Ever Wonder? Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Karl Fung, Hong Kong Jul 21, 2003
Culture   Short Stories

  

Ever wonder why red is called red when the sky isn’t called blue? Ever wonder why people weren’t black and white in the good old days when old TV programs suggested that so? Ever wonder why these childhood queries only give a laugh to adults when we only expect an answer? Is it because we asked a dumb question or they thought they needn’t to answer?

Ever remember what you wanted to be when your teacher first asked this question? Ever remember how you made your choice with your carefree mind and soul? Ever remember the day your choice had changed so that you can earn a life of relaxation? Is it because you find life not the paradise it were used to be and you cannot afford a dream?

Ever thought of the trees that dance and the wind that sings along? Ever thought of the days when a see-saw and a strong tree trunk is all that suits your needs? Ever thought of the day when you decided that computer games and television is what you really need? Is it because you have grown an obsession with intricate machines or you just couldn’t go simple?

Ever wonder why it’s unusually hot while you turn on that air-conditioner? Ever thought of why you didn’t bring your own shopping bag when you’re sure someone has told you to? Ever donated to an environmental group but later take a lift when you can just walk upstairs? Is it because you have forgotten or that you just don’t care?

Ever thought of why we have three meals a day when some in the world have none? Ever thought of why we can drive to walk without fear of your car getting bombed? Ever thought of that spare little change could save a child’s life? Is it because we never knew or that we are just blind?

Dear friend
Shavkatjon | May 13th, 2005
your article is like a boomerang that brings back once what u have sent... these are the eternal questions and doubts a Modern Human being can face and feel pain about.. I agree that with our rapid human and technological development we are getting much far away from what we are, our intrinsic human values, trust in instinct and intuition..How Sad but how nice that people like you are reminding us of our blessful childhood thatw e all deep in the heart dream about.. thank you and kep inspiring with ur work.. shavkat
