Yesterday, I was doubting if I would go to NBS or simply go home but when I went off the office, I had to look for a tricycle and suddenly ask if the driver could bring me to NBS. At first, I don't know what I'm gonna buy. So I had to look around and then saw Bob Ong's latest book entitled "Kapitan Sino". I wasn't suppose to buy it but just because I don't wanna go out that stall without buying anything so I bought it. When I got back home, I had to read not just a page but the entire book (It's just a hundred pages though.)
It was cool. It's a story of an ordinary guy who happened to be so ordinary because he had found out that he has super strength and chose to help the people in their town but later disappointed that he did not even save the person he love the most and not even have the guts to tell her that he loved her.
I was caught by the question: "Ano ang pagkakaiba ng bulag sa nakakakita?" (What's the difference of a blind from a the one that can see?" and the answer is "Ang bulag, nakikita ang mga bagay na hindi nakikita ng mga nakakakita. Ang nakakakita, hindi niya alam kung kailan siya magiging bulag." (The blind can see what other's can't. The one who can see doesn't know when to be blind.) I believe in this. At times, people who can see tends to believe so much into things that they their eyes are showing them even if it's all a lie. And most often than not, they tend to be blind when it should not be which turns them to be stupid. You see things that are beautiful in the eye but totally ugly when you dig deep. People seldom know which one is real and which one is fake.
The blind can see the beauty within, the one who sees can see the beauty without. So true.
