An ’’eye-opener’’ maybe?

A few days ago I was wondering what is substantial in my life? Every day I struggle at the university going to my lectures, exams etc. and to be honest I think that not only for me but for many students such situations seem hopeless sometimes. Although that I am proud of my doings by so far, I always in some kind of way seem to be unsatisfied by what I have reached so far in life. I always seek for my deepest desire, namely to become a physician. Sometimes I even seek for problems when there really are none. So I wonder what should I do next? Do we always have to do something? Can’t we just let things fall towards the right direction?

And within such moments…I get on a bus, I find a place to sit and just by sitting there I get the answers to my thoughts. For instance a day like that was today, when I was returning home after my examination and I saw a young boy sitting at a wheelchair, being handicapped. His age was probably around 19 but he was probably thinking as a four-year old boy. A young woman, who was escorting him, was holding a purple glove puppet and each time he looked at it he smiled.

That moment gave me an ‘’eye-opener’’. Why can’t life seem that simple for us? Just by looking at something colorful. That person was around my age, things we have done through our lives, basal things for instance running, has been impossible for him. This might sound very funny, but we actually take things for granted and we barely value the small things in our weekday. That person could be as anybody else, not that he is different from us just that the thing that he has a perturbation in his chromosomes, DNA.

To sum up I just wanted to say that we should be careful for what we wish for, because nothing can be more important than our health.

So next time you get on a bus, just wonder...How many people sit around you, how many thoughts, and how many different stories?

Isn’t it funny, what a bus tour can do?
