If there is anything I have realized it is that humanity is inherently good. Everyday I look at the world and I marvel at the scores and scores of kind deeds. Most of all I revel in the simple and natural act which is friendship. I do not think it is a difficult thing for others to grasp, because it manifests itself so wonderfully in the little acts - there are the shared laughters, the knowing looks, and most of all the ability to walk beside someone without leaving at least 10 cm of space in between. I think that ability to walk beside someone like this is built upon trust, and love, and this is something I can do only with a few people. In fact I think I can count them in less than one hand. It has always been bitter to realize that what comes easily to other people does not come so easily to me, every now and then it hits me as a sudden painful revelation that that 10 cm of space in between is symbolic of a greater emotional gap. Which I can never bridge, perhaps not because I cannot, but because I don't want to. |
