People on social networks update their statuses all the time, I am guilty of it, too. Mostly it would be about what we are doing, will be doing, something about nothing, something that will be forgotten as soon as the next update replaces the one before it.
Some updates are vague, but if you look closer there are layers of hidden meanings beneath them. These will stay with you for a long time because at the moment of comprehension, the writer and you have touched and connected.
One such is "the greatest distance on earth is not between continents...". Knowing the writer, the phrase translates to "the greatest distance is between two people". The sadness implied is impenetrable.
One is about the writer feeling like an alien, not understanding what earth people think. It is not a random status. Suffice to say the writer has discovered a fellow alien and one alien has felt the heaviness of the other through space.
People wished to be listened on an emotional level, to be comprehended. My wish is for more people to listen with their hearts. Remember Le petit prince?
