It's the loud B-flat minor chord struck at the bottom of the register, the ebony keys small but strong under fingertip. There's an edge to the sound that resonates, reverberates bone-deep. And it's a sad day when such a sound is ignored simply because it is unpleasant for us.

For years, I had thought that if we just tried to listen and understand each other in the contexts of ourselves, we would feel seen and loved. Sure, there's some give and take, but I had thought that it would all come out equal-ish in the end so it didn't matter. It's only now that I'm realizing the extent of my unfortunate naivety. I suppose we're not meant to listen, not meant to be understood. Everyone is so busy with their own lives that they don't have the room to be able to think of others. And so when you tell someone else that at least, just for right now, things are not okay... it falls on unwilling ears.

And no, things are not okay.

    Equal is something people are divided on, i believe that equal is the two parties and look at it like a sin graph how the line and curves go up and down equally and if you think of that like the technique for gluing wood known as fingering that creates a much more powerful bond than just equality ^^, its a give and get given relationship. Unfortunantly alot of people aren't this way and that is why is is vitally important that we dont change from the good people we are, yes improve but not change, people will begin to emulate you for this and thus those ideals will spread and what you are wanting will be found or seen ^^

    Other times those that are willing to listen are various individuals that the person doesn't want to speak to.

    It's true. Both of the comments. I guess I just have to keep believing that somehow, sometime, people will eventually see people and love people for who they are. Even if it doesn't really seem like it right now.

    Especially right now.

    Well by nature humans cant love each other as a whole ^^', we are built to sway and to bicker and fight, so we cant every fully love each other but we can get close by understanding each other's position and accepting our differences etc
