A penny for my thoughts
Well , i realized that more often than not i tend to observe my surroundings and allow my thoughts to run wild ... So here's a new type of post ' A penny for my thoughts ' where what i observed will be written down ... Last sat , while being on bus 131 to novena to take a train i realized something interesting yet saddening ... As i entered the bus i looked around and saw quite a few different groups of people sitting on the chairs , they were mostly sitting alone on double chairs ... As the bus reached the stop before where i dropped i watched as 3 guys sitting far apart from each other exited the bus , 2 teenagers and 1 middle age man ... I noticed that the 2 teenagers were generally wearing the same color shirt and pants and as they exited the bus they climbed the overhead bridge and starting chatting , as i looked on i realized that they were brothers ... The middle aged man in front of both of them turned out to be their dad ... As i watched them i could not help but feel a little hint of sadness in me , 2 brothers and their dad going out together yet not willing to sit with each other and isolate themselves from the other ... As i looked on i realized that sometimes the people who are closest to you 'physically' turns out to be the ones that are furthest away from us ... Though seeing them daily , the thought of wanting to draw close never occurs and somehow we are drawn to people who we do not really know and dont see often ... How truly saddening relationships have become ... hmmm ...
