perhaps a new born child is a stranger..

an ET (an Extra Terrestrial Being) ..

and the mother accepts it.. owns it up and tries either to transform it for the society or transforms herself to suit its needs.

. A father does that perhaps to a lesser extent..

The family tries to mould him to suit to its needs more than to adopt to its whims and fancies..

That ET becomes big as a grown, up accepts a male or a female as the mate..

And the mate tries to just transform or even manipulate it to suit the mate's desire and fancies..

And finally death comes and just snatches him away forcibly even if the ET is kicking out in protest..

Because by that time the ET Being has adapted itself to the need of this solid and is eager to live and enjoy here on this earth, for ever, if possible

But another territory, the territory of death wants to own the ET and wants to accept it, adopt it.

So acceptance has various dimensions..

Who is to thank whom..

Whom it is that one should thank..

God only knows..

True, an ET like this, perhaps one in a million arrives and he or it transforms the whole world around Him..

A Jesus, A Gandhi, A Krishna,

We remember them and thank them for ever..

We have to..
