travesty of the mundane

There is very little respect for people who say that their life is mundane
Life is as fulfilling and interesting as a human consciousness wants to make it
for instance there is a tiny Chinese restaurant in my town
the family who operates the facility lives to what many would say a redundant life
each day opening and closing at the same time with little to no change in routine
but within this routine hides the cure to the mundane
many nights I will walk past their eating establishment
and observe a beautiful scene
A family sitting and eating a meal together
the only light cast through the doorway to the kitchen
a common meal ate on a modest table
material goods and exciting experiences they may not have
but what they do have is each other
this is what life is about
family, the voice of a friend, the ever so familiar laugh of a
companion that causes an infectious smile on your own face
the countless hours of entertainment a simple toy can provide a child
the way light dances on the morning grass
Life is beautiful
look with your heart, not with your mind
It is the simple things that makes the so called
mundane “every day life” anything but that
The true cynic will argue that this is a fatalistic way of looking at life
that experience is the only variety of life
This is merely a ploy of a person who has lost all ability to see true beauty
a person who has become callous and malevolent
from hurts caused by other malignant individuals
There is no such thing as a mundane life
only mundane people
everything tells a story, everything has meaning
Everything has beauty, look, find it.
