In the comfort of my
own little space I sat. My world is what I created within the four walls.
Caressed and pampered by the loved ones, I found all that I wanted in this
world of mine. I started to believe that everything that could possibly exist
in the world is what I've seen, I've known and I've experienced.
Just then my attention
was drawn to the little window at the farthest corner. The window I've been
most familiar with arouse avid thoughts this time. Curiosity called to find out
what new could be there through that window. As I looked through, I saw through
it. Under the scorching sun, life moved rapidly in front of my eyes. Clearly
people did not have time for each other. Those barely 10 years old seem to have
a hectic schedule. A few in rags fight
for a living, men and machines on roll, certainly the former was wearier.
Nature, routine and life were blended into one.
No matter how old or young, there is always a
special liking for the space beside the window, from classroom to corporate,
buses to airplanes we always fight for one, don’t we? But do you see what I
see? A whole new world!
Through the window, the
farthest foreseeable end of the world for sure should be the beginning of
another one. True nature has so much in similar of life and interestingly so
much to offer. Between the sky and land, far and wide, above and deep beneath
are different classes of people and beings, different nations, culture,
history, friends, strangers, different hurdles, goals to reach, all that is
known and unknown. I begin to wonder what I’m yet to explore. Rather how little I've explored. It’s funny who we trick ourselves for not experiencing all that
we want to; too young, too old, too rich, too poor, too timid, too daring etc.
etc.
It is rightly said, ‘A
ship is safe at the harbor, but definitely not the reason why it was built’. I
might be safest in the world of mine but wouldn't that be a crime to walk past
the opportunities that waits, to easily ignore the talents bestowed and to find
the place that is destined?
Time to jump out of the
window, get set to explore, step outside the world I created for myself and
break limits. For whatever reason it was built, thanks to the window that
linked the two beautiful worlds. Indeed a few hours well spent and this seems
to be the most convincing purpose of it.
