Do you see me?
"Quite so," he answered, lighting a cigarette, and throwing himself down into an armchair. "You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room."
"Frequently."
"How often?"
"Well, some hundreds of times."
"Then how many are there?"
"How many? I don't know."
"Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed..."
Recently after reading A.C. Doyle's "Scandal in Bohemia" I realized that I'm extremely unaware of what's going on around me. Living in The City that never sleeps is stimulating to all the senses, but can also leave you dull.
It's nice to have little reminders telling you to keep your eyes, and interestingly enough, your heart, open and aware.
So, world, keep your head up, your eyes open, and your heart ready. You don't want to miss something amazing.
