How many times have you come across incidents that were bizarre. An acquaintance considered my life bizarre as I had stayed in the same house for more than 40 years. On the other hand, I considered his life bizarre as he had shifted home on a yearly basis, not only within his country but also internationally (because of various job opportunities that came his way).
Pondering on life, I sometimes can’t fail to wonder why our lives are so very different from one another’s. What would happen if we were in the other person’s shoes? Would we have taken the same precautions and actions that he or she were taking and doing? Life indeed has many routes and each of us has taken our own course of action. Some bizarre, some not so.
For example, I recently heard of a lady who pays her live-in boyfriend RM30 per day to look after their baby. She works twelve hours a day while he stays home with the baby. Somehow, it would not sound so bizarre if it were the man who was earning and she was a stay-at-home mum, don’t you think? Or am I just biased and prone to stereotyping?
