FAMILY - reply to Jonson comment +)
Johnson wrote; I just happened to stumble on this cool quote too and so instead of rambling on about emotions which makes the average guy less average, i decide to take pride to invade your personal blog space with a quote from t.s eliot on his judegment of a typical family:
‘Two people who know they do not understand each other,
Breeding children whom they do not understand
And who will never understand them’
*sob sob* i am feeling emotional already.

Hmm in my opinion common ppl like us cant even understand ourselves- our feelin, etc then how can we understand other individualssss…………………..
We can try to show understanding to someone’s actions, but its hard to understand someone personally - in n out, cos we cant see thru ppls mind n soul or what are they feelin at that moment… unless if ur a powerful psychic hehehehhehe
ANyway glad uve given some quotes as well - so that we may debate and see others point of view in things

Yes its life I acknowledge it but still its quite sad because a majority of family these days are or that sort. Its isolation, empty aloneness, loneliness, seclusion of 2 people, parallelism of seperate lives in marriages etc affecting the next generation of people and the heirachy follows as we the young when we grow up, we will subconciously follow our parents foodstep and make the same mistakes as them. On and on it goes never ending and only breaks with insightful knowledge.

we can only do our best. Did u know that research says that 75-85% of all communication is non verbal! There are things, signs we can use to understand the person more even though he is not actually saying it. Tone, pitch of voice, posture, body movements, clarity&structure of content often reveals more than what the person is actually saying. So think of as seeing through people’s mind. Having the skills to pick up the signs is altogether a different issue
