All people……

Well, at least most people start off their life in the same sort of way. They start off small, dependent, dumb…..

Not knowing what’s in the world and how their lives would end up to be like.

But, they get care, if not love, from someone, even if it’s not their parents. They get nourished and slowly they start to become big and strong.

They meet people. All sorts of people. Everywhere. In the streets, in schools, in shopping malls. They learn how to present themselves in front of those people.

They learn to make friends. Some are taught how to do that. Some are just too outspoken naturally. Some end up never figuring out how that happens.

Some are polite, helpful, kind, and knowledgeable, but they just don’t know how to start a small talk. They know how to express their ideas. But, they never learn to express their feelings.

Society thus pushes them away as it asks for emotions, drama, and gossip. But they just give their thoughts and logical reasons.

So, they end up without friends. They set up their boundaries. Very precise boundaries. They confine themselves to their own comfort zones. They stand like strong fortresses of emotions, unable to let them out. They feel…. they understand, but they never let anyone do that for them.

They enjoy life in their own way. They participate in most things, but usually from a distance. They end up living with themselves.

Knowing that they are different, and maybe that’s why they would never feel accepted anywhere.

Feeling that they would never feel belonged.

Feeling that no one would actually ever understand what they’re going through as they never show that they’re feeling down.

Knowing that even if they did let their emotions flow out, the other person just wouldn’t understand or feel them the same way.

These people, they stay strong. Stronger than most people as they carry all their burdens themselves and never share them even if someone gives them the chance to do that. They learn to pave their way in life ALL by themselves.

These people, they understand. They understand the world much better as they are usually listeners and observers who keep their keen eyes open for going into the true depths of things.

These people, they are empathetic. Truly empathetic because they go through everything. Through all hurdles and obstacles. Even if they don’t, their quiet souls learn to feel them through quiet observance. Thus, they learn to understand what it feels like to be sorrowful. And when someone asks for some help or advice, they know exactly what to say.

These people, they are amazing. Much more like real human beings than most of us.

They care, even when no one else cares for them.

They help even when there is no one to help them.

They change societies because they’re different. But, society neglects them…..
