You know that time when you really want to talk to someone. That moment when you feel weak in your knees, a little heavy in your heart and definitely a flood in your eyes. When you are trying to explain something and sometimes what you say goes totally opposite to what you want to convey.

When you and the other person are almost on the same lines, asserting similar thoughts yet differ in opinion. You both literally mean the same thing, still fail to fathom the fact of the other persons feelings.

You mean no harm or disrespect but your words are misinterpreted and you don’t have a way out to put it right.

Yes, this is exactly when trying to understand each other turns into disagreeing with each other.

At times you just want the other person to listen. To accept what you say without any judgements, any questions, any assertion.
Just a simple clear talk without the fear of being misunderstood.

Sometimes, agreeing to disagree is also a way out. Probably a neat, cleaner way to conclude a discussion. Winning is not always necessary and especially from a person who is already fragile at the moment, who has come to seek comfort in you, who wants a shoulder to lean on, an open mind to listen, maybe not always but just for that moment.

Listening to someone without disagreeing can comfort a troubled mind who just needs some rest. if i am coming to you it does not mean i cannot handle myself, eventually everybody can and everybody does, its just that i trust you and you hold a place which i value, not just words, every so often intentions and feelings behind them can be sought-after.

When one is in a vulnerable position, you’ll be at a higher place bringing her/him to a comfortable corner, by providing a sense of comfort, assuring that you know what is she going through. One shares only when one loves. Being practical can rest for a while when there is a whirlwind of emotions. Even the strongest can lie down for a while, even the wittiest can stammer, even the toughest can cry.

A conversation about how you feel should be fearless and should not end in an argument.
If it does, you are already in a wrong position, pouring your self in a already full glass which doesn’t have the capacity to hold any more.

You can have your turn to win or express but for once….. please listen…. maybe someone needs you then! Maybe, we need to realise that giving in for a while does not mean giving up.
