“We walked early in our days and still walk in the modern days we walk to get in a store yet we stand still on the stairs or in the elevator to reach the top floor. we walk miles without noticing, in the office or when we shop for clothing. we walk miles to see something great. but never walk to come face to face with our faith. we walk for our own reasons and not for others. we walk if its near by but drive for the most of the time. we walk silently when we don't wanna be seen we walk hard if we are scared deep in the evening we find walking a real drag cause its healthy or is it cause we are getting spoiled by technology. if the car cant get there and neither my bike? should I go with my new segway to safe some energy and time. can we see we are becoming more lazy can we see what we could become like the movie wall-e fat and not moving. to be able to walk is a gift from your parents or just simply cause it makes us human.”
