The right message in the wrong situation

The right message in the wrong situation

A poor man was listening to a discourse by a priest for some time; the priest asked, "Dear son, what did you understand from my discourse?"

The poor man replied, " I understood that you spoke something about heaven, suffering, blessings, etc., without understanding my pain."

The priest asked, "My dear son, what is your pain?"

The poor man said since it has been more than three days since I ate a meal.

The priest asked," Why?"

The poor man replied, "I didn't know whether to sit and eat my meal or run from aerial shelling."

The priest was silent for a while. The poor man said," When the life is at stake, any spiritual or religious discourse is just a cacophony."

The priest told the organiser to serve some food.

Sometimes, the right message might sound wrong, not because of the message but because of the situation in which it is delivered.

Know your audience's needs before you pen down your speech.

Jaby was the most admired person in any forum; when Jaby picked the mic, the audience pulled themselves to the edge of the chair. Jaby was casual in his appearance, but he was a thorough professional everywhere. During COVID, if there was one person whom I counted on to help people, it was Jaby; his car was filled with masks, sanitizer and an oxygen concentrator. His social bent of mind made him a good Samaritan. Jaby was a curious child, whenever we both met, he was curious to improve his skills and knowledge, and his quest for development was limitless. Jaby and I collaborated in the year ...
