a poignant street play...

"how are you?"

yesterday i was driving alone to the gym after work and at one traffic light i saw a street boy, not more than 8 years old carrying his sister who was probably still 2 or 3 years old. it was definitely a touching sight...both of them were extremely dirty, wearing tattered and unkept clothes but i can see that they were enjoying each other's company. the boy went on hugging the little sister happily, not caring the people and vehicles around them...it was almost "beautiful", i even wanted to take a picture but the traffic light turned green before i got my hands on my digicam :(

*sigh* i guess that is what you call true happiness...you know sometimes we get that, 5 minutes of pure true happiness in our busy irritatingly sucky day. it makes your whole day of cursing and being cursed at worth while...

sometimes i think that's the problem with the society; we are expected to move forward ALL the time. when we stand still and take a deep breath, that would mean we are not using our full potential. is that true? highly arguable probably.

let's try to cherish those moments when we ignore our surroundings and are able to enjoy ourselves immensely without caring the world that is revolving around us. take the time to ask ourselves: "how are you?" and attempt to answer it honestly and unabridged.
