many people usually are very busy everyday. rush to work, rush home. rush to work, rush home. everything is done in a rush. well at least that is the way in my country. and it is famous for it. there is this cliche about stopping to look at the grass or flowers or something like that.
during my off days, i like to just sit or lie down and stone. stare at the sky. stare outside the window. enjoy the sunlight coming in through the window. enjoy the peace and quiet in my house. enjoy the breeze. because i dont get this everyday. i too, rush here and there. i too, have many things i need to do.
when i read the light novel series of Sumzumiya Haruhi, i came across a conversation in the story which struck me. in the story there is this ESPer who is called Koizumi Itsuki. well if you read it you should know. he said that even though the world has its fair shares of problems, he still love this world. me too, agree with this statement. no, i am not saying i like the sins of this world or not. look at our world, it do have its beauty.
maybe to you i am saying from the point of a person who never experienced any sufferings of the world, who lived a sheltered life throughout my entire years. maybe you are right. maybe i will hate this world if i live in a war torn country, or maybe i will detest this world if i lived in an abusive home, or maybe i will curse this world if i am born a handicap while others are normal. maybe, you think, i am a hypocrite. maybe.
but since i do not have any great sufferings that i can boast about, and since there are many others like me, being blessed, maybe i will just say something to the world from my standpoint. i still like the world, even though i detest the rapist and the dictators, the slave traders and the many crazy people out there. because, this world does have its beauty. maybe one day, you should just stop. enjoy the peace, enjoy the breeze, the stars, the sun and the moon. look around you and just let your mind settle down. if your home happen to be in the middle of a battleground, well, i dont think you will see this. but if you do, you still can enjoy this world. i think i just got it, i love this world for its natural condition, the way God created it. humans messed up this world pretty much. yea, i enjoy the nature. too bad i didnt live near the sea.
maybe, if you decide to listen to me, and settle down, ignore the time, and enjoy this world which we only have that few years to enjoy, maybe you will find something which i found, or maybe something even more than me. maybe.
