Dayo....

He saw her again, the same girl he’s seen in the bus every morning. He walked past her and went on to seat just on the adjacent row, 2 seats behind her. She had the same impeccable look than spoke tales of good skin care and she had a grey suit on. He heaved a sigh as he sat back in his seat with a sense of despair that he’d never have the chance to speak to her.

6.05 am. He put his phone back into his pocket and shifted a little in his seat in preparation to sleep. He had this fleeting image in his mind of a girl, his long lost love.  He had met Temi in his 2^nd year in the university and they had bonded like Fluorine and Potassium.

Yeah, fluorine and potassium, he thought. It was a standing joke between them. She was a chemistry major and they had met in class.

“Is this seat taken?” he asked, pointing at the seat beside her which had a bag on it.

“No”, she replied as she placed the bag on her legs.

He spent the next 30 minutes trying to decide if he should say hello or not. In fact, he thought, where’d I start from?

“I’d have said you look familiar but that’d be so clichéd.” He said to her. “But you do look familiar.” Now he was smiling.

She smiled. His heart jumped.

“Seriously, I know you are not in this department, you don’t even take any of our courses. What I mean is… ” he paused for effect “…who are you?”

“Don’t you think that’s kinda rude?” she responded. “You don’t just see someone and ask such questions.”

He awoke from his reverie, smiled and looked around the bus. It was almost full now. He shifted in his seat a bit as a fat woman walked past. He stretched to peep at his lady in the grey suit. She was looking into a pocket mirror and this time, he had a little view of her face through the mirror and their eyes met. She brought the mirror down and turned back to look at him.  This time, he got a full view of her face and he smiled at her.

She smiled back at him, or he thought she did. Without thinking, he signaled her to ask if the seat beside her was free and she nodded. Half-stunned, he walked over to her row. 

Bunch of Bickering Idiots

We live in a world of arguments. Nobody wants to agree with the other, even when what the other says is logically correct or when what we are saying doesn't even make sense.

Christians bickering amongst themselves, Catholics vs Protestants; Jehovah's Witnesses vs Catholics.

Religion against religion; Christians vs Muslims, Muslims vs Hindus, Buddhists vs Christians.

Monotheists vs Pantheists

Atheists vs Theists.

We humans are gradually becoming a bunch of bickering idiots. Everybody things they know it all. We really need to sit down and hear the other person out.

Yeah i know, it will never happen. It just hurts to see people arguing over the same things over and over again. Its even more painful when they kill each other over them. I just wish God would just say over a worldwide Loudspeaker:

"Yes, i exist. And NO the Buddhists aren't right and the Christians are. And the Protestants are right about this and that while the Catholics are right about this and that."

Funny enough, i have a feeling we'll still argue about whether it was God that spoke or it was some invention of the United States and their Vatican allies in that BIG conspiracy.

Then we'll have even more divisions. I guess its the Babylon effect. Remember the tower of Babel? But this time, i don't think its God that's scattered our tongues to stop us from reaching heaven but its the Devil who's scattered our understanding of who God is, so we can spend more time arguing than actually working towards Heaven.
