From morning till night, people meet and greet each other, …

10/08/2009

From morning till night, people meet and greet each other, but most of the time they do it automatically, with indifference and without love, even in families or couples. Imagine a husband kissing his wife goodbye at the front door: ‘Goodbye, darling’, she says. ‘Goodbye, darling’, he replies, and their kiss means nothing, they’re doing it out of habit. So it’s not worth doing, there’s no point. If you kiss someone, it should be to give them something good, to breathe life into them, to bring them back to life. But how many men or women are aware of this? The husband goes to kiss his wife when he’s upset or unhappy, to make himself feel better, and he gives her his sadness, his feeling of discouragement! And, one way or another, his wife will give back what she has received. Yes, men and women make exchanges all the time, but what are these exchanges? God only knows… or, rather, the devils know! There is no law against kissing people, on the contrary, but you must know how and when to kiss someone, so that you impart everlasting life to them.
