Extras
extras are usually part time actors hired to work in the background of a movie.
you know how some people are aknowledge as 'Tiang Lampu' when they hang around a couple trying to spend quality time together? well, those are real life Extras.
Life...can be viewed in two opposite perspectives.
you can either see yourself as the main character in your life story ( and everyone else are extras) or you can see yourself as an extra in the other people's lives.
i see myself as an extra. a pretty darn good one. (just like how it is in the movies)
an extra... could be a pedestrian, an ordinary guy who happened to be in the lift, coffee shop, library, bus stop, beach, university campus, party or on the road...
if i had more to do, i might even play the role of being the dude on the plane holding up a newspaper or the guy in a bar drinking alone.
hack, i'll even be willing to play the role of a war victim in an epic film.
but at the end of the day, who gives a shit? who gives a shit about the wedding singer on their wedding? who cares about the nurses who were there to help out their loved ones? who remembers those but the war heroes that too risked their lives and served their country?
they are nothing more than just Extras.
there's an extent to the level of significance one life may have. cherish the lives that you have impacted or have impacted yours. coz that's all that matters.
