Words are a trap. I seriously beleive in this. How many times you have experienced a diffuclty in expressing yourself to help someone understand what you are feeling? Most of the times , right? Yesterday, I was referring to two types of anythings in this world-Functional & Technical. Technical aspect of anything is realtively easy to understand. Just cross-reference anything that is accepted as a standard in that particular situation. Functional thing is relative. Everyone understands the same in their own context and then deems it right. More often than not, quality is often refferd to understanding exactly what the other person needs and doing it likewise. Some have this as an inherent gift, some dont. Hence some people are liked most and some are not. But how many peolple know the hidden aspect of it?
In his sequel to "Kane and Abel", " The Prodigal Daughter", Jeffery Archer gives a classic example of this. Apparently it's discovered in the end that Florentyna's (Abel's daughter) doppelganger, an anynomous backer to their crumbling bank was William Kane-her father's arch rival. Now who would remember him and appreciate him? Probably Abel will be able to. :-)
The point here is everyone is an unsung hero in somebody else's lufe. May be n his/her father's, mother's, brother's, sister's, dughter's, son's,friend's,bank cashier's, maid's;virtually anyone's. We touch lives of them whoose exsistence we are not even aware of.
In this scene, no words are requried. A different level of connection is established. A functional connection where no technicalities are involved. Everywhere there is love, even in hate. Paradoxical it is, but we tend to hate people we love the most. So lets promise ourselves that I will go beyond the words sometimes and do things in a shadow that will affect someone in a good manner.
And at the end of the day ask ourselves: Whose life did I touch today?
