Blinking in front of me is an assortment of colours, running across my skin is the feel of breezes. Cracking across the room is my typing on the keyboard, wafting in the air is the smell of rain, and last but not least, pulsating on my tongue is the taste of sweetness.
Blessed are we with five earthly senses. And as all humans do and think alike, we take a lot of things for granted (in which case you know what I'm talking about?). The world around us is created through the blessings of these senses, so is ourselves. But has anyone ever stop and think; what will happen if we can link these five senses together? Will we be able to understand this world better? Or better still, see who we really are?
If only we can "feel" sight, we will no longer be as blind as we are. We'll be able to "feel" the warmth of kindness, the pain of lies, the burn of hypocrisy, and the touch of sincerity. No longer will people walk the streets masked in lies that our society now demands so much, averting our sight from the truth only because it hurts us, willing others to suffer cause we dread it ourselves. Cause then even with our eyes closed, lying will pierce and burn our heart, kindness will be embraced by everyone without the taunt of foolishness, and sincerity will reach across without taints of doubt. Only then, can reality be truly faced.
If only we can "taste" smells, then perhaps the people will be more responsible. As the "taste" of cigarettes burn red hot, and smokes so bitter they render you dumb. Odours that numbs our palate so much, we'll taste in fear of losing it forever. Only then, will the people understand the meaning of "fear', "disgrace", "nauseous", or even "shame" as the fact that something so foul touches their most reserved sense.
If only we can "see" feelings, then we'll be able to be more emphatising. The "colour" of sadness, happiness, rejection, love, insecurity, or even loneliness. We'll be able to realise it whenever we hurted someone, forsaken someone, or even brought joy to someone. We'll be able to know that our presence means comfort to someone else, or vice versa. No longer will we have to doubt others around us; "Am I welcomed?", "Does she love me?", "Is he sad?", "Is my company being rejected?". If so is the case, people will be able to care more about people around them, nor can we tell naked lies to hide our feelings.
If only voices have "shapes", we'll be able to "pile" them in accordance. Sweet melodies shall be stacked neatly, warm comforts stored nicely, painful truths arranged in sequence, and blatant lies discarded indiscriminately. No longer shall the people be influenced by others indecisively, neither can liars talk freely, nor rumours run amok. When so is the case, people will be held responsible for each and every word they say, and perhaps, less pain will spread around?
Having all these said, I wonder (perhaps you should as well), "what" surrounds me?
