Sometimes I think;
Who should come first? Ourselves or others.
The answer to this would vary because people come to conclusions based on how they feel, what they see around them and most especially the experiences they have had.
This brings up a question;
Can we ever find or know the truth?
Sometimes as wide as the sky is, as large as the earth, as deep as the sea is. Sometimes it just seems that we are alone, all by ourselves because no matter how much we yell, how much we want to be understood, it still feels like we are the only ones in this big wide world;
Screaming
Crying
Yelping
Panicking
But no one just hears us but do you know the craziest thing about life?
We are surrounded everywhere by people but they also suffer go through torments, some are like mere papers being blown and tossed about by something or somebody and they don’t even know what or who.
Just like it seems you are on fire and no one cares, just right beside you, a dagger of trauma, pain, sadness or whatever is stuck in the chest of a fellow but we can only think about our pain.
I don’t know what may hurt others but I have a strong believe that just everyone hates to be misunderstood.
Someone looks right into your eyes and says “and is that why you should be angry” and then you are speechless, you try to deliver your next words but you can’t, yet something screams inside of you saying “I am sad not angry”
Sometimes, it so hard when we try to explain ourselves to others, yet they just don’t understand or have a completely different picture of what we think of ourselves. What a world!
Like I said, people create their own truth and even if it isn't the truth to you or what you mean, that is how they see it and come to think of it, they are also going through a crisis as they want you to see from their own point of view.
They want you to see why and how you are hurting them and you want them to see that that is not what it is, then;
Boiling emotions rise
Harsh and helpless conflicts jam.
Sometimes as humans, we just want to be heard. You want to be heard just like the other person wants to be heard to.
That word “Truth” is a fallacy, a fantasy, something blurry, something that cannot be grasped.
If there is indeed truth, then it should be a single truth. What we have is point of view and we have coined this point of views into truths.
I have my own truth, millions of people have their own truth concerning a single matter.
Then which one is the truth? How can there be just one truth?
Truth is just another word that will continue to bring disasters to homes and communities.
Truth is another word to turn people against one another.
Humans are fragile beings, they think within their own circle.
Come to think of it, you just maybe wrong thinking that person is this way or that way.
That is the way you see somebody, that is the way you interpret them, millions of people will interpret them in different ways.
That is the way you interpreted their actions.
The world is complicated and I tell you million of worms are consuming most hearts. Everyone is going through a torture that you cannot see physically.
What then can be done?
Forget truth! Stop looking for it!
AND PUT YOURSELF IN THE SHOES OF OTHERS.
FEEL PRICKED BY THE THORNS THAT TORMENT THEIR FEETS…
And maybe that would ease off the moment, ease your pain, their pain, make you see better, make them see better.
You will be just fine.
They will be just fine too.
