The dry lips demand just one thing and that is moisture. An empty stomach needs some food and a thirsty body craves for a sip of water. Apart from it, there are too many needs of the mind, body, and soul that varies from person to person and according to the society in which she lives.
Have you ever wondered who decides what you really need for yourself?
Have you ever asked this question why you really need anything at all?
Just because your neighbors drink tea in a ceramic cup you also need that, leaving behind the truth that you’re not interested in tea at all. So what it matters whether the cup is ceramic or porcelain.
What you’re collecting, the fabrics of artifice?
What you want to show, you can offer coffee instead of tea or the tea in a better cup?
Or are you interested to know whether your guest has a taste for tea or not?
All you’re interested in what the other is offering that rotates just around the fabric of the cup?
But do you ever think of taste of the tea?
Whether your guest really needs a tea or not?
Or more than ever you care that whether your friend now as a guest neither need coffee nor the tea but just a sip of water because her lips are dry.
You can also offer her a lipstick, lip guard or the lip gloss to moisten the lips but
that will not satisfy her thirst of water.
It doesn’t matter what you have on your table to offer but what matters really is the ‘need’ of the other person.
What you want to offer may not satisfy her needs. Because needs always depend on the person and her current situation. “Offer what she needs not what you want to offer.”
So the next time when your lips are dry use a lip gloss. It’s your choice.
And if the lips of your friend are dry. Think at least once what to offer.
Maybe she needs just a sip of water and you’re offering a lip gloss.
That’s ridiculous!
