Ch. 6: The Far View

I was looking out of the car window on a ride to a certain place. I saw a lot of places that are worth taking pictures of. They all seem so beautiful. At least, from afar, they are beautiful. When the vehicle got a little closer, they’re not so beautiful anymore. They’re dirty, old and They are not just not a lovely sight when we got closer. The setting sun gave a good effect on the rundown looking establishment but it’s just different when we got closer. It’s quite strange. It looked beautiful but when you really look at it, it’s not. But you know what the thing is? Even when the vehicle got closer, I can only see the far view. I don’t know what goes on inside that establishment. People live there. What do I know about the people inside that place? I know nothing. But even if I get closer and observe their lives, will I be able to see the closer picture or will I still be far? If I live the life they live will I get the clearer picture? That’s the thing. That’s what I wish to know. I wish to know more about it although I wouldn’t be able to right now. Someday, perhaps, I would be able to see the clearer picture but for now, I just have to assume that there is something more to that hideous looking establishment that will be mistaken for a rundown building if you don’t look closer.
