This is a real story and reality for most of us. In a common place at an inappropriate hour, many of us stick to our priorities and continue on with our busy day. Although I tend to fall into the same category as most, I dont believe we appreciate the small things or those things that seem out of place. As the people walked by the lonely violinist, Joshua Bell, they missed exceptional talent that was actually worth millions. Even though this was a social experimenti, it shows that when things are taken out of context, we hardly recognize them. We continue to miss opportunities and take advantage of the things that can bring us joy. I was most impressed with the little boy who seemed most consumed by this great violinist. Although his mom dragged him away, he was certianly enjoying the music to the fullest. This child like manner is what we lose when we become adults. The child was not concerned with how much this performance cost or didn't cost, he just knew it was beautiful. I think we all need to be a little more child like in our on lives.
