A small fact and a dose of unsolicited advice.

The fact: 

I’m sure most of you know The Beatles, right? Have you ever tried to listen to their song – Come Together? It’s a funky song but if you read the lyrics, you will find it difficult to understand what it means. Lines like “HE GOT MONKEY-FINGER, HE SHOOT COCA-COLA” and “HE ONE MOJO FILTER. HE SAY ONE AND ONE AND ONE IS THREE” would sort of give you just a hunch these boys at the time may have been so high with LSD and cocaine that it manifested in the way the song was written. Seriously though, it’s not really the case. Each stanza actually describes the four members of the band. Using figures of speech, John Lennon tried to present all of them to the world in weird slang language, hoping that somehow, it would unite the band and have people understand who they really were as individuals.

Now for the piece of advice:

Each one of us is born unique. Unless you use your own DNA to have yourself cloned, no one can follow your blueprint. Some present themselves as plain as white paper and there are so many others who come as messy graffitis. You are like an idiomatic expression that has to be deciphered in order to be understood.

Life is meant to be lived with the purpose of learning from each other. Our world actually serves as a big box where we all come together. Be very slow when you judge people. You may find a great person hiding underneath. Understand and you shall be understood. Learn to respect and you shall be given the same.
