“The trouble with being an Unseen” (wknd. 24 Feb 2017) must
have touched a deep chord in many hearts. I see a hint of sadness behind
humorous depiction of Unseen’s failed attempts to draw attention, having
experienced the same myself at many occasions. Of late, I have realized that
others don’t see us because we don’t see ourselves in the first place. What I
mean is we fail to accept and appreciate ourselves ‘as we are’. And, in the
process of imitating others, we lose our authenticity. This reflects in our
body language making us ‘Unseen’.
It is like a vendor selling some merchandise. Nobody will
pay him/her even a cent more than the price tag fixed by the vendor for those merchandise. Whatever
value the seller assigns to his/her produce, the same value buyer will pay or
negotiate. So, it is up to us – what value we assign to ourselves. Treat
yourself with respect & dignity and the whole world would do the same to
you.
