Understanding

As defined by Mr. Webster;
• be sympathetically or knowledgeably aware of the character or nature of : Picasso understood color | [with clause ] I understand how you feel.

Such a profound word that so many of us take for granted. I admit back home I would usually ignore the feelings of my siblings. I was the eldest you see and in our culture it usually is when you are the oldest, you get your way. Others simply follow. That was there. Thousands of miles away.

But in a country, in a room where you are thrown together with a stranger (well not really a stranger) but someone different from how you were brought up you just have to understand.

Each person is unique, I agree, but how can I possibly understand someone when you do not know how that person’s mind goes? One minute you’re both okay, the next you’re at a loss… It’s as if the world has gone nuts! Haay. Maybe this is one thing that I have to live with. Something that I have to continually adjust to. Something that I simply cannot really comprehend why it is so but I simply have to accept.

Until the day that I completely accept this way of things, well… I have to live with it.
