Between the lines...
One glance at a book or while watching a movie you connect with a person outside of you. You read or hear a voice of a person maybe dead for many years and you are left voyaging through time and space. With every turn of a page or a new scene a door opens up to a different world where you could look for refuge or a connection and find peace. There have been many things left unsaid and unheard..and reading between the lines can only take you either way to understanding or misjudgments, as rightly quoted by Serge Schmemann "The art of reading between the lines is as old as manipulated information". I can pen down hundreds of lines and list out a million quotes but there would only be a handful who would get to the depths. In our fast paced and stressful lives most people dont listen or read with the intent to imbibe or understand but rather to retort. We are left running after things that wont even matter in maybe a year or a month's time, as life passes us by.
