City and Life


I live in a city. WE live in a big city. It's so big that, i could never not hear any sound at all. Well, i suppose none of us liked soundless situation. It's very lonely..very indeed.

But. In this very big city, have u never felt the alone-ness before? I do. Sometimes in the bed, sometimes, even when someone's talking to me. How i hope that i can hear what u are thinking in ur mind, wat u say might be truth, or just words to suit the situation. As time goes by, I cant deny that I've become one of these people too.

If I were able to hear people's thought... will it do any good to me? I think. or, I suppose I prefer living in lies. Hearing what is suppose to be heard, isnt it better? Yeah, life will be much much better that way.

Imagine sitting in the street, hearing what is everyone thinking about you or someone else. Haha, then I'll be a very busy-body guy. Actually, I'll be killing myself with all this thoughts, full of even love or hatred. I'll enjoy guessing what's in people's mind , how interesting could that be for there is no answers for your question. It's like life, living till the end, always trying to get the purpose u are alive but u'll hardly get it.

I guess, standing in a very big and busy city, just looking at people passing by. Their face, their expression, their movements, their voice bring so much different to the moment, when u don't know what they are thinking. As the light from the lamp post and the moon radiates on these people, u know u are still alive.

Hello Jacob,

I am a person from the future, 5 years ahead of this post. It's such an interesting thought you have here, so deep and meaningful. The ability to understand the thoughts of others. Only a kind person would have that wish and I heard it from you, 5 years ahead of this post. You have not changed much. An innocent part of you stays till the present, which is 5 years into the future now. Thanks for making me believe that there are still kind souls out there!
