Belong

There are times when you sit alone,doing nothing..it's just you and your moment.Time passes slowly and the atmosphere suddenly feels so quiet,so still that you could hear yourself thinking out loud.

You watch other people that you do not know at all; walking pass you,rushing through the corner of the street in a hurry,some are strolling leisurely and have this brilliant smile on their faces,some seem to suffocate,as if they were drowning in their sea of problems-all of them,even those who are not moving a limb of their muscles,are struggling to catch a living.

It is evident that some get the best that life has to offer and some barely make it out in vain while the other half just happened to be in the middle.How unfair life could be?One would look up the sky and questioned God.

Looking back into your own life-the family you have with you,and your supporting friends..did it ever dawned on you that you're actually alone?

Think of the people you meet along the way-the shopkeeper you barely know,the cafe owner you used to greet,the garbage collector you always thank for cleaning up the mess,the child who cycled in front of your house daily,the neighbour who walk his dog every morning..
Who are these people to you?

It is indeed remarkable to think how the universe bring us all in, that we are actually a part of  something,a part of someone's life.It is an honour to be accepted as part of it and the acts of gratitude that follow warms your heart and create a sense of belonging.The need to belong is essential for our well being.If not,there might not be the need of having family,group of friends or even a society.

You need me,and I need you too.
