I was travelling last weekend and reached early at the airport.. I had not much to do so i thought let me watch this mela/ crowd of people at airport.. people coming and going....
I saw a lot of faces which were tired and many lost in thought, some chatting up with their friends/ family they were travelling with... All grown up in some sense were lost.. the only engaged and happy were the kids which had no boundaries and they charm the people around them, they were making relationships with all and sundry around them....
That is no new observation but i was wondering what if all grown ups become like that, like those kids... will it be better or worse? Let me explain what it will mean, it will mean that i and all grown ups start smiling and chatting up without any reservations with people around, establish a relationship.. do not judge them and do not have any facade keeping it formal.. don't have any fear of being judged.. Don't have to think of an opening line for communication it will be direct and a conversation full of love... it will be kind of coming to that school alumni meet and meeting long lost friends who you have not spoken for years... It is about boundary less relationships ... about breaking barriers if one knows the person.. it will require a lot of trust... The people we chat with also will require to be trusting and not think oops my privacy is being invaded why is he/ she bothering me... It will mean giving up many facades of being independent...
All those hundreds of people will be chatting and laughing at the airport than sitting waiting for their flight boarding to be announced and tiring themselves... They will just be in a meaningful loving relationship.. they will be in the moment...
All of us other than chasing materialistic goals of money, fame etc long for acceptance from people.. and what it takes is just a bit of trust, conversation and being non judgmental... it will be fulfilling for all.. with some you will strike a chord and may make long lasting friendship...
I wonder if this is possible and what makes us not be able to do so...... In small villages/ townships some time back people used to have such kinship....
