Empathy

Empathy does make a difference
I sometimes wish that others see my point of view and what i am feeling. Stepping into another's shoes can make you feel the pain or joy that person is undergoing.
A positive feeling is generated when we come to know that someone cares for us and it does build a trustful bond.
What happens when empathy is missing..just simply saying i am sorry is not enough. One has to understand ones feelings to establish that connection.
Empathy is like a bear hug, a blanket of security and makes us feel special and safe.
But how many of us realise that. Everyone is too busy or people forget this factor but everyone requires it from someone in their time of need.
I guess i am becoming too philosophical of late. I am not able to see misery of any nature and getting too emotional about things.
Its a solace that i am with my parents presently taking a break from work but not for long. Today mom told me she loves me a lot and that she is proud to have a daughter like me, that she tells me often, but this time i felt more happy than usual.
I have caught up with movies now. I loved ghazni especially the hero and the storyline.Spending time at Imax and having my coffee with a sandwich was reliving old days. I went to my temple, the old age home..felt happy.
I have to go back again as i have a promise to keep. Dont know how to convince my parents but got to do it somehow.
Enough of my legacy,, got to enjoy the next week and make the most of it.
Am i thinking too much (from empathy to my personal legacy)
Just chill..chill..just chill

I was sad the entire day on monday as this would be my first diwali away from my family..with great difficulty i got leave on diwali day so no time to fly home and get back. I thought i would avail the leave and rather be at home.
I went to the nearby market to purchase diyas and crackers there i saw street children hanging around the shops ..i suddenly thought why not spend the diwali with the kids at the orphanage..i bought a pkt each of crackers and gave to those kids and was happy to see them smile..i bought sweets, chocolates and crackers in bulk and not even bothering to have my lunch went to the orphanage,,,, all the kids were like wondering what has she got ..i distributed the stuff that was quiet a task..and then i helped the staff in lighting up the diyas in the night but some of the kids did not have new clothes for the festival..but i cheered them up and they had sweets and chocolates and we all burst crackers and had great fun..i had to return home to light diyas in my house as well..but i would cherish this diwali forever..it was special for me,, i was happy that i made so many innocent angels happy..hmmmmmm wish i could do that everyday of my life.
Current Mood: Happy Indeed!
