I really don't know how to go about with this post when the title itself is so uninspiring. Anyways, as I was chatting with a very close friend of mine today,I realized that very often we run out of words as to what we have to say.The words that we know are often not enough or rather incapable of expressing what we truly feel about a particular situation or person. But we don't stop and pause, we want to carry on with the conversation, so we in turn tend to use words that are not really appropriate or do justice to what we really mean. And it is often so that these words may be misinterpreted by the listener. Interestingly most of our conversations that take place are between us and the people whom we really care about. And if these misunderstandings are created in them they could have very devastating consequences. However all of us are aware about this, and hence tend to be very cautious with what we say to our loved ones.
Being cautious with a loved one!!...This actually is a very ironical situation. We don't want to create a misunderstanding, and hence would rather be cautious and keep things to ourselves. But when we look at the big picture here, we realize that withholding emotions and expressions from the most important people of our lives is so very unfair. Why should a relationship suffer simply because we as imperfect individuals & cannot figure out a better way to express ourselves in the true sense of it.
Take Love for example; If a men wants to express his love for a women, the most conventional and sort out way would be simply to say those 3 magical words, "I Love You"...But if we truly look around in our world today, these words have distinctly lost their true meaning...Every one would be using them to lure anyone who cud possibly be just a mere attraction or an object of infatuation & admiration.It is become such a commercial form of expression that i must admit that most of us would not know the true meaning or feeling it allows us to experience. So when someone is truly in Love, he would not find using this phrase; which is of utmost value,affection and respect, preferential.
So what do we do when faced with a predicament of running out or words that would truly express what we feel? Here I must succumb to defeat and say that, I do not have an answer to that. Because even if we know each and every word of the English vocabulary or even the vocabulary of any other language for that matter, we would never ever be able to express in words what we truly feel. Its simply because our speech and language is bound by so many constraints that our extremely sophisticated yet perfect human mind can never be able to synchronize with. We should be glad and appreciate that our mind is created with so much freedom that we can think whatever,however and whenever we want. That is the freedom nobody can take away from us. Which according to me is extremely beautiful.
So i guess the bottom line is, if we want to express what we feel and have run out of words to do so, we simply use the words that are accessible to us at that moment of time rather than being cautions and keeping things to ourselves. We can hope and have the faith that our loved ones have known us well by now that they would perfectly understand what we are expressing and not what we have just said to them in words. So if you have something to say....go ahead and say it, do not hesitate because life does not give you many opportunities to express what you truly feel.
