If life was a book......

My brother once asked me,

"if the world was a book, what chapter or page would we be on?"

I thought"......hmmmmm......" I was still tired from our lectures that day but, he really made me think... I thought about it for a while then i told him "If the world was a book, it would probably be the thickest book of all. Every place, event, and person would have their own chapter, that's why our lives would only be one chapter." Then he said...

"Okay, so if we're just one chapter, will we ever get the chance to experience chapter two?.."

Arrrgh...That one made me think too.... I said "probably not. The world is so big that we couldn't possibly 'experience' it all. I don't think we'll ever see any chapter other than ours. How could we possibly experience, what a person on the other end of the world is experiencing?"

Then he suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen the Niagara falls?" I said, "yes, but only a picture. Then with a big smile he replied, "Then you have experienced chapter two!" Now that really surprised me. He asked me more questions like, have I seen pictures of other places or sights, I answered yes to most of them so he told me, "See it's not so impossible to experience the other chapters. You have books, TV and now the internet, you now have access to a lot of pictures and information. You can already jump from one chapter to the other."

hahahaha... all i could say was.. "btaw noh?..translation (Yeah! your definitely right.).. well it's kinda hard to translate that phrase. It sounds and "feels" a bit different in our language.

My brother can be really annoying sometimes, but that night he really said great stuff... He taught me that, even though I'm just seating here in front of my computer, I am already seeing different places, experiencing what others are experiencing and talking to people from different places. The technology of today makes it all possible.

So, to the people of Chapter ten, HI!!... I'm emem from Chapter one. hehehehe 0_o c'yah!!
