用力看,就是盲

read an article from 读者 magazine which title was 用力看,就是盲。it talks about an online card trick which the writer tried playing.in this website,the writer played the game where there were 6 poker cards and the person is suppose to choose one and remember what is the card in his heart.then when the person press a button,one of the 6 cards will disappear n the new page displayed only 5 cards.n miraculously the card which the writer chose everytime disappears when he pressed the button.
when he read the answer on how the trick worked,he laughed at his own foolishness.tt's how he got his idea for the article.it appeared that the 6 cards which appeared on the 1st page is totally diff from the 5 cards which appeared on the 2nd page.however,due to the fact that the 11 poker cards were identical(in terms of numbers and shapes),the writer didn't realise it.it is also beacuse the writer didn't notice the cards other than the one he is supposed to remember.
this story tells us that when u concentrate on something too much,u will be blind to other things.in this fast-paced society,ppl r always busy with their own things n they become oblivious to others.they do not even bother about others n they often use the excuse that they r busy.actually i noe that they r truly busy,but r they really so busy that they cannot care about anything other than their own work?they do things only because there r some benefits they can get.they don't care about things that they cannot gain anything from.this is the attitude most ppl haf these days.i m really afraid that this world will become devoid of love one day.it is really frightening.its worse than independence day.
i read this article quite long ago so y m i saying this now?because today i got an experience of it.i was going to a cca meeting outside sch this afternoon.i was on a bus when my fren who was also going to the meeting boarded the bus too.i didn't call out to her because i wasn't really close to her.she sat quite near me n she could see me easily in our positions.i mean if she juz raise her head up she will see me.i wasn't really keen on letting her notice me cos as i said we were not close n it will be very uncomfortable if we travel to the meeting place together without toking to each other.so we alighted together at the same stop to go to the opposite side to change bus.i was behind her always and i avoided her intentionally(anyway it was really fun doing that.i felt like a PI).the bus came n again we boarded the bus together without her noticing me.i mean i still was behind her but she should haf seen me if she was looking at all because when we were waiting for the bus to stop we were so near to each other.so we arrived at the meeting place and finally at the traffic light she saw me.tt's because i had to alight the bus before she does and because of that,when i waited at the traffic light she was beside me.
ok,i feel "perverted" for trying to let her not notice me,n she feels so too(i told her about it later).but i m typing all these juz to say that this world is beautiful n it doesn't juz consist of u.it consists of so many other living things which is worth noticing.if u juz let yourself rest for some moments n appreciate the world n nature,u will feel that the world is such a great place.stop concentrating only on your own things.
