Few days back, while buying some stationery items including glue, I wanted to buy fevicol, but the shop owner didn't have fevicol. I tried to recall if I had the fevicol already at my residence, I couldn't recall. So, I decided to buy a local glue which he had.
Later when I came to my residence, I decided to check whether I had the fevicol. I checked my bag, and the small kit bag holding my toothbrush and daily usable items. To my surprise, a fevicol was there in the kit! Though, I would open the kit daily, take toothbrush and keep it back after use daily, I couldn't notice, I had the fevicol right there!
Why I couldn't notice the fevicol despite being its tube's very prominent white color. I was amazed at the way our sensory organ perceives things. While opening the kit daily, I was interested in only toothbrush, so, I didn't look/ care about the other items present right there! Our life's situation is similar: we perceive things which we want to! There may be a variety of options ahead of us. But we overlook many options, because we think about the desired result first and then choose the option. Why can't we see all options available ahead of us? Why don't we dare to think from the traditional path? Perhaps the answers lie within us!
