If Life is like a DVD player

Why do we forgive but don’t forget? Why can’t memories be like a movie played in a DVD player? I’d like a remote control with that please. Some chips would be great to go with the menu. Subtitle all the languages I do not understand. Replay events that I don’t get. Rewind words that I do not comprehend. Pause moments I’d like to remember. Fast forward tasks I do not enjoy doing.

Unfortunately, there is no erase option in DVD movies. So maybe memories will be better if it is like a word document. Spell-check my words, please. Thesaurus jargons, please. Save good pieces, please. Erase nasty talks, please and while we’re at that, can I undo what I’ve just said?

Then again, I’d rather talk about Mc Donald’s because it has happy meals and I can choose my own menu whether it’s a set menu or a la carte. But too much junk food isn’t good for your body and waistline. So maybe I’d rather it be like Japanese food.

Fusion or authentic Japanese sushi? Some are delicacies that are rare to find while others are like rice rolled in soggy seaweed. However, raw fish can get you sick if it has not been kept at an appropriate temperature. I’d rather say no to diarrhea.

Should it be like chocolate cake? Sweet, bitter, fattening and can either be a healthy or cursed indulgence. Hmm…who cares, just roll your sleeves and dig in. It’s what life is all about. You can’t really control or choose fate so I might as well embrace all the calories and fat contained in that piece of devilish chocolate mud cake and get hyper, due to sugar overdose, in the process.

On a second thought, let’s pause this for a while because I am hungry and everything seems to be related to food. But I am a hungry mammal after all. Hot blooded, warm hearted and have cold feet and hands at the same time. I can’t believe how complex being a human can be. I’d rather have a simple life but I don’t want to be Paris Hilton (although, I wouldn’t mind her bags and shoes).
