descent to hell

i looked at the cover of a book today
i saw a face - not smiley, just a face
to most otheres, they saw it as a switch
it actually is a switch
i suppose life pretty much works the same way
the same life may be interpreted differently by different people
the same words, same picture
are not the same to everyone
there's always the flip side of the coin to think about
which goes to my point - technology may have improved our standard of living
but it may not have improved our quality of lives
an excellent example would be sms-ing
sometimes you come to realise the same words
can be taken completely differently
the essence of conversation not only lies in the words said
but also the tone and attitude right?
and even in a phone conversation
the body language similarly cannot be expressed
i suppose face to face conversations are the best

the wise younger sister of my says that
the only reason a favourite song is a favourite song
is because you can relate to the lyrics
i suppose its rather true.
not completely and 100% foolproof
but it seems to hold for most of the time

We sat and watched the sun go down
Picked a star before we lost the moon
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know its come and gone too soon
