1. For the past 3 days I had this training for a certain software which was from around 8:00 am to almost 7:00 pm. So, it has made to work really hard and I am more active and busy these days (You thought I am going to write I am tired)!! But I felt I have to write the following observation and story.:-)
2. I read this story about a while ago, seems interesting to share.
One morning, Mom and Dad, and little Jimmy aged two, are having breakfast in the Kitchen. After a while Mom gets up and goes over to the Kitchen sink, and Dad flies up and floats around under the ceiling while Jimmy sits watching. What do you think Jimmy says? Perhaps he points up at his father and says: “Daddy is flying!” Jimmy will certainly be astonished, but then he very often is. Dad does so many strange things that this business of a little flight over the breakfast table makes no difference to him. Every day dad shaves with a funny machine, sometimes the climbs onto the roof and turns the TV aerial or else he sticks his head under the hood of car and comes up black in the face.
Now it’s Mom’s turn. She hears what Jimmy says and turns around abruptly. How do you think she reacts to the sight of Dad floating nonchalantly over the kitchen table?
She drops the jam jar on the floor and screams with fright. She may even need medical attention once Dad has returned respectively to his chair. Why Jimmy’s Mom has reacted totally differently?
It all has to do with habit. Mom has learned that people cannot fly. Jimmy, on the other hand, has not. He still isn’t certain what we can do and what we can not do in this world. But what about the world itself? Can world do what it does? The world is floating in space.
Sadly it is not only the force of gravity that we get used to as we grow up. The world itself becomes a habit in no time at all. It seems that in process of growing up we lose the ability to wonder about the world.
