“Real friends start by accepting, not understanding”
I’m lost in thoughts when I first came across this quote from Meiling’s blog. I don’t think that most of my friends understand me, even for those I perceived as brothers and sisters for the past 10 years of my life. Whenever there is an unpleasant argument or disagreement of opinions occurs between me and my friends, the first thought that comes into my mind is: “For once, why they can’t think from my perspective in the first place before they started to judge me?”
Most of the time, I simply give up to explain or trying to make them understand cuz I’m just tired when I have to repeat the same thing over and over again. And sometimes words itself is a limit, it’s really hard for me to interpret every thoughts into suitable and understandable words.
Pathetic, out of the six billion human populations on earth, no one seems to understand me.
But is it really that important to gain other people’s understanding? Is it really necessary that all our action can be rationalized in a way so that other people can understand it?
At times even me myself can’t figure out why I talk, think and act in the most unreasonable way. Well, if that’s the case, what for I’m asking others to understand me when I don’t even understand myself.
It’s human that we try to understand “why and how” with our own conscience. If the person behaviour and the way he/she acts are totally devoid of our understanding, will you still accept him/her? Will you still stand beside of him/her without feeling doubt?
Accept even when we don’t understand, some people might perceived that as naïve or irrational. For me, it’s something called as faith.
I see faith when I saw the tears that you never showed to other people.
I see faith when you let me slept on your thick comfy mattress but you yourself sleeping on the one which is thin and hard.
I see faith when you hold my hands so tight when I was lying on the bed in the hospital.
I see faith when You bless me with those people who have faith in me.

i have faith in you and yes I may not understand you fully but I do. We're in the same boat, stay strong.
sadness flow within me. Well i had the life like wat you are having now and i seemed so miserable and annoyed with that kind of life. Feeling the whole world is running thru out the time and no one tend to understand me and not even a single thing. i crawed hard..... i course those who don understand me ...feel irritated with theri appearance. I try so hard to cope well with the ppl around me(but the reality is .. ppl around me tolerate me alot and actually i am the odd one where they are trying to cope with me).Thing tend to be different when there is a person come and ping me up. Make me know the other side of the world which was lost in my mind or i should say i never come across. I hardly accept.. i felt i was standing at the deepest edge of the world and i tend to give up. Luckily i did not and strong up myself to revitalize my life... i change .. and i able to cope well with the world . My life might slightly different with your case but then just wan you to be strong in the future. Nutsell, all the best.
thanks lionel, i have faith in you as well. Anonymous, thanks for the encouragement, stay the course!
