I had a chance to go down to the states for a buddy's MBA graduation, it was a great chance to get away...
During the prolonged ceremony and between speeches, I found myself wondering outside of the theatre. In the hall way, there were two kids running around at full speed, chasing each other. An attendent went over and asked them to walk instead of running. Of course, her request was promptly ignored.
But...
When did you learn to walk instead of running?
When did you learn to cry instead of laughing?
When did you learn to lie instead of telling the truth?
When did you learn to walk away instead of fighting?
When did you learn to let go instead of holding on?
When did you start clapping instead of jumping for joy?
When did you start talking instead of listening?
When did you start to be dissatisfied instead of being contented?
When did you learn to hate instead of to love?
When did you start to walk instead of running?

i guess... when we realize that the world just isn't isn't as perfect as we thought....
oh damnit, grammatic errors... will fix it
前陣子在觀察了我姪女與姪子之後,
反而得到一個"人性本惡"的結論。
小孩們雖然可以 running, jumping, doing anything "care-free", 但這也是因為小孩都是自我中心的 (mine, mine, mine)。
Kids only care about what they wants and what makes them happy....
開始用走的因為不想撞到或吵到旁人,如果真的要快大可找其他更好的方法,比如開車。
有時人們改變,以達成一個自己與別人都能舒服過活的狀態。
