My elevator epiphany

‘People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.’

most people living in modern civilized places get on elevators everyday. i was no different. but today, the elevator was different. after shortly waking up a 2nd time, i went out to meet my family for lunch. i got on the elevator and on the way down, i was hit by an epiphanic moment.

on the way down, the elevator stopped 3 times. the first time, the doors opened and nobody was there. the 2nd time, a cleaning lady appeared and asked ‘going up or down?’. the 3rd time, a beautiful young lady walked in. for some reason, i thought about life. people can come into and out of your life just as easy as the people you encounter in the elevator. sometimes when the doors open, life brings you nothing. just emptiness. sometimes life brings you somebody looking for direction, and you’re supposed to help them in some way. and sometimes life brings you someone that makes you wonder about the things you may be missing in your life…
