PEOPLE WATCHING

Added on October 18, 2019 by Jason Lam.

The joy of people watching

What is it?

Is it because we’re all stalkers and creepers and staring at people is just a favorite past time?

I don’t think so

I think maybe even the word people watching is not accurate enough

I think maybe it should be called

Witnessing life

Experiencing humanity

Watching in awe of this thing we call living

Maybe that’s a bit more accurate

Because I think that’s what we are doing when we are people watching

It’s not because we are bored

Or that we lust for entertainment

It’s because we like being surrounded by others who are like us

Living

Breathing

And witnessing how others have come to live this finite life

To watch in awe

At how others have figured out this never-ending puzzle

And to experience maybe through them

How we could do the same

People watching
