All it takes to understand

Neither I neither you have to be told about how uncertain life can be. We fear about the safety of our near and dear ones so much so that we lose our sleep and hunger over it. Last night, Pinky was returning from US to India via Abu Dhabi when her plane caught in a storm. The storm hit the plane twice and was so bad that red alert was struck. The situation inside the plane was terrible. Morale was beyond the nadir. God wasn't more nearer ever to the traumatized bounty. Clearly, one is at a brink to understand how much we love our own lives... how much we love life...how much we love our dear ones.

That's all it takes us to understand. Pain to our own kindred. And only then we know and empathize the pain and trouble of people who have been through similar circumstances.

I thought life shouldn't surprise me any more. However, it continues to. In all it's myriad ways.
