you make small moves, someone's heart makes big moves...
Yes, its the small things that matter to me the most. I may sound corny. But trust me, thats what it is , thats the way it will be, thats the way I want it to be. I am trying to learn, trying to be more sensitive to surroundings. Not bad, I am making progress.
I cannot handle indifference well, rather I cannot handle it at all. Be it towards me , or towards anything that I feel,is unwarranted. Master's education in the US has taught me life. Taught me to fight it. Taught me to enjoy it. Taught me to sail through.
Met some people. agreed. Made friends with them. agreed. Like being with them. agreed. All kinds of people live in this world. No one is perfect. I am not, you are not. But being "sensitive" has its pros n cons. On one hand, you are able to do small things that people appreciate, on the other, you are injured by their indifference.
Ever thanked the driver that stopped to help you cross the road? Ever called a toast to someone who cooked you dinner? Ever sent your wishes to someone celebrating victory? Ever tried to acknowledge everyone in a party? Ever held your grandmother's hand and told her how much you love her? Ever complimented someone on their looks? Ever reassured one in distress that things will be fine soon? Ever told your parents that they are the best ones on the planet? Ever told your loved one how much you miss her/him? Ever thanked your friend for making you feel special?
I have come across people who are nothing short of a gem to their loved friends, and nothing short of a monster to people they dont care about. I dont respect them. Period. Everyone has priorities, I am not advocating that everyone should be meted out with same justice. But be good to people who are good to you, whether you care or not.
Lakhs to Orphanage, Millions to Old Age Home,
Success coming your way, all credit to your dome,
You aint big yet, dear man, you aint.
The perfume of pleasure may make you faint,
You aint there yet, dear man, not surely yet.
Burn arrogance, let your ego melt.
You are getting there , dear man, you are.
Smile, let the world know you are there,
To help, to care, to make the difference.
You made it, dear man, this is life : you , its essence.

Messed up thoughts? Yes, by all means they are. Result of anger? Well, may be. Result of something that I lived through recently? More definitely yeah :)
Is it just me? or does anyone else feel the same? Or Am I just being an emotional bundle as always :-?
Sail on....

Fantastic!! The best one so far. Thoughts of a sensitive, good human being.
The small things definitely matter, may not be "most" though.
The more you are sensitive, the more you get hurt.
I hate handling indifference. I know a lot of people who are angels to their loved ones and just the opposite for the others. I hate them too. If everyone is like that, imagine what kind of world it will be!! We can't treat everyone the same way, but still, we all can be good to atleast the people who are good to us.
It may not matter how I am, but may be relevant to this occasion to say that I am good to people who are good to me. And to the ones who aren't, I happily ignore them. I think it is a good policy to follow, atleast it works for me.
You make small moves, someone's heart makes big moves. Very true. Very few people realise this.
Whatever made the author write this post, It is purely the truth and I am sure, if not all, a lot of people will agree with it.
