Dear Friend...

I know I am not supposed to be doing this right now during office hours.
I have got some crap coding to do , but somehow I just can’t put my mind to it right now.
So decided to pen down whatever is in my mind.

You feel so disappointed when you can’t do something to help a person in need. You just don’t know what to do. The fact is, one of my close friend is going through a tough phase in life. I don’t know what to tell the person and comfort. I don’t know what comforting words to tell, because I myself don’t believe in whatever I am saying. For every comforting sentence I try to say, I am getting questioned back. All I can do is just listen to whatever this person has to tell, but this person is not even talking. Well there is nothing much to say. Whatever has happened, has happened. You can’t sit and talk about it when you know nothing is going to change.
What would you do when you have longed for something so much, you have prayed for it, taken so much pain and in the end you lose it. Why doesn’t God listen to such sincere prayers ? Not just the prayers of one single person, a lot of people’s prayers for the very same thing. I guess the sorrow caused to us by not answering our prayers will be less, when compared to the sorrows caused to a lot of other people by answering our prayers. That’s the only comforting thing I can find.
You feel so helpless in such situations. Especially when you owe so much to this person. A person who has helped me a lot, who has saved me from a sinking ship. Got me up on my own legs, changed the whole world for me. Helped me through the most rough phase of my life. The person who gave me a lot of courage to face the tough situation, showed me what is right and wrong. I know how this person feels since I have gone through something like this in my life, but not to this extend.
Dear friend, I know that anything I say right now will not make sense to you. I can understand what you are going through. I know I do not have comforting words for you right now. But if at all there is anything I can do to help you, please tell me. You can call or mail me any time you want to talk. My prayers will always be with you.

“Sometimes you just have to turn your back and walk away....Whether you walking out on your friends, your family, or the love of your life...Sometimes walking away is the hardest thing to do but the best thing in the end.......”
