The Power of Dear

I am somewhat moved and touched by what a colleague practises in her everyday conversation.

She punctuates sentences with "Dear".

That time i asked her, "Your neighbour's gone out for lunch already?" She glanced up from her pile of work and answered, "I don't know, dear."

Wow! That sorta made my day. Like somebody actually cared and made me feel like a close friend even though we seldom talk to each other.

I should remind myself to be gentler and more caring lah.

On the other hand, if you use words with affectionate feelings tied to it like 'dear' and 'love' so loosely on everybody.

It sorta loses its weight in meaning.
