Louise,

I’m sensing some pain from your response. Would you like to talk more about it?

Although I would appreciate any feedback for my input, I also accept that some people just need some time to absorb and digest the comments before being able to say something heartfelt. There are also some circumstances that may make her unvailable to respond. Either way, she does not have to if she doesn’t feel like it. We don’t always get all the feedbacks in life anyway.

What matter most is not immediate feedback though. It’s the way we create a ripple effect and its power to continue and pass on the strength to others. It can travel a great distance and reach out to other people unintentionally. A lot of people search the Internet to find some insights into their own struggles. Their search keywords my lead them to this page and they may have been able to find some reliefs right here. We don’t always know how we impact each other’s lives.

Our words and actions plant a seed in others’ heart and it takes time to grow.
We need to be careful with what kind of seeds that we plant and why we plant it.

Are we genuinely helping people if we want something in return?
If we do expect return, what is it really that we want?
Is there something within ourselves that we need to attend to and nurture first before helping others?

I hope you find a way releasing the tension despite being in the midst of this silence.
