This, by no means, is original. It was sent to me (yes, spam) in Hebrew, but I’m not even sure what the original language is. In any case, the photos ARE mine.
A group of students was asked to list what are, in their minds, the Seven Wonders of the World. Naturally, the results weren’t unanimous, but the following sites received the highest scores:
- The Pyramids of Egypt
- The Taj Mahal
- The Grand Canyon
- The Panama Canal
- The Empire State Building
- St. Peter’s Chapel
- The Great Wall of China
While the teacher collected everyone’s votes, she noticed that one students was still busy putting together her list. The teacher asked if assistance was necessary, and the student responded that she did. “I couldn’t make up my mind, she said, there are so many wonders”…
“If so”, said the teacher, “please tell us what you came up with, perhaps we can all help you”.
The girl hesitated for a short while, and then read what she wrote. “I think that the Seven Wonders of the World are:
- To see
- To hear
- To touch
- To taste
- To feel
- To laugh
- To love
Silence overtook the classroom, so much so, that it was almost possible to hear the heartbeats of the students and the teacher.
The things we ignore, the ones we take for granted, the ones that seem so simple and mundane, are indeed wondrous.
This is a short reminder to the fact that the most precious things in life, one can’t build or buy.
