Small events + Free time = Harmless musings


There are days when I think there is no hope for humanity and then a friendly smile from a complete stranger gives me hope. On one hand I find a cunning woman trying to rob me on the bus (I am very vigilant so yea…I caught her before she committed the crime ;)) and then a very nice lady rescues me from the pain of standing, by saving me a seat.(Both on the same bus on the same day!). Why is it that some of us go out of our way to help, while others just dont care or yet others who want to cause trouble? Its crazy how the world works and crazier how we, the so called evolved species ‘the homosapiens’ function.

When I reached my destination,(home) I relate the days events to my mom. The funny part is, I told her about the failed attempt at theft but not about the helpful gesture. Now I wonder why? Why is it that the good sometimes goes unnoticed while the wrong is always given the spotlight? It might be because doing the right thing is taken for granted, everyone is suppose to walk on the moral path. Only when something is out of the ordinary or when something goes amiss do we pay attention. It is sad but that is what my logic tells me. Although I have been told ‘logic’ is not always the answer.

The human mind works in complex ways that apparently mere logic
and reasoning cannot solve. I have been told over and over again that I cant look for logic in everything, it just does not work that way. Yet day after day I am still looking for some logic or reason as to why certain events conspired the way they did. And yes sometimes I fail. Although on most occasions it does give me something close to an answer. I have faced situations when I look back and I wonder why I did what I did. Sometimes I have no answer, probably because there was no logic. I dont know if it is right or wrong, but it is the closest thing I have for answering issues in life. It is kind off my get away card, give logic to a situation and you have a case for yourself ;).
