This world is not as it seems. Almost always it is much better than how it looks at the surface. I just realized that I have mostly written about society and how it constantly gets on my nerves. But I would not be doing justice in fact to myself, if I don’t acknowledge and appreciate all the goodness this world brings in.
And it’s not just about friends and family. It’s about all those strangers I have met in all these years, some of whose names I never asked or don’t remember now, but I do remember their faces, those moments and experiences.
As I write this, I remember a blind college girl Lily- a chatty and upbeat person, whom I met while walking into the apartment complex in Denver, how she had filled me with simplicity and positivity of life. Norman, a sales person in one of Pennsylvania’s Mazda showroom, a little over 70 year old person, who was a leading car racer of his time, had all old paper clippings from his younger days in racing gears and cars; he showed what following passion looks like, that satisfaction of having lived a life doing what he loved.
And many more faces and instances are flooding my mind right now. But in short, this world has surprised me a zillion times, with people who seem someone at the first glimpse, but then turn out to be a completely different person in an absolute pleasant way, and teach you something so deep that leaves them in your memory for many years to come.
This world is a beautiful place, and almost always is infinitely amazing than what it seems like at the surface, once you start knowing it.
