How often do we say these words? How often do we wish we knew certain things, certain truths, about people, about the world, about ourselves?
Had I known she was grieving, I would have been kinder...
Had I known he was hungry, I would have shared my food with him...
Had I known she was depressed, I would have been more thoughtful...
Had I known how lonely they were, I would have spent more time with them...
Had I known they were anxious, I would have held their hand...
Had I known how sick they were, I would have offered my jacket...
Had I known today was their last day on Earth, I would have given them a hug.
Why don't we do these things anyway?
Why don't we become present, thoughtful, generous, loving & supportive people regardless of what we know? Why do we set harsh parameters on the boundless nature of human interaction? Why do we become sterile and technical, even in moments where it's not necessary? Granted, some situations depend on the capacity that one has in regard to tending to the needs of another.
But still, why do you wish you knew?
Why not try finding out, learning the other person and the situation they're in?
I hope I never get to say this often; 'I Wish I Knew'....
