It surprises me how characters with small roles in movies/series can teach me something. Like Brad, a former football player who became very weak because of Aids. I have finished the koreanovela 'Love story in Harvard' in a span of two months- without skipping, that is. And Brad, who isn't really part of the main cast, touched me. He kept me thinking about what he said. 'Water, tastes like heaven.'

When he was asked what he wanted, he just replied, "Water. Tastes like heaven, after every game." I began to wonder, why would he compare water to heaven? I mean, I drink lots of water everyday, and still find myself wondering... Is this heaven? I expected more than this, I admitted.

I don't feel the magic Brad feels.

But as I started to think deeply, I found the meaning behind his words. We may find simple things, ordinary- we do not find its importance because we are too blinded by the glitz around us. Just after the glitz- the pain, and the trouble do we find that all we needed were the simplest things. Like the water.
