I often observe people who move together as
friends. They certainly do fulfill some needs of each other. And everyone has
different needs.
But, over a period of time, I have
understood one thing. It is very important to understand the language of
silence among friends. You don’t always have to be exuberant, always chatty at
90 words per minute. Sometimes, you just have quiet moments. And these could
extend to longer periods for some. What happens is that people often distance
themselves in some cases can’t call them friends. I find quiet people have
fewer understanding people around them.
At the end of the day, we are talking about
each one’s journey and different strokes for different folks. Underlying this
is a strong bond of compassion, empathy and understanding. And this bond
understands silences. If It doesn’t, people will naturally move away from each
other. Relationships thrive on depth of understanding.
