i actually woke up to go to the gym!! *applause*

haha. achievement ok. proud of myself!! *beams* and i feel great too! ok, my arms are aching and i'm sure that they'll ache much more tomorrow, but as of now, i feel great. =)

but...

i passed this blind man at the busstop on the way home, there wasn't anyone at the busstop, and he was holding out a sign 961, and pointing it to buses as they pass by.

i've seen this man b4, and he works at tan chong as a telephone operator.

and i just walked past him, walking up the overhead and just ignored him.

now, who's the blind one?

sigh. it seems that even though we have eyes, we can't see, or rather, we are partially blind. selectively blind. we see things that we want to, when they concern us, and when it's convient for us. i'm sure that that blind man sees much more than i can... he can't see the outer appearance, so i guess he forms images in his mind... and this is a reflection of a person's true inner beauty.

so yes, as i walked up the overhead, i felt guilty and i turned back to help him. as i was walking down the stairs towards him, this other man walked past him and approached to help.

so there i was, shacked from gym, blessed with an abled body to even sweat it out in the gym, stood at the overhead bridge stunned for a while.

since when have i become so cold hearted? i mean i wasn't a girl scout rushing to help the old lady cross the road, but ...

i hope i can stop being so self centered, and actually see how blessed i am.
