Gold or Water?

It’s funny what love can make you do.

A phrase that is so cliché and at the same time, though many failed to admit, is true. Many of us chose to deny the fact that we always do funny things when we are in love, or when we think we are. Love is a concept that exists and lives in our head and soon takes control of our heart and eventually our system. The latter is what makes us do all those funny and undeniably crazy things at times.

Is it so hard for us, modernized-human-beings to see with our heart and to listen with our mind? And is it that easy to not notice those around us who actually have feelings, just like us? People. We are a bunch of repulsive people who only think of ourselves than to include others. But do you know what makes us the worst kind? Those who doesn’t know their own heart, and live by the idea and thought that we, actually know who we are.

In life, there are times where we stumble across a block of gold. And at that point of time, we really worry and became unconsciously concerned about the gold because to our mind, it’s an important thing. You see, we thought it works that way because we rarely see gold before our eyes every day. That’s what makes the gold important. It’s rare.

The fact is, there are bulks of other important things in our lives but we failed to notice because it has always been there. Stagnant.

Example : water. We do know that it’s important to us. But we take it for granted because water came into our lives in a humongous portion. Thus, we failed to appreciate water as much as we appreciate gold. Sometimes, we even think that water is not important at all until a point when we either lose it permanently, or when we suddenly found ourselves being allergic to water.

Now, now.

Po, you are water.
Important, (too important, in fact). But because you are always there, I constantly and frequently forget that you are.
