There are days, when someone gives you a huge lecture about importance of a thing and nothing falls on ear.
And, then there are a few, when even a tiny incident or something you observe, changes your perspective of life. :)
It was a typical Monday morning. *sigh*
And it was pretty normal day, till I had this tiny cold war with my friend, following which I ended up texting a rude message. I threw the cell phone in my bag and hurried off to catch the usual 8:30 local. Now, I was feeling really bad for the things I'd said, but hey, it's not my mistake completely, right?!
Plus, I had my physics test to worry about, so I forced my head into the book and began solving the problems. [Yeah, I got a place to sit. ;)]
After I reached my destination, I took out the cell phone and checked. No reply. . . Bad.
I was climbing down the bridge in that pathetic state of mind, and suddenly I heard some weird sound. I turned around.
I was intrigued by the source of sound. . . And then, I realized. They were two school girls talking.
They were mute.
They were communicating with each other using the sign language.
And in that attempt their face was so full of expressions, that I couldn't help smiling with them.
That, was the moment,
I realized the importance of the ability to 'say' the words which we so carelessly throw at people.
Just because we have the ability to 'talk', we say things, sometimes, even without realizing the consequence. Sounds preachy, I know. But imagine yourself with no voice.
You are really happy and you just can't share it. Try.
Sucks, doesn't it. =|
That, was the time I decided. Whenever I can, I'll think twice before criticizing or saying rude stuff.
The gift of speech is precious. Ability to converse, is probably the best thing that ever happened to a human. :)
I'm not saying that, I've become a sage after that incident. :P
But certainly, a bit more wise. :)
