Pensive indeed!

By Sarah Mahmood

We human beings are excitingly wondrous creatures. We can go to lengths to acquire what may not be ours, severing all humanly bonds on the way, not caring about how our actions might or might not affect those around us.

And yet there’s this one moment, one instant, one feeling, one emotion, one word, one look, one relationship, one something that changes everything. It could be a simple statement, wary of emotions, but weighing heavily in our ears.  One glimpse, a weak one at that, could melt away all the hardness, all the stoniness in us.

It’s a weird feeling, coming to terms with this. There’s always something out there, waiting to change the majority of us. I just hope that all of us do get to find that (and that we don’t find today’s Pensive too hard to comprehend). Good luck (Pensiving)!
