Notice and the Noticable...an Epic proportion reality show


Plenty of times we walk pass a fallen leaf, flower, cat, bird or anything but we always gave them a missed. Subconciously, we didn't quite bother to notice the things or people around us until they are in our face/path. Even then, we can casually avoid them or walk over them.


Dont you think that these things or people are individuals who are waiting to be noticed by us. We can casuallly say that we are focused in what we are doing or couldn't be bothered with the surroundings because ourselves are more important. Or what we face in our lives are more destressing or even life threatening. And of course no one else's problems are as great as what we are going through.


Well, think again.


Probably also we can somewhat blame the society which we live in that makes us who we are.. Busy INDIVIDUALS that has no time or effort to even notice what is going on around us or who is around us that probably facing more dire need of assistance.


Plain simple english = selfish or ignorant. A cliche : Ignorance is Bliss. But Ignoring is intentional. Why do some thinkers say take time to smell the roses? We need to stop think/ponder or enjoy our surrounding as ....Guess What we dont live alone in this Island called Singapore or this planet called Earth.


We share with others like us or unlike us. This is not about trying to preach on how we should help the needy or less fortunate. That I leave up to the many different NGOs. What we are syaing here is that have you ever notice that cat that you pass by every single morning is hurt today or the old lady that sits under your void deck every day is semi blind or your friend/colleague today had face with a sickness or lost of a love one.


We only will notice these people or things when we slow down our pace life. Of course noticing is not the end. Some of you might say so I notice all this thinks..so what.


The so What is actually what can we do about it. It can be that we can help. It could be that there's a lesson waiting to be learn. It could also be an idea begging to be recieved by you the beholder of the brain.


At times, we we start noticing things it could incidentally add a skill called meticulous/having an eye for detail for the next job or task or project in your career/life.


Who knows...


Some times all we need to do is put a little prayer in our heart for the individual/animal that is facing a situation or wishing good things to be bless upon them... You probably not know this but the higher power may jus return the favour to you or your life by multiple folds.


Well, lets put it this way ... Do learn to notice your surrounding environment or people... It will bring you more good then harm...


A disclaimer...Jus dont be a KPO or busybody in prying too much into others lifes then its ok


What goes around comes around
