hey people,
i guess it'd be good posing this. looking at victor's post. or at least the reminiscence of another post, i could see how words that actually don't really matter to you, words that are discreetly hurting people and spoiling relationships, sometimes come out with little thought placed in it. there's one solution for this. before you say or do something. think about the other person. think about how you'd feel if you were him or her. putting yourself in other's shoes. that's the sincerest form of empathy, of understanding, and probably the most selfless way of friendship.
little things come in a big way. sometimes you don't realise it, thinking that it is really insignificant and irrelevant to your current situation. but no. remember, most things occur in present perfect tense. meaning that a certain thing you have done many years ago, the impact, repurcussion or effect might still be well kept until today. perhaps it was obloquy, perhaps it was contempt or something positive. but always remember that try to do things for others. i only realised the rationale of this really recently. if you could live by helping others live, you'll find more meaning in life, and more meaning to continue this long journey ahead that would eventually end quite soon.. have to start drilling my soul to put myself in other's emotions, psyche, and minds. not that i want to control their minds or something, but on the other hand, to try to understand them more and make them less obscure to me. i'm sure life would be much more opalescent in this way.
i guess only time would reveal the truth and the answers.
love,
~ emma
