"The thing we are most terrified of is Asking. Everybody struggles with asking. But it actually is not the fear of asking that haunts and paralyzes us but it is the fear of being vulnerable, the fear of being rejected, the fear of presenting oneself as week and needy, the fear of being too burdensome to the human community which fundamentally leads to our separation from each other. Also it is mostly the fear of getting a "NO" back is what is holding us back but to be absolutely true it is only when we get a "NO" are we actually asking someone something. If there is no "NO" it is actually begging and demanding. That "NO" has to come.
All of us in everyway wants to be seen, noticed, understood, acknowledged, known, accepted and connected without any judgments and walls between us that would restrain it from happening. You know, Asking, in itself is the fundamental building block of any relationship. Asking connects people, it is about collecting, connecting and sharing. We always ask either consciously, carelessly, usually, indirectly each other in order to mould and maintain our relationship with one another. We often connect with people, get to know them better, learn and collect something from every soul, and share them-which becomes a chain binded by all the people around. If we clearly observe: No body is a scared body. Everybody is just a bunch of people when they talk and open-up. There shouldn't be a problem in asking. We ought to ask constantly, creatively, compassionately and gracefully."
When we really see each other, We want to help each other.
