First of all I want to say that you chose the perfect title for this piece! It so perfectly summed up what the matter inside related to. 😊
The whole of this, I don't know what to say, story or chapter so beautifully showed the side of the negativity that often surrounds us in a totally different light. In a way that we normally fail to see. We curse, hate and dislike the ones who are bitter and show the same but we never think what caused them to become like this. I'm not talking about the crimes committed around the society. No. I'm talking about normal people having that little pinch of bitterness in them. If we are ever able to know how they had been before, what kind of circumstances they had had to face, how they coped up with it, I'm sure we cannot blame them for the lost pieces of themselves, the pieces that time and hardships eroded to make them rough, sharp and unbending..This came from my life experience. I have a very wise father. When I was a teen there was this uncle that plagued the living daylights out of me. He always left me in tears. My Dad (my God) sat with me and explained the man's circumstances to me which were very heart breaking. He always told me that you will get praise for your actions but when you don't, try to improve from the criticism that you receive, try to understand the other person a bit and then you may see things differently.After that day I was able to see the man differently and he never left me in tears again.Two messages I got from this piece. One, love always conquers. No matter how badly you've been treated by someone, if you keep on showering love and care towards them, your love will win over their harshness! Two, never lose your faith in Almighty. If you just believe that whatever He does is for good, and if you believe that He'll always keep your loved ones under His protective hand, you're not going to be disappointed with what you get! Another message that I learnt is it's never too late to set things straight. One hug, a few loving words and a caring pat on the head can do wonders! This is all it takes to put past the hatred and anger you've held for years at a stretch and set you free.. Thank you Avi for putting across such lovely messages in an amazing way! 😊
Avi, the way you wrote Maya's perspective of her life, I can never dislike her any more! Really well expressed! 👏
I don't think I can say more than this Avi. In simple words, I loved every word of this piece, it brought tears to my eyes, it made me smile and then sigh with relief in the end. Thank you for letting us read this wonderful piece from you! 🤗 From super commenter Mariam, this is all I can ask for.
And I do want you to write more often and post it too but only when you feel like doing it. 😊
PS: Is purple your favourite colour? 😃
