Mind's Eye

At times we want people to see what we see, to hear what we hear and to know what we know; forgetting the fact that they sometimes see what we don’t see, hear what we don’t hear and know what we not know of. From time to time we wonder why there are people who always seem to be against our perspectives and ideas, where we find it hard to meet someone who shares the same opinions as we do, where we feel desperate and empty, where we are not motivated enough to keep on searching. Perhaps it is just us who not want to speak up our minds, thus missing the channels which would lead us to our kind, forming the bridge between two different worlds; perhaps we are not patient enough to listen or even give them the time needed, as we refuse to go deeper than the surface we ever come across with, thinking there is no such necessity to do so; perhaps we are simply stubborn, holding on to the belief that no one shares the common in us at all, hence overlook the people who we have been searching for eternity, though they are right here by our sides. Emotions, actions and thoughts; each plays a part in creating an individual, each comes along with different combinations and each brings about varieties of influences and effects. To find a person who shares at least one thing in common, we shall learn to use the mind's eye, as our eyes and heart alone are not enough.
