I shouldn't have lived on, said 'I'; I did not get any love from my family. As 'P' was intently listening my mind wavered.
'P' did not have a family. Grew up in an orphanage. Married a fellow orphan. And yet 'P' knew love. Was full of raw energy that radiates a love. 'P' had not seen much love growing up, yet could give love to the entire world around. The world around 'P' was happy. In fact 'P' made the world around happy.
'I' was beautiful & bold. Cultured. Modern. Grew out of a family of learned people. Grew up in one of the bigger cities of the world. Life should have been perfect.
Yet, there was something missing. 'I' had often felt low. Had even been advised medication for depression. 'Though brave 'I' was, the tone and the voice radiated a pain.
What was the difference?
May be the difference is in my biased eyes; The bias in me had already decided that families are meant to be happy. Aren't they? I don't know. The coloured lens I wear had already painted a gloomy picture of the orphans growing up. Why shouldn't they grow up to be normal, in fact extraordinary citizens of this gloomy world.
I wish 'I' well in life. 'I' has a lot more to offer to the world. Well, beautiful, strong souls do;
I wish I can learn so much from 'P'. The world is a much better place because of people like 'P'.
Two lives met me that day! And I'm better because of both of them.
