Today, I shall discuss the depth of Human Nature. I asked myself, ' How deep/shallow am I?'. I couldn't give a definite answer. A politically correct answer would be, 'It depends on the situation'. That was my immediate answer. Until I took some time to truly think about it and found out the REAL depth of my human heart. The superficiality of humans was not the fault of our intelligence. In Mother Nature, it is apparent when a female species look out for mates with the best characteristics. Such as colours, strength, stamina and even size. Hence we can blame it on our beastial nature when one wants to look their best in everything they do. Yet the reasons for wearing the best is different in both situations. Humans, nevertheless, have varied demands and needs that have surfaced more often ever since our evolution. Therefore to supply our thirst for perfection, there's plastic surgery and additional materials like clothes and accessories. However, all these are just skin deep, does one even ask for perfect morals and inner beauty? How can perfect be used to measure inner beauty when it is all inside? Should one even be proud of being 'beautiful' inside when that is just skin deep? Such contraversy of the human mind. Ok crap aside, I worte all that because firstly, I went ice-skating. Secondly, I watched Marley & Me. Today, the rink is crowded with lots of 'geniuses' and lots of casual skaters. Geniuses are these little kids who can glide along the ice just as gracefully as a ghost can over land during the lunar seventh month period. Well they have 'PROGRAMMES' in which they do their FLYs and JUMPs and SWINGs and SPIRALs. Competition period being near, the stress can be felt being emitted by the coaches and the parents. Parents being so fake until they give applauses and praises to the other parties. Such smiles were so sharp they are able to SCULPT the ice. Marley & Me is such a heartfelt movie! At first I thought it will be some plain story that wouldn't even be able to touch my heart. Yet, the tears in the movie brought out some of my own. Bonds that lie deep inside the human heart is what truly makes one alive or even HUMAN. The eagle is one who looks deep into the water but only scratches the surface. Nature has lots to teach humans, such as looking deep inside a person and only hurting what's on the surface.
