Hello
It is
absolutely true that only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches. It is very
easy to make fun of people in trouble; but when the same trouble afflicts us
our attitude to life and miseries of others undergoes a drastic change.
In the
chapter, The Letter, we see this transformation in two persons; first Ali, the
second was the postmaster. Ali gave up hunting innocent animals after Miriam
suddenly left him. The pain of separation made him sensitive to the pain of the
animals.
The
postmaster was also transformed after a painful experience. The arrogant
postmaster, who earlier had behaved so callously and rudely with Ali for
inquiring about whether there was any letter for him from Miriam, was
completely transformed after he himself underwent the pain of not hearing any
news about his own sick daughter who lived in a distant town. Now he empathized
with Ali. He wondered he could not bear the suspense concerning his daughter's
health only for one night, and how Ali must have gone through the painful suspense
concerning his daughter, Miriam, for five years! He felt remorseful for his
misbehavior. Coincidentally, when he saw Miriam's letter addressed to Ali, he
picked it up excitedly thinking he would hand over the letter himself. He
realized the truth. He no longer thought of letters in terms of envelopes and
postcards. Now he saw the essential human worth of a letter. He watched them as
eagerly as though each contained a warm, beating heart.
