Wish You’d Know That

So, you think you know it all.

Oh yes, you know all about the heart and the head but wish you’d know what’s in my heart that weighs so heavy on my mind.

You certainly believe that crying is therapeutic, but wish you’d know why the tears stood still in the eyes despite threatening to spill over.

I know, you know that laughter is the best medicine but wish you’d know that behind my laugh, I’m falling apart.

They say, knowing the truth, feeling the truth and acting on the truth are three very separate entities, wish you’d know that!

  1. this is so profound “They say, knowing the truth, feeling the truth and acting on the truth are three very separate entities, wish you’d know that!” loved it

  2. Good one. If some one thinks he knows it all that means he does not know a lot of things. There is a proverb in Tamil. “Katradhu Kaimman alavu. Kalladhathu ulagalavu”. (What we know/learnt is equal to the size of sand we can hold in our hand. What we don’t know/yet to learn is the size of this world.)

  3. “…but wish you’d know why the tears stood still in the eyes despite threatening to spill over…They say, knowing the truth, feeling the truth and acting on the truth are three very separate entities, wish you’d know that!”
    Truly deep and rightly said!

  4. They say, knowing the truth, feeling the truth and acting on the truth are three very separate entities, wish you’d know that! How true.Lovely post.

  5. Yes often a smile or laughter hides the sadness inside. We don’t always really know do we? Very nice Shilpa. Quite a different take on the prompt.

    1. Oh yes, we do that often and only very few can see that sadness behind that smile! Thanks Suzy. Glad you liked this story 🙂

  6. The last line about truth being multiple entities is true gem Shilpa. The sad truth is for whatever reasons, more often than not people tend to mask their true feelings.

    1. That’s sadly true… may be that’s because not many can understand your sadness or hiding behind a smile is so much easier than showing your sadness!

  7. Very true. Many times the masks we put on stays with us permanently, and I think it is good in a way, for we don’t want to spoil another person’s mood by spilling over them what we really feel at some moments. I maybe very troubled, but it can never stop me from being myself, that is always smiling, and mind you when I smile, I smile from my heart.

    1. Agree with you about not spoiling somebody’s mood, but at times, you do want to share your sadness with somebody and hiding behind a smile… though we do it often is actually affects us in some or the other way!

  8. “They say, knowing the truth, feeling the truth and acting on the truth are three very separate entities, wish you’d know that!”

    That is so true! Very well written.
