Keys & Humanity
March 16^th 2016
Something Different, again

There are things that we connect with “power” of some sorts. Now, what do you think when you think the words elevator and rich? See, I imagine a penthouse, like in movies if you will, where you need a key or keycard to access certain areas. And I had never thought that I wanted to access a floor like that, until I got the chance that is.

            So there I was in the elevator, taking the trash out from a café – fancy right - , and they gave me a key and told me what to do. The feeling though, of seeing an ordinary row of buttons and a keyhole in an elevator, knowing I had the key! It made me feel so good, for a reason or another. It’s not like it was a penthouse or anything, it was the garage where I could sort the trash, but still!

            So it got me thinking, what other ordinary things do I associate with power and/or fancy living. And well, I haven’t come up with anything, yet, but I still find it peculiar. I mean a key and lock is quite a simple thing, and yet I found it to be this magnificent thing. So what does this tell about humanity, or maybe it’s just me…

Any ideas or comments? Do tell. My Tumblr
