Two things

Now that I sit down and look back at myself, I realize that despite all the people I have met and all the education I received and all the good, bad and ugly experiences I have been through, there have only been two things that make sense to me. Everything else is relative. I find these to be the most fulfilling – the reasons for my total happiness: To love another with all my heart, and to make a difference.

I am the Guy who has dissected love for many months now. I am lucky enough to have seen it and felt it. I’d tell you now; there is nothing more satisfying in life than to love another. When love makes sense the whole world falls into place—every single thing. You build a connection. You show each other the darkest parts of yourselves without fearing that the other would run screaming for the hills. The best feeling you will ever experience is being completely vulnerable in front of someone without any fear.

The other is making a difference. No, I am not talking about opening up an orphanage, or giving millions of rupees in charity. Those are great; I am not undermining what great heroes in the past have done for us but I am not in the position and neither are most of us ordinary people. At the same time, I have never really wanted to go out and save the world either. To me, there is more comfort in touching someone when they are down, to hold someone’s hand when they are alone, to walk with them for a mile just because I can. To smile at someone with no strings attached. And to listen - we don’t listen. We hear but we don’t listen. We need to listen.

I like to touch. Human touch is very comforting—a friendly hug, a pat on the back, a mischievous nudge, a kiss. You’d be surprised at how people would react if you would just reach out and touch them.

You know, when I look at myself, I realize that I am only one, but still I am one. I see that I cannot do everything, but I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do. So, I will touch. I will listen. I will kiss. And I will love.
