Moving Away

Suppressing truth is not fair. But truth has a very special characteristic. It sticks out its head sooner or later, no matter what. One particular truth that I am realizing very distinctly is that most people take his share and move away silently. The bigger the favour, the lesser is the chance of him to reappear again. He reappears only when he again needs something. And again the same story of moving away silently.

Nobody feels like giving company to someone, even for a few minutes. True, out of courteousness, people do lend an ear to what the other person is saying, but mostly it is a deaf ear. People do respond with some statements, but mostly these are innocuous statements, arousing little or no feeling within. That does not touch the heart. This keeps on increasing, as one grows older and older.

There are people who are exceptions; sympathetic, considerate, compassionate - but it has become so difficult to find them.
