What do you see? 你看到了什么?

What do you see? A cleaning gauze or something else? Hi friends and fellow Dao-kin, it's been a while since I last posted. Sorry about this, I was pretty caught up with life. While making a trip to my kitchen sink to wash a cup, I chanced upon this curious worn-out cleaning gauze I left last night. I was quick to snap this up with my trusty phone. So.... what do you see? A gauze or a mouse? Side thought: In our transient life, we may have missed out the simplest of beauty. This reminds me of the saying "have eyes that do not see, have ears that do not listen". Very often, we tend to see and hear according to our own pre-conceived notion of what happens around us. We may lack the sensitivity to see and hear from a different angle. This is very true if we consider a scenario of sending a 'good-intentioned' email and getting a ill reaction from the receipient. Thus we should not jump to conclusion as to what the other person's real intentions are. We should probe further before arriving to a conclusion. See deeper, not just skin-deep... look beyond the 'less-than-perfect' surface and discover the inner beauty.
