Hey people :)
Today's friday, but i have total no excitement.
Haha, i have no idea why too..

Had chemistry paper 1 today. It ended @ 9 . so i went for breakfast with the non-physics people.
Breakfast was niceeee :P
But just when we stepped out of bp, we were greeted by the dark sky.
I wanted to get back into school and play basketball...
But, it rained!!
haha, we were trying to cross the road and it just suddenly poured.
i had umbrella, but the downpour was in all directions.. haha. had no way to keep myself dry.
Walked quickly to the busstop and i missed the bus. Unlucky ttm!!

I was zoning out at the busstop.
The sound of the rain was loud, there was thunder almost every 3 mins or so. I was wet.
The bus finally came around 20 mins later.
I boarded the bus, throughout the journey, i just looked out of the window.
In the bus, it was way more comfortable than outside. I couldnt hear the sound of the rain, thunder. I see people walking by peacefully. I couldnt tell whats going on outside except the fact tt i saw raindrops.
After i alighted from the bus, i returned to the same situation as i was in the bus. Thunderous fall and wet.

Suddenly i just realised that actually this is a very common situation that we take no notice of.
too often we are in our comfort zones ( like the bus) viewing on things that are going on outside. Being comfortable, we happily will not consider to think in the shoes' of people. Just like i was in the bus, i knew it was raining. But i couldnt hear. Thinking that its just so peaceful. But when i alighted, i had to face a circumstance that i dint thought i will go through. Like being scared by the thunder and hit by the pelting raindrops.

This is so realistic in our world. Too often we think that we know what is going on. But the truth is that, we have never been through it, how are we suppose to know how exactly one would feel? Even though we empathize, but the struggle of the persona in their hearts, the difficulties they have to overcome, we can never be able to fully understand. So what we know the outline of a story? But isnt the minute details more important than the brief outline? So the people who are by-passers of every story, stop saying that you understand, because you dont unless you have went through it. And people we are caught in bad situations, dont immediately seek help. Try to straighten out all your thoughts, it doesnt mean its always bad when you face setbacks. Everyone will know that setbacks are inevitable and they will make you grow. When people says this, its crap because you think you will not be able to overcome it. But its a fact, once you have overcome it, you will start to realise the true meaning.
Just like when i was in the bus in such comfortable condition, people being caught in the rain will think that i will never understand how they were feeling at the point in time. True enough, i couldnt. But once i alighted, i could. Because i had went through it myself.
And here i am posting this because its something that i hope to remind myself. That whenever people are feeling down, i try to say things to make them feel better. I was wrong, i couldnt understand how they were feeling and how am i suppose to talk to them about all the politically correct ideologies? Haha, i think they might wanna slap me when i talk to them about it. But next time i will take a different approach i guess. Maybe letting them accept the truth is the most important thing. Because this is the only way to let them learn. There will be pain inflicted, but it will also go away.

We can empathize ; but we will never understand.
