Making Them Big,Making Them Happy.

I believe that making someone happy gives oneself  the pleasure that can't actually be explained with words.Sure we all love gloating about stuff we like,stuff we know about the world,the latest gossip,or anything for that matter that we know more than the others.We are eager to show off our knowledge,and we research every possible thing about it.In this way,when we are out there in front of people talking about it,we are sure and confident in what we are saying.It gives us a feeling of superiority when we see that we know more than the others,see them stand in awe.Its a human nature,somewhere or the other,we all feel the same.

      But sometimes,making someone else,your loved one, feel big;the big smile on their face when they explain 'their thing' is overwhelming.

          My best friend has a very strong vocabulary,writes stories and is excellent at it.So obviously,she's a little proud about it and sometimes doesn't realize that others can know complicated words too,which is funny.So that day her word of the day was 'genre' and she didn't expect me to know it (because most probably it was new to her).She asked me-"What's your favorite genre?"And she said genre with the proper accent.Something's fishy,I thought,because she had never ever used that word before.And by the look on her face,I could tell that she was ready to give me a full length explanation of that word.I wanted to smile but I didn't. So I just said, "Umm...what?"And this was enough  of her to launch into a full fledged explanation. And trust me,her eyes were literally shining the whole time.She seemed so happy to know that she knew something that  I didn't. And it made me happy to see her happy.

            So its not always a matter of competition.You can get to that later on.And its completely a different issue.Making yourself small to make someone happy is different.Its worth it.
