What words can do? 

Dear Jeyamohan,

I have been reading this site for more than 2 months. The short articles and question answers are really thought-provoking. However, I find myself trapped in the confines of modern life. I have to work for 14 hours a day; travel time is 4 hours. I’ve only been sleeping for 5 hours. I suffer from severe sleeping problems and also struggle with anxiety. What purpose do these words serve for me? I find myself imprisoned within a dimly lit chamber. You’re advising me from afar. Mere words. In this media era, words are the most abundant thing in the world. Sorry to say this.

Dear R

Yes, I know the limitations of my words. I know I am talking to the generation of prisoners of technology and consumerism. If the doors are locked from outside, nothing can be done. You must either break the lock or perish. If the doors are actually locked from inside and you don’t know the reality, these words can help you find the key. I was also in a dark cell, and I found my key. I’m actually talking about it.
