Observing...something that a day dreamer like me would enjoy doing.Have you ever tried lounging at a cafe enjoying a nice drink whilst watching the life theater from the window sit.What would that feel like?What would you,the watcher make of the roles laid out before that wide screen in front of you?Would you watch with curiosity as each roles?Would you watch enviuosly?Or would you watch dreamily?
Observing...it's a job,scientist are paid and they want to observe all that changes or stays the same in a research to discover new technology or cures for diseases or even an understanding that they lack.
Observing...a really time wasting activity.It's so boring that one would just get fed up of looking at things,people and the world..But think about it,if given the time and by chance you really end up at a cafe for hours by the window sit or just on a bench in a park,shopping complex or even in a public area any where...What would observing the life theater be like for you?
For me,I have to agree that it is a really boring thing but I also have to admit it's funny to just once in a while play the role of the watcher.You get to see how people are when they are rushing to work,when they are just walking around the shopping complex,when they are waiting for someone,when they look sad,happy,angry,confused,frustrated,nuetral or just plain bored,when they are talking to friends or anyone,when they are on the phone and so much more.
Really boring eh?Well,it is but come to think of it,God made all of us so unique that we rarely see the exact expression or reaction everyone has.I remember I once laughed out when I saw a little boy playing by himself while waiting for his mom to finish with whatever she's doing.The reason I laughed is because that little boy tried in so many ways and so many times in fact to run from the same spot his mom made him stand but his mom would still catch him any how.For him,that is the worst torture...To WAIT.
A normal person or let's just say normally people would say that kid is just naughty or he's just bored of doing things he least wants to do or he is very playful.I had the same thoughts on my mind but after a long while of staring and onserving I noticed that the little boy more than trying to run off and play he actually wanted to get his mom's attention.He knows by standing there and waiting won't get him anywhere or anything,so he uses action to speak for him.
Still in our minds,that kid is naughty and mischievous,which I do not disagree but has it occur to us that sometimes when we fail to observe,we miss out on what is actully happening?Yes,that little boy is childish in his ways of seeking attention but think about this,it was hard to know what his true intentions are by just a glance,isn't it?If it was hard to guess what that little boy was trying to do,then what about guessing what a grown up is actually up to?What about knowing what is it our family,spouse or friends are trying to do?
Being humans,we tend to hide things but sometimes we do want to open up which is hard because we don't know what to start up a conversation for such a topic or what does one do to get our close ones to notice that we want to talk.Of course we should just speak up and tell them but we just get so reluctant...I can get really impatient sometimes and very temperamental but I will regret more for not noticing sometimes the obvious signs the ones close to me are showing.It's like a policeman dissing a distress call.
But...sometimes despite our truly self fish nature whether by accident or on purpose,God often gives us a secong chance to try again.We might not and are not expected to be there for them 24/7 but sometimes being human also,we could try to observe those around us.Maybe by being there or just talking to them can help them or at least ease their worries rooted so deep within.
We don't play heroes,life savers or God..we just paly the role of a human, self fish and also humane enough to care.It's not like we need to put up a radar or anything but just try to notice off and on,that's more than enough I think.
Another quote;
People that discovers a cure,their called scientists;Poeple that rescues the distressed,their called policemen;People that fought for the injustice,their called lawyers;People that where there for you...their called FRIENDS.
