The previous week was nothing short of events(?). The 'gathering' on Sat was rather ok I guess. Nothing much to say about that. It was not too bad. The company was comfortable to be with I guess.
Movie on Tuesday was Wanted. I am a converted Angelina Jolie fan. I am still a Rachel Green fan no less. But I got to admit, they are 2 different distinct type of beauty. I guess Brad Pitt had a change of preference. Or maybe he found the one he was looking for. Late dinner as usual after the movie.
I spent Wednesday at home, reading. I went running later the night. The journey back, I came across this father walking home with his son from the carpark. Not my block, a couple of blocks away. What stuck me so deeply was that his son is missing his left lower arm. Technically it is missing from below the elbow, what remains what a tiny little stump from his elbow. It still make me cringe at the fact as I am writing this. He is no older than 6 by my estimate. What was supposed to be a relaxed and relieved mood after the run turned otherwise after this scene. A lot went through my mind that instance, and for the remaining cooling down stroll home. I guess it made me think about a lot of things. Sometimes we are just ignorant of how lucky we are. Yet we like to take things for granted. Yes I am guilty.
More reading the next day, and I am glad to say I am nearly down with 2 books this week. Great, at least the pile is back to previously. Not much time left to clear the pile. Got to work harder I guess.
Time for something random. A lack of exposure to things normally expected will probably make someone a little different from others? Or when thrusted into what others deemed as familar situations, some people will be at a loss of what to do. Afterall, they were never brought up with such things. I guess with every passing days, turned months and eventually years, they would have lost whatever little memory of the initial exposure. Memories and feelings become distant. Sometimes, it becomes so foreign that they shunned it althogether. Quite simply, they just do not wish to face it. A plausible excuse will be they don't like it.
Things which we are not exposed to will always get the curious better side of us. To the extent that some of us will base our ideal life around those very things that were missing from our very life. Humans are weird. You, me, all.
