Love hope





This in any way not to jeopardize any circumstance or decision rendered. This is just an angle or a piece of perception of my aching mind. A few days ago, I was confided by a seemingly alienated problem. Being somebody to talk to, I faced an unfamiliar work drawing out problems of the heart. In my own little ‘stroked’ way, I empathized with my friend but the consoling thing quickly ended as I was dragged by her undeserving fate.

Admiration turned into pity is what I felt. She used to tell me her joy in unconditionally giving or expressing the affection needed for the man she love [or loved, for that matter]. I imagine how lucky the guy was. Suddenly, it was like talking to another person. Uncovering the reason behind everything was beyond my will.

I was so blessed knowing her. Her selflessness and being dedicated to love is remarkable. It taught and reminded me again of one thing beyond this crazy world we’re in: love unconditionally.

Empathy


To strengthen the meaning in its entirety, breaking it down to pieces is the more comprehensible and easy way. Such is in the case of understanding. I might lean more on the later Wittgenstein here since some of my arguments boasts or lack further readings from him. I am thus inclined to mere perception powered by freedom and knowledge.





For a finer grasp, I would simply underline it as Empathy. Our handy dictionary would put it as: the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner.

Layman’s term would be placing yourself in others’ shoe. It sounds more subjective as ‘understanding’ is subjective in itself. Another way of extracting its meaning is by exchanging sides. What would you feel if I were on your side and you vice versa?

Applying empathy with an open mind able us to see the true comfort and beauty of ‘’understanding’’.

Troubled goals


Being a person with stroke is extremely hard. No road or method is easy. You are hurting both from the inside and out. At times your mind dictates while your body does not feel like going through your mind, or it’s the other way around at certain times. The feeling of being limited seeps in and desperation pulls you back suddenly. Then hope slowly fades. Goals seem like mere utterances. The fire in you dies down. Pale, weak, uninvolved persona emerges. The masked depression attacks again strategically.



But just as being true and honest about the matter, everything and anything all comes down on how you treat it yourself. By surrounding yourself with people with concern can help you. Deeply focusing on what is to be done instead being distracted by negative thoughts also works well.

Take time. Time to transcend and empathize. Depression is a real mean mental enemy that could worsen your status if not handled correctly.
