"Meeting you is a miracle"
Today, I think I heard the most humble compliment of my life from my lab-mate.
Never, ever, did I think or even expect to hear such a sweet yet deep thing from someone here…
“It’s a miracle to meet you, you know”he said. "There are 6 billion people on Earth; we are from two different worlds and we get to meet. So keeping in touch with you is important for it is very unique for us to meet. There is some kind of wisdom, sometimes, behind meeting some special people. And meeting you is precious: we can learn from one another s different life experiences. I value that. It is not everyday I get to meet people from your end. It is not everyday you get to meet people from a world that is not yours.", he explained.
Hearing such words was enlightening. It made me realize how grateful I am to my Lord for giving me this opportunity to travel the world and get to know certain individuals that I might have never encountered had I led an ordinary living…It also made me value every single person I came across in my life. The fact that we had to meet up, the simple fact that we were destined to cross ways, is enough reason to consider these people, indeed special or precious...and to ponder about it!!
Well, we might keep in touch. We might not. But, in my mind, you shall always exist.
