Have You Ever Noticed?

Have you ever noticed that look on a persons face when she/he is trying to close their shoelaces in a perfect manner? It’s the very same look when concentrating in an exam… Have you ever noticed the silence that falls upon you after a lot of laughter? It’s a feeling that somehow you feel like something’s missing… We always say Oh my God I just had a terrible hair day! When we don’t know that the person beside you just had a hard day listening to her parents shout all day long… Have you ever noticed that nobody has time? And everybody is too busy for their own good? While a patient with an illness that cannot be cured always says, yes I still have time… Have you ever noticed that twelve years attending school you never say, thank God for these memories and when you grow up that’s all they become… memories and not friends that still keep in touch? Isn’t it funny that old people always whine about younger ones, while younger ones always complain about the old people and once either one of the old people or the young people go and leave or pass away they think about it … why didn’t we get along? If you are a teenager you would think lectures are such a drag, while you wouldn’t know that adults aren’t so fond of it either. They care. So why don’t you? And lastly life and love the two things that deserve the whole time of the world. Smile the world has a beautiful source of life, and love it makes like worth living. So why not enjoy them?
