vast.

You know when your going about your daily routines
like on a bus ride home or something
then you suddenly decide to look out the window
and you spot a random person
like a foreign construction worker, a pregnant woman or a domestic helper
or what have you..

and it triggers a series of thoughts of what kind of a situation they're in.
like when you see a bangladash worker sitting at the back of the lorry holding a blank expression..
what do you think he's thinkin of..
his family?
when will he be back home?
what the meaning of life is?
was his boss going to pay him fairly?

then your questions will weave its way into the persons background..
poor?
once-rich?
slept on the streets in his homeland?
was his mom thinking of him too?

then another random person passes the path of your gaze
catches your attention
and the whole thought process repeats itself.

Subsequently, leading you to wonder if theres another person half way round the world sound asleep or thinking of the exact same thing at this moment


I've had such thoughts several times over my course of life, and everytime i have them i wince at the fact that our world has such a homongous population.
thousands, millions, billions


I feel quite overwhlemed by it.
However ,there are still people that are living in thier own little world; according to their own childish rules. They don't see the vast-ness of the world.


haha well it was just something I thought of again.
I had to blog something...
