When the green light turned on, she leisurely stepped into another car, still with that smile, as if carrying a hope to share for tomorrow.

The crop button

|

I have a friend who often tells world stories. He knows everything, as firmly as if he was himself at the scene. From the story of the newly opened coffee shop being profitable or losing money, the internal struggles of that company, to the marriage of an artist having problems. One day, while talking non-stop, someone at the table burst out laughing and pointed at his chest: "Hey, you buttoned your shirt wrongly!". Everyone looked down, indeed his shirt had been buttoned incorrectly from the first button. Everyone laughed loudly, making him blush. It's also strange, a person who can "see through" secrets kilometers away, doesn't recognize the wrong button right in front of his chest.

He was sitting on a technology car. The driver just started the engine and immediately plugged the phone into the support, opening Google Maps. A very confident blue line appeared on the screen. The Google woman kept raising her voice: "After two hundred meters, turn right". He suddenly thought, perhaps in this world only Google Maps always knows where to go. It doesn't hesitate, doesn't hesitate, doesn't stay up all night because of questions like "Am I going in the right direction?". If it turns wrong, it won't be angry or desperate. It just calmly says: "Looking for a new path". If people could also be like that, life would surely be less sad.
