Maple’s Special – 17
Well, I had a new experience in eating today!
Looks very pathetic is it?
Sitting on the super small tool, eating in a restricted and small place, and the environment is kind of unhygienic.
But I enjoyed it. Hehe.
Well, I have to admit that at first I really felt a bit uncomfortable. Although I am a bit untidy, I had never eaten like that before, just like a beggar style.
But the uncle’s warmth moved my mind. He’s so sincere, helping us to move the chairs, asking us if we’re feeling comfortable with it, and if we feel uncomfortable can change to another place to continue eating.
It is because his sincerity makes me feel that the place is not that bad. Although the condition of the place is not well-furnished, the uncle and his family have stayed there for decades. To them, the place is good enough for them to live on. Without any lavishness, they can still lead their life well. They feel contented with their current state, a shop house selling packet rice.
Looking at their contented expression, somehow I will ask myself, is this called the meaning of life? Simple, ordinary but contented?
Sometimes reading on self motivated books, it will reflect the same matter (leading simple life). The books will make me realize that after all the efforts, we all will still come back to lead a simple life. All the luxuries that we took pain in gaining will still fade away. That’s why it advices us not to be greedy or ask for too much.
But, it’s kind of big crash to me.
I can’t get a definite answer if I should also lead such a simple life, because I am still in the midst of youth age. At my age, it is not supposed to think of such simple life. My age supposes to be youthful, daringly pursue dreams. So such retiring mindset shouldn’t exist as it will only make me lose my motivation.
*Sigh* Maybe I should just do what I should do. Stop struggling on this no-answer-question.
Anyway, I still feel contented for eating like this. Smile.
