Have you ever wondered...

Why rain makes the ground smell so good? Why you just have to continue talking to some people even at the wee hours of the morning with heavy eyelids and a parched throat? Why, at times, it's easier to just accept a lie rather than face the truth? Why toenails and hair keep growing and never give up, even though we cut them all our lives? About how you've waited for something all your life without even being aware of it--until it happens? Why the years go on and on no matter what happens? Why rules are so easy to break?

Ever wondered how fidelity could be possible? Why you can't just jump off a building and float gently to the ground? Why science often ruins the fun part of life? Why your left hand is longer than the right? Or vice versa? Why people keep insisting on believing in things without a shred of proof? At how faith works--or doesn't work--for you? Why your foot can't stop tapping to certain tunes? Why sometimes even the most earnest and passionate love leaves you unmoved and cold? Why grief fades in time though you think it never will? Why our deepest wishes are often the hardest to be realised? Why all of as are basically the same deep inside no matter which part of the world we're from?

Ever wondered why we wonder so much? Or why some of us have lost our sense of wonder?


Ever wondered why?

Why not?

Hmm., usually when i start wondering at things like that., I read that old Calculus book I have. It puts me to deep sleep before i finish ten lines.

Very effective you see.. :P

hey, c... beats me! i must be crazy too! :D

er... and how are your toenails faring, rini? all there? lol. This was one of those crazy posts where u think you're just typing out one sentence but it takes on life of its own and starts wandering. anyway what i meant was that we don't often give a thought to some things in life, we've lost our sense of wonder and other philosophical thoughts like that. Hehe. Bear with me!

Ooh, sounds good, rodent! May I borrow ur books? ;)

@jan: yeah yeah.. definitely.. I charge a meagre price though :P See., these books are out of print. And the new ones have something to it that they are not that sleep inducing.. :P
