There are countless moments of us being swamped by problems that made us helpless but kept on pondering. Then we started to turn our head back and begin to doubt what we have done/decided. What we’ve decided previously is somehow connected to the existing problems because they are interdependent.

Since we love to mull all sort of problems over especially our past, have any one of us ever cogitated for once regarding where vision organ (our eyes) are located?

Whoa? Is Jade a little crazy today? Is she trying to fool us today? This question’s such a cinch; even a 3-year old can simply answer it right.

No, I am in fact not fooling around here. We all know our eyes are located at the front of our face. Now have you figured out the relation of our eyes with what I am going to say here?

Have you ever realized that due to the human anatomy, we can only view things in front of us using our pair of eyes? Well of course you could argue that we can still look at the things behind us using a tool to aid us i.e. a mirror. Even with a mirror, we can only look at the stuff behind us once in a while. If we keep on turning our head back or staring at the mirror for objects behind us, we will never be able to walk smoothly. Sometimes we might even trip ourselves because we didn’t watch our steps. And believe it or not, we might just miss out the breathtaking scene in front while turning our head back.

I guess the same idea applies in moving forward from our problems. What has done or what we’ve decided, is already past. Regardless of the outcome, we shouldn’t look back and think about those “what ifs” and regret. Of course we all can apprehend how easy we begin to doubt our decisions when things don’t turn out positive. But looking back is certainly not going to help to improve the situation better. We can however either to stick with our previous decision(s) or we can make a change. But certainly not looking back; this will only hold on to us more and more and we will not be able to progress from the situation.

It is just like the history subject. We study about the past. Aeroplanes, trains and subways can’t turn back instead they can only go forward. Eh, that would be dangerous too if they could. Yet, these vehicles can transport us to different destinations. That’s right. The idea is to make us understand and learn from the past but not asking us to remain in the past. If we think we can do something to improve the situation, we should of course do so. If we think the decision previously made is not likely to work anymore, then by all means make another decision to change the situation.

I just find the idea of the eyes located at the front pretty intriguing and decided to discuss about it today. The discussion here is also related with the Piggy Banks story entry yesterday. :P

I do however have some more stories to tell. But I think we shouldn’t think too much on our problems. We just have to do things that we are comfortable and happy about as long as they’re of good intention. Sleeping lesser and pondering more may in fact make the problem grows bigger. Getting restful sleep is important. Don’t believe me? Well ok, to tell you the truth, I’m feeling a bit feverish at work today and it’s likely that I’m coming down with a flu. My immune system is weakened due to sleep deprivation. I hope that’s already a good warning to you. Oh well, time to get my immune system recovered now.
