He sipped a cup of tea and sighed: "Sometimes I feel bored, or because my life is too boring. Every day is like a pre-programmed robot: getting up for breakfast, going to work, eating lunch, going home, having dinner and watching movies, surfing the internet. This regular rhythm kills me.
The grandfather laughed heartily: "So, according to you, what's not boring? You have to check-in in one place every week, play adventurous games every month to be called lively?
He awkwardly said: "There must be something dramatic at least, right?".
He placed a cup of tea down, pointing to the three-legged cat lying sunbathing on the roof: "Look at the cat. Every day it goes anywhere and then comes back to lie in the right place, sunbathing or rolling around to sleep. In winter, when going out, he finds ways to curl up in the blanket, or near the fireplace to avoid the cold. Outwardly, does his life look boring, but he always gives us a feeling of comfort and happiness. Life is not boring because of events, life is boring because people living in it no longer have the ability to be surprised by small things.
The grandfather stopped for a moment and then continued: "I feel bland, because I am being an audience member for other people's lives online too much, forgetting that I have to be the main actor in my own unnamed things. Living happily is not difficult, just need to look at familiar things with a new eye or change a little differently from what we usually do. Like instead of going the shortest way to the company, tomorrow I try to turn into an alley that has never been visited, maybe I will discover something interesting".
He nodded: "Maybe when we stop being curious, the world will lose its color.
He looked deeply at him, saying slowly as if to make him absorb: "Don't wait until there are upheavals to see life as precious. Live like a child, just stop to see something strange, see something interesting, and ask curiously. A person who knows how to create joy from watching flowers bloom to trying to do something they have never done before, including cooking or making cakes, that person will never know what the definition of "silly" is.
At that moment, his wife reached out and shouted "What's so salty, you're so salty for girls to follow, but today you're too free, go buy me some spring rolls to fry, let's eat fresh in the afternoon.
