The Sigh

There were this chinese threesome sitting at a corner of red rooster of Perth International Terminal. One man, two ladies, late fifties or early sixties. Lady A was gesticulating, obviously agitated, quite upset. Man and Lady B listen solemnly. Then lady B starts to speaks but ends after a few words with a deep sigh.

The sigh is so common. Me think that this sigh if left unchecked becomes so ingrained and habitual that very soon we become the sigh. Perhaps it be better to check ourself before that happens. There seems so much anger and refusal to budge from our hardened position that everything else we see about us is clouded and blocked out by this sigh.

The sigh often may not be one of resignation but despise and resentment, don’t you think?
