Out of the box

Some years ago,  i had a thought of how someone just dont get me. A wonder why it was difficult to see beyond the boundary of our ideas and look into other people minds. Today,  I learned my lesson.

It happened in very simple way yet it may sound so stupid.  I mean,  i looked at an answer to the quiz that said 'my heart is useful'. My mode of thinking is philosophical and transcendental as I thought on so many things.  Then, all of the sudden,  my friend blurted out a rhethoric question. She asked me "Isn't all heart is useful?!"

That rhethoric question indeed told me something about me. I could see directly into her clear and simple mind, instead of my complicated one.  She saw the bottom line and go for it at the same time I saw my insecurity and procastination.  And i saw her wisdom and saw my stupidity.

It is a wake up call to the way I see things as in one direction instead of having so many layers and facets in accordance to whoever has their ideas into it.  Some may have similarity, some may have so contradictive point of views,  and some may have opposite ideas. It isnt limited to two sides of coin which is either true or false alone.

As this short enlightment hit me,  i could only laugh with her and admit my stupidity. 

Those who do not laugh, do not learn... My favorit quote from Tao Te Ching.
