanding and order amid chaos. This instinct to search for meaning is deeply embedded in our evolution, although it can be an overwhelming endeavor. With each passing day, I find myself asking “why” multiple times, yet I realize that the answers to these questions often elude us. As stated in the Bhagavad Gita, “You will never untangle the circumstances that brought you to this moment.” During such tumultuous times, individuals frequently gravitate towards faith, religion, or even addictive behaviors to alleviate their anxieties. The allure of simply accepting that “it was meant to be” or “I’m going to unwind with a drink” is strong. I, too, have sought solace in various forms as a means to cope with this intricate and often painful existence—a pain that seems to intensify with each passing year.
Recently, my son, Alex, decided to part with his remaining pacifiers. It was clear that he had outgrown their use, and I felt no need to fabricate a story to soften the transition, as pacifiers are often associated with infancy. However, I pondered: why is it considered wrong to seek comfort in such items? Everyone desires a source of relief during life’s daunting moments. Even I sometimes long for a pacifier in my own way. Alex’s decision to donate his pacifiers stemmed not from embarrassment but from a place of compassion. He wanted to assist infants in the hospital, motivated solely by the desire to help others without expecting anything in return. His selflessness reminded me that he embodies the essence of a pacifier—a source of comfort and peace. This realization brought a sense of calm to my weary spirit.
