I don’t know what I want my words to do. May be, like most people, I what to be understood. Sometimes, I want my questions to be answered. Other times, the only thing I want is somebody to respond to my greetings. It sounds easy, but isn’t it? Yet, if I think of it, everybody wants to be understood, but no one makes the first step. We assume that the first step should to be done by other people. Each of us talks on the cell phone when we drive (at list one time). We walk with ipod or mp3. We don’t care what happens around us. We don’t watch out, and we don’t listen anything. We assume that people see us even we don’t see them. We assume that people will hear us, even we don’t hear them. This is the reason why I believe that my words may not be heard. Besides, I know that I couldn’t make any difference using my words. We are enclosed in our word of glass, and nothing seems to go out or get in. You don’t believe me? Just, count how many times you say “hello” to somebody you don’t know, although you have seen his/her face many times. Or can you count how many times people answer any of your greetings?
