i spent a good 2hrs in a very dark room yesterday feeling useless. it was a sunday evening, and i was watching how a mother was scolding her kid words like f***, s***, c***. i saw life on another part of the world, but it was so distant from my own i had trouble empathising. i couldnt grasp how it must be like to find out your mother was burnt to death by her pimp.
i was, however, enthralled by the guilelessness i saw in the children.
i also saw how the light go on and off in their eyes.
*snap*
just like that. i was also irked by red tape and by the injustice of it all.
the beauty of choice is marred by the overbearing presence of circumstance.
