The reaction is marvelous

Isn't it

By Esala GunathilakePublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

The reaction is marvelous,

Isn’t it,

Haven’t you had that weird feeling,

Before this,

At times, even you don’t know,

Why you reacted,

Sometimes, it is the reminder that you are alive,

"Magical", "Astonishing", "Unthinkable",

It is subtle and hard to understand,

If you were blamed you would be unsatisfied,

If you were praised you would be enraptured,

Your hands were up,

When the ball is on the goal by Lionel Messi,

Where were those hands?,

When your unknown neighbor was playing,

In the TV,

Oh, Reaction! You are not naughty!,

You had a risen mind when you saw the prettiest girl in your university on the first day,

But of course, you would have a hidden mind when you have seen her bald in the next day,

Here I remind you,

Both happened to the same guy, to the same heart,

But how unparalleled the reactions were?,

Consciousness was parted,

Because the point of contact you grasped them were different,

Always you reacted to suppress the effect,

If the action was terrible,

And you reacted to boost the effect,

If the action was comfortable,

The brain was striving to make a reaction,

The reaction leads to a creation or an annihilation,

Or maybe an imagination or frustration,

Extraordinarily, they may lead to another reaction,

So, I need to make it obvious that,

The reaction is marvelous,

Isn’t it.
