A year ago, i was on the train on the way to a conference. Though taking a train is a wise action or decision as one saves so much on fuel and parking fees, taking trains with services maintained scarcely is horrendous!
Waiting for trains, waiting through the meaningless delays, waiting for the train to come as the delay increased over silly announcements (the guy announcing tried to put on an acent but... it was so stupid and wannabe that i wanted to slap him [to the announcer: You Know Who You Are!!!]). The delays were actually caused by sloppy maintainence. And If KTM (Yes, I am revealing you!) holds a 'title' as the national train, I'd like to take that claim a joke and a childish act.
But after a painstaking delay of 25 mins (not including the whole time i waited), the train came and i was plungged into a compartment of people with all sorts of smells mixed as stench, and I tried to keep a strigth face despite my desire to wince. It was then i noticed something interesting, something meaningful, something Philosophical.
A young lady, possibly around 14 to 16, was wearing a shirt with the words "LOVE IS LIKE A BUTTERFLY". Curious and prompted at that amusing statement, i read on. on her shirt, it says:
'Love is like a butterfly. It escapes your grasp when you try to reach for it, But if you wait patiently for, it will come and perch itself upon you.'
How beautiful and truthful, It was a reflection of today's society.
Most youths and adults suffer most from emotional problems caused by relationships. It's mostly, they try hard to find love to replace a certain hollow in them due to certain reasons, and they wind up getting hurt becaused they were misguided.
If we were to practise patience and wait upon matters to ocsilliate, wouldn't things be so much better and wouldn't things be more stabe as they took the nessecary time to develope?
With faith, all is possible.
