Seeing ourself in other's eyes!

I have been waiting to blog on this topic for close to 3 years now. Every time, I try to do it, I write half way through it and stop for some reason; may be because , I wasn't confident enough of what I was trying to convey or I wasn't convinced if what I am trying to convey is going to make sense to at least one soul that reads it. But now , something in me is pushing me to write about this. Probably it is the impact of the movie we watched over the weekend that is driving me to write about "Seeing ourself in other's eyes!". Affection and Love are two brittle things that have to be handled with care. They cannot be mis-used or mistaken any time, for it deeply affects the person who is ready to shower it on us or who is actually showing it on us. Most of us don't know how to value the affection someone shows towards us. We would be longing for someone else to shower it on us , while we remain blind to some poor soul who is actually living for us. Some of us cannot understand the value of the feeling that someone has towards us. In fact, most of us dodge them away for some temporary problem of ours. We have to understand that "Life itself is temporary and we really cannot make decisions considering just the temporary near future in mind". We can derive happiness from a simple smile we see on the face of someone dear to our heart or a small note of thanks and gratitude showered on us from a small kid whom we helped cross the road. When love and affection can exist even in the smallest of the things we see in life, in the eyes of others whom we help , can we not reciprocate it to someone else ? When someone can make us happy and keep us smiling for 2 minutes in a day, can't we do the same to others ? Each and every one of us should sit and think, how does another person look at us. If they value us, our thoughts, lets try to respect that. We won't find many people who respect us and love our thoughts. We should try to live for those special souls and ensure we make them happy while we are happy as well. Let's start seeing ourselves in the eyes of others. How they value us and our relationship with them is what is going to keep both of us happy and give us a contended life.
