Expanding our Horizon

 Sunset offers a tranquil scenery which brings joy and serenity to some of us. It creates an interesting or intriguing chapter of a story or actually brings a closure to a story. How does anyone actually start writing a story of their own. I mean when we were in our secondary school writing stories seems to be part and parcel of our school days exercise, to write a more interesting story for others to read would require that we read as much and broad selection of books so that new ideas are able to conjure through the creativity of our minds. But as our technical works engulfs our daily life activities the story telling inside us seems to wither away and rendering us inert. Then how do we regain this part that has seem to be lost. Putting effort and time in organizing our literature activity should be part of our daily activity which needs to be spent as much as possible in order to gain the upper hand in this fight against the disappearing skills that was once part of our requirement graduating from secondary school and going into college. We used to spent a lot of time writing previously hence it becomes second nature and pulling a story out of thin air seems to come naturally in order to gain a better grade in school. Fictional story does supplement our story telling capabilities by bring us into the realm of the unknown and opening a new horizon that once was out of our reach at the edge of the universe. This actually gave us a new high powered telescope shedding lights to the edge of the horizon giving us access to the places that once was out of reach too dark to see. Enlightenment ensues ideas followed through connecting the neurons in our brain merging a story together for us to tell. Why is it that story telling is so difficult , maybe its because we do not have any story to tell, but this is something difficult or impossible to believe since our stories has run every minutes and every seconds. A story of our life runs 24 hours every day, they should be something that can be written during the days before its been engulf by the darkness of the night. A book entitled When breath becomes Air is a story of a doctor facing his mortality trying to race against the time that is not at his side. Churning as many things that is possible to be done in order to ensure that he can immortalizes the life that he has. As times slowly evaporates we normally appreciates time even more, paying attention to the minutes that has been lost and can never be recovered. How precious those time that has lapsed flying through our string of life teaching us to never take time for granted. The story entails of a doctor that work hard never paying attention to the life that he lose with his family and friends. How work has consumed others and making us lose sight of the beauty of the sunset that happens everyday.
