Power of language.
There was this experience I had recently which made me believe firmly that language is by and far the most powerful cord that binds people together.
I was walking down a side street and got to hear snatches of a conversation spoken in a language I have not heard in a long time. It took me right back to happier times when I spoke the same way. I went along discreetly just to hear what they were saying and grinning all along ofcourse they could have called the cops on me I must have appeared that weird !
There is something about sounds that we recognize and respond to almost like homing pigeons. This is definitely the most awesome tool man may have come up with.
