Musings of mine: Rambling Mind on This and That #14

Quote of the day: 

I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn’t know. -Mark Twain

The Repeaters

Repeaters are those naughty, not too kind types of people who prefer to make you suffer at every turn. You speak loud and clearly enough but they never seem to hear or understand you at first-or so they'll have you believe. They feign ignorance, pretending not to have heard you the first time -but deep down you know that they understood what you said. You know this because you do it to others too responding with remarks such as "sorry what was that?", when you heard what they said in the first place. But oh no you are not a repeater, not like the other naughty people out there.


Lazy Zebra Crossers

How many kinds of people are there in the world? There are just two kinds of people in the world: Those who virtually race across a zebra crossing, and those who literally crawl. Put side by side, a snail would beat them to the other side. But why do they do it, why would they walk majestically on a zebra (pedestrian) crossing, taking up all the time in the world you ask? Well because you know they no longer have any sense of time and space. You see over here, and I would imagine as with many other places -by law motorists must give way to pedestrians at zebra crossings. Once you step on those lines you are king, you own the road and you shall take your sweet time in walking to the other side. And if it's a dual road, even better. Heck you could even have a picnic on a zebra crossing -with the rest of the road users waiting with bated breath. And the worst part about lazy zebra crossers? They never even acknowledge the poor drivers.


Right Before Midnight

Right before the clock struck at midnight and as the winds howl outside, wrestling with trees and peeled off leaves, it sure is a good time for silent contemplation. Sitting there in a chair, soul inside a body, body under a roof, roof beneath the trees, skies above and the magical wonders beyond. At that point life's importance become magnified and all trivial things compressed and blown away with the wind.Why is the world the way it is? So many questions with little answers. But still one can't help but be thankful for shelter and warmth, for sustenance and well being, for opportunity and the responsibility elevated by the burden of living. And as the world slept, nature kept watch.


Don't Let The Reviews Fool You

Are you one of those people who read product reviews before buying an item? Me too. I do it all the time regardless of which online shop it is. One thing I've noticed though is that no matter how good of a review a product has, there will always be a trail of angry customers because you know, things can and will always go bad for them. As in burning, blistering, flaming bad.

If you are a sock lover, you've been warned.


Update: I have been made to understand that 'Zebra crossing' is a new term to most. If you haven't heard of it you are not alone, and no it's not a bunch of Zebras crossing the road. I believe the equivalent term and one which you are familiar with is 'Cross-walk'. 



Peace. Love. Light*
