Can any of us truly explain ourselves to one another? Yes, but not always with verbalized language. Body language, physical intelligence and social intelligence play a big role. Vibes, the energy we give off, etc. This can be almost scary. I’m away at college, over an hour away from home and the other day my account was getting low on money. I was hungry, but I didn’t want to ask for more money from my parents. To my surprise later on that day, my parents called me while I was in class and left a voicemail saying that they have left money in my account and to eat whenever I was hungry. It was almost as if they heard and read my internal stimulus to eat.
Explain yourself to me, and all the issues you’ve had to deal with. Are we both foolish enough to believe that I can comprehend your hardship, your triumph, your historical reference? No, I dont think we’re foolish for believing that you can comprehend all of my problems. However, I’m of the belief that explaining/dwelling and seeking pity for all of my problems never, ever gets me anywhere but just kicked in the ass again. I’ve learned to turn to myself when in need or to people that truly love me.
Why do we even attempt to explain ourselves? Is anybody listening? Does anybody truly care? Experience, I suppose. Yes, people do listen and yes, people do care. These are the people who love/care about you the most.
What difference does it make? Sometimes it makes all the difference. Maybe if all of the people who’ve committed suicide over the years would of just had someone actually stop, sit down and listen/help them when they were most vulnerable, weak, down and in need of love, they would still be here today. Sometimes all it takes is a gentle push from someone to get us that much farther in life. Appreciate the wonders of the “little things” – simplicity really is quite compelling, even when it appears not to be.
