A time comes in every person's life when they wish they could understand another person's thoughts, feelings, innermost desires... Telempathy would have been a boon to mankind. For is not the failure to understand another person the sole reason for interpersonal strife? Such a boon would have ensured no communication gaps, no misunderstandings, no quarrels and fights...
But we humans are strange beings. Paradoxical in out very nature... We are like the Moon. We can shine so bright and beautiful. And at the same time we all have our dark side... And there is a reason why the dark side of the Moon is never visible to Man... We are capable of so much love, at the same time, so much hatred too. We can be so positive and hopeful, and at the same time so negative and destructive... We are so full of promise. And at the same time we hold such darkness in the deepest recesses of our hearts. Darkness that can hurt not only us but our near and dear ones. We are somehow, not always capable to face the harshest of facts and realities of life. No wonder, we prefer illusion over transparency... Hence wisdom dictates that some thoughts are best kept to ourselves. Some secrets are best never revealed. Some feelings are best buried deep in the darkness of our hearts... And some words are best left unsaid...
And when one realizes this, then one can thank the powers that be for not granting us the curse of understanding each others thoughts, feelings and innermost desires. It has saved us from destroying each other, and ourselves... It has saved us from emotional turmoil, and a certain insanity... It has saved us from ourselves...
