Dear Readers

Once upon a time there were two brothers – Quark and Neutrino. They loved each other a lot and

were inseparable, but they couldn’t have been more different. Where Quark was outgoing and social and would easily bond with others, Neutrino on the other hand, found it very hard to bond with others. He would often wonder why God made him like this. The amount of fun his brother would have with others would leave him feeling lonelier and sadder.

He asked God one day, “Dear God, why did you make me like this? I find it hard to interact with others and I feel lonely all the time. Please help me, I am so sad.”

God said, “Dear Neutrino, there is no need for you to feel sad. I made everyone and everything for a reason and no one and nothing exists in the universe without a purpose. And you, child, have a very important role in this world. You are born of the fierce reaction in the Sun. You are the primary building block of this universe and are present everywhere. You might be small and weightless, but this universe would not exist without you. And while your brother seems very important for the universe, that does not make your existence any less important. So, remember that and always be happy.

Neutrino felt at ease after listening to God. Just then the doorbell rang. When he opened the door, he saw three children standing at his doorstep. “Hi, who are you?” “We are Electron, Muon, and Tao. God told us about you. Do you want to play?” said the three in unison. Feeling immensely happy, Neutrino silently thanked God and began playing with his new friends.

Humans are also like quarks and neutrinos; some can bond well with others while others find it extremely taxing (difficult). You might find some examples at your home. It doesn’t matter if you are a quark or a neutrino, everyone appreciates a little kindness and compassion.
