Growing up listening to political panels and intellectual debates, I find myself tremendously fascinated by the champions of debates, and the eloquences of the peace makers. I am engulfed by people's power to use the tip of their tongues so lavishly.
Solving problems has been my deepest obsession, as I find myself drawing correlations and patterns in the ways people handle each other. Vividly I still remember as a child, I would come up with creative solutions to escape a room, to fix electronics, and to make someone feel better. But what turns out to be the most difficult to fix of all, is that of a broken heart.
It is always difficult to tell the mother of a dying son that everything is going to be okay.
It is always difficult to reject a friend who desperately need your help financially.
It is always difficult to come to terms with your imperfections and limitations.
It is always difficult to let go of what matters so much to you.
Although it might be useless speeches, I will always try, gently.
We have such social circles we call friends. Whom might not be able to solve all our problems, but can be there to offer some levels of comfort. Just to let you feel for the micro of a second, that you are not alone. That everything is going to past. That tough times don't last, tough people do.
May we use Ethos, Pathos, or Logos in our speeches, hopefully the mind is always clear that what you're trying to achieve is healing. And not destruction.
May your heart always be filled with love. Gentle and pure. Kind and gracious.
May you speak words truthfully, but with sensitivity and genuine care.
May you have no regrets in the way you live, authentically who you are.
Always bear in mind, that reality is far more complicated then we could ever imagine.
