Conversations Across Divides

Mubassira Rahman 9D

Conversations across divides can be both challenging and enlightening. The fact that some of the most unenlightening and contradicting conversations of mine were those of my friends is a sorrow I shall bear for life. How do you convince your friend that the reason your teacher gives you the credit is because you lead the whole team or the reason why everyone asks your opinion while an event is to be held in school. For it’s not the question of shallow mindsets but of miscommunication and gap in understanding, we can’t blame the one who accuses but not even the one accused. Maybe the friendship just lacked a conversation but when the solution is a hesitant one to act upon, a friendship grimaces and shrinks in the corner. Every talk stands a tall, every smile we shared bright, for maybe one day when we meet, we shall be unknown friends who once kept everything known.
