The Guts

"Why didn't you ask me why?" a person asked. "Well, you will tell me if you wanted to, isn't it?" He replied. At times, we would really love it when someone actually pays attention to what we wanted to say and what we wanted to share with. Still, having a listener is one thing, our decision whether we want to tell, or perhaps we shall just keep it to ourselves is the other. Does not matter how quiet a person is, there are times he wants to speak out loud too, but, does he have the guts to do so? When a friend being emotional, we might either force that particular person to spill out everything which troubles him, or stay with him, not saying a word but to wait patiently, till he needs a shoulder to lean on, a listener to listen to. So, brave enough to speak up?
