It was a couple of week’s back, that I was ruminating with one of my friends, when this topic came up. "None understands me", my friend remarked with a sense of disgust. "Not even my parents..." he continued. Though I did not say anything then, I thought of jotting down my thoughts on my blog.
The first question that I want to raise here is- why should we be understood? Why this need to be understood by someone?
The roots of this "need to be understood" are penetrated deep inside. It is the feeling of "need to sub-ordinate" in other words. You perform an act and when it doesn't go well with "our" people and they protest, we come out with this "none understand me" line. Basically, our tendency is free will without opposition. This is an intrinsic human behavior and is harmless.
People have their own interests and their own life. They are not mere audience on the stage of life; they are our co-actors.
We should understand that we are different people- whether it is our parents/close ones/friends etc- and will have different opinion about different topics. It is in fact very difficult to find any two people with even 50% matching interests/opinions. Then isn't it natural to face opposition/criticism? Then what is this ado about "people not understand me"?
First, and curiously last too, we should understand ourselves and that will clear all our virtual problems. The path of life is majorly a lonely walk.
