@Sabah, I m not in the best of moods to write ..cos the problem is always the same, I'm at work and my mind is not free, but I dont want to keep u waiting for long.Divya, I would wait for your words. Every thing has a time and a place. Let us not make work of play. About you sabah, I did not realize you were seriously going to add your opinion on me. I am quite flattered that you gave time to this. Truly. Ah! The fanciful intricacies of first impressions. I tend to make quite bad first impressions, so I am very curious. you are a mystery :) one of the very few people on IF who still maintains an aura of mystery about her. I always try to figure out the real you and fail 😆. but thats good, its always interesting that way.. Why I say this is, I have figured out almost every person I have met here, while in your case I'm still putting the puzzle pieces together (And u remind me of Arti 😆) ..I hate spelling things out for people, find it quite condescending, so always leave open that space for reading between my lines. Although I tend to wander into the vague rather than vast territory; sometimes coherence cowering under a cloud of confusion. However I remain here since I have found that it allows people to read into my words their own desires, aspirations, opinions and intentions. It allows the 'artist' to appreciate the spectator as they try to understand the art and perceive the artist.
What I know of you, you have your dreams of a fairytale, yet know fairytales are only so much.."fairy" "tales" ...u are in many ways unblemished by the way the world works.Very much so, I am very naive. However this strangely stems from the fact that few dreams of mine have ever been manifest in beautiful truth. You would think I would bear a grudge against the world, but rather I wait for that grand adventure, that pumpkin coach and happily ever after. you are easily touched by the small moments of joy that life springs at us. Most are, I hope. you are also equally upset by the negativity in the world. Again most are, hopefully.You would rather dwell on the happier aspects of it. Though when I say happy, I mean "happy" as defined by you, the smaller things in life that lights up our lives. You would like to keep urself away from the unpleasant and the unsavoury. You get deeply upset by both. You'd like to see the goodness in people.Very true, but there is a more 'activist' side to me, that you don't see on IF. It is not only about talking and words but beautiful actions too.You are also modest to a fault and extremely self critical while very generous in your encouragement and kind words for others. This method has always benefited me greatly. The reverse has never brought any good. You do come across as well read and with definite views of life and an understanding of the people around, yet there is a slight guiliability there that makes you open to possibility of taken for a ride? (:S ) Very true. One sign or should that be symptom is that I do not understand sarcasm, even in real life. It is very much lost on me. I take things at face value and expect things to be a certain way to the extent of removing all other possibilities from my mind. However again I have found that despite the drawbacks I prefer this colour on me, for those who fool me only really fool themselves. Most insult, gilded as they may be, only ever humiliate the instigator. I m not sure but I feel that often.I also find that you have certain idea of right and wrong, which are mostly inflexible.. (this is the part where I've found us differing largely..)I had thought we differed more in form than substance but I trust you more on this than myself.
Although I am very severe in my standards of acceptable behaviour for myself, I am striving to attain the virtue of empathy. Step number two. :p
For not every flower is destined to be a rose, or orchid or Jasmine scent! I have seen daffodils bulbs sprout being out of soil, sun and in the shade. Is this not a sign indeed.
However I would add, (I think I am about to prove your point) that truth stands out from false quite clearly, for truth and goodness are light which by its nature banishes darkness from its sight! If our hearts are not pure, intentions straight then we fall into error which we label grey despite the fact that our souls bear the bruises from such disgrace. The right course is that light that brightens every corner, curve and crevice. It is us who say we can not see, blinded by the dark.
We are all incapacitated to degrees, so we can not judge, only empathy not sympathy, BUT I do not agree with (to paraphrase KT turnstall) 'letting colours bleed into one that hasn't got a name.
Thank you Divya for this, I enjoyed this reflection. My mirror is mostly smudged and I am not inclined to clean it. 😳
I may be way off target..but thats what I came up with 😆
After Dill Mill Gayye, it seems that the time has come now to say good bye to Sudhir Sharma and
