உங்கள் நினைவுகளை, பல அடுக்குகளை கொண்ட ஒரு பெரிய அலமாரி போல காட்சிப்படுத்திக்கொள்ளுங்கள். புதிதான விஷயங்களை செய்யும் போது, புதிய மனிதர்களை பார்க்கும்போது அந்த அலமாரிக்குள் அவர்களுக்கு ஒரு தற்காலிக இடம் கொடுக்கப்படும். அடிக்கடி பார்ப்பவர்களுக்கும், செல்லும் இடங்களுக்கும் மட்டுமே ஒரு நிரந்தர இடம் கிடைக்கும். இந்த நினைவுகளை கட்டிவைப்பது உணர்வு. பழகிய ஒரு மனிதரை பார்க்கும்போது உங்களுக்கு ஏற்படும் சந்தோஷமும், பிடிக்காத ஒரு நபரை பார்க்கும்போது ஏற்படும் எரிச்சலும் இந்த உணர்வுகளால் தான். ஒரு காலத்தில்ContinueContinue reading “நினைவோ ஒரு அலமாரி”
