    LITTLE THINGS…….?
    Dear friend’s hello! We should not commit little errors thinking them unnoticeable little sins. We should not avoid to-do little deeds of kindness taking them unmark able little virtue. It is logically proved that little things have their own significance. All big and great things are made up of tiny particles. In this way often little things in life indicate great changes as little drops of water make mighty seas and little grains of sand make a vast beautiful land. Shortest moments make hours, days, months, years, centuries and endless period of time. Similarly our little errors draw us from the path of virtue. These little errors if continue become big sins which lead us stray us and drop us into cavity of sins. In the same way little deeds of kindness make us dear to even our enemies. Little words of love console the dejected hearts and bring hope to disappointed fellows. Thus little virtue makes this world a happy place to live. Therefore it is our moral duty to do the deeds of kindness and avoid the mistakes how much little they are. WE WANT PEACE
