Many details and trifles(琐事) in life appear to be neglected by us in a bustling urban life. Some people attribute it to the fickle(浮躁的) ambience over the whole city. Some think that our passion has been ironed out by invariably tedious(沉闷的) life. Also some people come to the sensation that they have already been numbed by the fast-paced life. Is it simple because of fickle ambience? Is it simply because of no passion? Or is it simple because of numbness? Maybe all these contribute a little to the present situation, or maybe none. Actually, in the modern city, what we lack more and more desperately is a heart of consciousness and gratefulness. There was once a time when I also deemed that we began to lose our direction and become numb without too much affection in this material-flooding world. We were not sure whether the reason why we locked tightly our heart was to eliminate loneliness or to protect ourselves. We did it unconsciously with less and less emotion and smile. So someone said that I was awfully icy to others. Not until one day when I was stricken by a sense of gratitude did I totally change myself. Yes, life needs gratefulness. Gratefulness is not only confined to love, but also to friendship, family bonds, mutual cherishing as well as constant missing each other. Gratefulness touches deeply the tenderness of my heart, rendering me ever-profound perception as well as ever-soft emotion. It is like the soft melody of "kiss the rain", so tender, so emotional and so fascinating, leaving me out of all the worldly troubles. |
