Healing The Hurt Of Controlling Entities

A watchful mother was observing her child jointly building a sandcastle with other children in the sandpit of a playground. One child was bossing the others by telling them how to build the sandcastle. The mother observed her child became sad and distressed, and suggested her child get out of the controlling environment of the sandpit and help her feed a mother duck and her ducklings in the duck pond. While feeding the duck and ducklings the child's emotional demeanour improved. The child was no longer encircled by the boundaries of the sandpit and its self-appointed controller and became focussed on nature's innate marvel of social bonding. Later, a downpour of rain destroyed the sandcastle. [Humanist Pastor James Dolton]
