Zoom In

Funny thing it is, we don’t usually look into our surroundings unless we somehow got ourselves involved. How often do we notice the “P” license on the streets if we didn’t been through the stages? Do we even bother to learn the direction if it wasn’t because of us loving the food at USJ23 or driving all the way to One Utama with friends? Do we not start shopping for earrings only after we can wear them? We may not know how to differentiate Form6 from the lower forms if we have not met one or be one; we may not know the whereabouts of one shop if the people around didn’t introduce us to; we may not know one particular person or teacher if he did not catch our attentions, if he is not a teacher of ours. We go beyond our lines at times just to make sure our friends are alright while we keep a certain distance in between when it comes to strangers. We tend to focus on the things we’ve known rather than those we have not and when we are exposed to one, we would start exploring the world in a better and bigger pace. Similar to the principal of concentrating on one’s weakness or strength, we somehow let the emotions and memories control us, zooming in when we feel like it, when we want to, despite the times where we can’t.
