snapshots of reality..

I feel so lucky... Sitting here and trying to get some homework done.. Generally speaking, people had been accustomed to the notion that everyday is a reality for each and everyone of us. It's more of a cliche already, and yet people still consign to it. People believe that, even I do. But the way we perceive reality is relative. Some people are contented of looking at it on the surface, and some plunge deeper into the bottom. So where am I taking this?

Looking around the exhibit gave me new insights about reality. I 've always thought that this, my own everyday living, is the entire reality. I was being apathetic about the happenings outside my box. But the photos shook me out and made me become aware that just a few kilometers away, people are fighting tooth and nail for survival. The particular photo of a dead child covered with cloth and the other casualties made me become aware that innocent people are dying probably while I'm sleeping or while I'm hanging out with my peers, or while I'm sitting here right now. Normal children should be smiling, dressed in school uniforms, not in battle uniforms, crying as they are forced to battle. But this, I believe, is reality; a nation almost divided by the excessive thirst for dominance.
