Wondering Wednesday

Have you ever wondered why you can’t differentiate these faces:

as shows of joy or shows of despair; as a twisted facial expression overcome by emotion of happiness or emotion of sadness; as tears erupted from a broken barrier of euphoria from achievement or heartbreak from failure?

Have you also wondered why no matter how happy children are, they will not cry? Now, if that’s true, when do children cross into the realm of emotion where they’ll be so happy that they’ll cry?

Wondering Wednesday

One, two, three, four. Legs together. Front legs lifts. As the weigh shifts gradually to the back, muscles of hind legs harden up. With a firm push against the ground, all the weighs lift from the ground. Focusing on the hurdle in front, front legs curl up as much as possible to avoid the obstructing bar. As the hind legs leave the ground, the momentum provided by the jump carries all weighs to the top of the obstacles. For a brief moment, all weigh are floating in the air. Effortless. As the momentum dies down, the weighs starts their downward motion. Front legs stretch towards the landing spot. Touch down. As the rest of the body follows through, front legs bends slightly to cushion off the fall. Hind legs come together again with front legs. With another push by hind legs, the horse is ready to conquer another obstacle.

One down. Ten to go.

All the works within less than 2 seconds, and with an extra dead weigh of 60 or 70 kg on its back.

Have you ever wonder, with all the hard works done by the beautiful animals, why does the medal of the Equestrian event go to the one with two legs, who does nothing but just sit there, looking pretty? Doesn’t anybody notice? The horse has a neck to hang the medal too?

Wondering Wednesday

Have you ever wondered:

Why TIME is the greatest healer of emotional wounds?

Did the wounds heal by TIME at all?

When the wounds on our skin heal, there’ll be no trace of the once bloodied opening. A wound in our hearts? Does it ever disappear, like a puff of smoke?

Being an unpleasant incident that happened in the timeline of our lives, can we make it disappear? By turning back the time?

If we can’t turn back the clock, what would happen to the wound?

Nothing?

Perhaps the wounds do get healed. Or patched up? Maybe not by TIME? Maybe by our tendency to FORGET? And maybe by our ability to LAUGH at ourselves?

So, why are we giving credits to TIME??

Wondering Wednesday

Have you ever wondered:

Why halfway through brushing your teeth in the morning, you turn to the mirror, and you realize, for a split second, you have no idea who the person looking back at you in the mirror is?

If we "are” who we are, why do we need to “boot up” our memory, from a total blankness of white, to recognize the person in the mirror??

Are we who we are, or just the person configured by “our memory”???

Maybe that’s how they started the Matrix movies????
