Inspired from the past

I remember this sec sch literature teacher who has very dramatic expressions and often, very unknowingly, created a universe of her own right before us. Her powers were exceptional and that incredible source of energy came out of her mouth in the form of words. Back then, i never knew that speakers were actually very powerful people. Impressionable speakers motivates and drives listeners to think in directions that they intendeded for. Some can bring tears to your eyes. Some can change your entire perception and outlook of life. Some can even make you believe that you are experiencing something physically. No matter how momentary that effect is, fact is such powers are undeniable.

Imagine how colourful we can paint this earth with descriptive words. Rid it of poisonous thoughts. Recycle the word "Naive" and give it a whole new meaning. Perhaps injecting "Naive" with a new lease of meaning so that it spreads over our lives. And that meaning wont be found in the dictionary cos there will be a variety of explanations; everything good and nice. So that we can all be "Naive" and we can go around chatting with our neighbours in the friendly neighbourhood about how flavourful and trippy it was during lunch. How colourful it was in the morning when the sunlight spilled through the tiny openings of the blinds. How splendid was the smell of morning dew evaporating from the surfaces of each leaf and grass blade.

And so, news will be about the latest flavours in the market. No cars. Perhaps bicycles so that we can still cycle down to ECP and watch the waves carving in and out of the bay, so that we can smell and continue to describe the fresh salty sea breeze, so that we can chance upon familiar faces and chat up about old times, so that we can all chase away our unhappy memories and set them sailing far far away.

There will only be songs that inspire good feelings and thoughts and there will be no island-wide radio stations. Everyone will know how to play their own music to inspire one another. There will no longer be any genres in music as everything starts diluting into one another like how different colours; no matter how dull or bright, mix together to form a rainbow of splendour.

Conversations will be engaging; no half-hearted engagements; no hidden thoughts just an exchange of experiences. Mainly gourmet experiences like how my sec sch teacher did on one of her unforgettable lessons.

"....As i sink my teeth into the mushrooms, the combined flavour of oil and butter burst in harmony..."

Sorry im not good at it. And it sounds rather wrong in fact. Sick. Poisoned minds. Sorry this is just rubbish and NAIVE!

Though "Naive" as claimed still it is rather true... I also wouldn't mind to have a day just cycling to the beach and enjoy the wonderful view nature provides... The sun, sand and the sea...
