Any pain will vanish off by 50% when you listen to the voice of your beloved ones. Nevertheless, if we count the number of the people
ACTUALLY checking on us with utmost sincerity, it might only be equal to the number of fingers in a hand. And that could be the maximum for most of us. This is because, world is moving and changing at a rapid pace and we fall into illusions where we forget the value of real friendship, fellowship and love. God created friendship in this universe to have sustenance, not negligence.
I do agree that all of us might be
busy. But if you're in a business or hurry, say it to your friends confidently. They will accept your words with happiness. Staying away from them without even sending a text will break their minds and hearts. Actually we people are really showered with the internet, gadgets, social media accounts and all other forms of
communication. Yet, it's a sad truth that most of us don't use them for 'talking'. There's a deep meaning for the word
TALKING. Random "Hi", "Howdy", "Hello", "Lunched?", "How're you?" don't mean you are actually talking. A talk is when you identify the current situation of the person. The duration doesn't matter. Chatting random stuff for one hour at a stretch is not the greatest friendly talk. At the same time, a 2-minute swift chat during some stressed couple of seconds can bring pleasant moments to both the speaker and the listener, am I right?
There are people who exist in our lives just to reply to our social media statuses or stories. They, on the contrary, do not have any interest in listening to us or asking us about our feelings or mood swings. Upon watching something exclusive or shocking, they just want to know it out of EAGERNESS. These kinds of replies are involuntary and most of the time, irrelevant. Sorrow and joy are exactly two different things. True friends and close ones will only understand the true feeling inside us by looking at our eyes or observing our mannerisms or even by watching our social media posts. Those friends live inside our hearts. When our eyes get teary, their hearts will be broken automatically. This is the power of friendship.
Let it be any relationship- parents, siblings, spouse, cousins, friends, lovers or even teachers, the element of true friendship is the foundation of the relationship. To check whether they are fine and all healthy, to tell them to take care wherever risk comes, ordering them to inform them when safely landed, to be a human alarm to take medicines etc. are the deeds of angels in the form of human beings. They are emotions expressed in words. Unfortunately, the majority of our society uses words such as "Take care", "It's okay", "Good Morning" and "Stay Safe" just for NAME-SAKE. The world concentrates more on avoiding fellow humans rather than making them stay forever.
At times, viruses can teach you to live with care and consideration. To sit at home without any other daily routine outside, pushes you to understand how wealthy relationships are. Care is something beyond a 'Hello'. Care is true with even an eye-contact that is sincere! Business occurs to everyone, but save some time to talk with your beloved ones. Or else, love will just exist in the word BELOVED. Also, identify and filter your friends or you are going to be unhappy at the end after their ignorance.
Wishing all a peaceful quarantine.
