Communication is the key, as cliche as it may sound, but it's true. It holds true to parent-child, sibling-sibling, cousin-cousin, friend-friend, special someone-special someone, boss-employee, doctor-patient and to all types of relationship for that matter. Communication is not just about verbally talking, arguing or throwing defamation to someone. Connecting to other people can be done through a caress from someone who cares, a look from somebody who adores, a smile from the one who cheers up, and in this techie genre, a text, a tweet, a blog, a chat or an mail. A thousand ways to convey a message. Nth ways to bring sunshine to someone. But oftentimes we fail to connect, and misunderstanding became an everyday plate to all. We fall short to the end side of communication - LISTENING. It would be easy for some to just jump to a conclusion, give opinion to something, and do the blah blah, forgetting to listen of why that circumstance came around. To listen of how that 'something' did affect that person. Because sometimes, there are such junctures in life that all you need is just somebody to listen to your plaintive whines and grizzles. You just need to let go of what's inside - may it be loneliness, worries or angst or happiness. That other person needs to do nothing but listen. Just listen... and later empathize.
What a wonderful life should've been, if everyone communicates, and listens and understands...
