Reflection #4

            One day, I was walking on my way towards work where I would be playing a very prominent role in the play I was recently working on. But then, suddenly, I fell into the trap of one of the Joker’s practical, not to mention, deadly jokes where we all got stuck in flypaper and slowly the gases that were infused within them would make me, and the others who were also caught in the mess, insane. But then, suddenly, Batman comes out of nowhere and manages to freeze the sticky tape making it easier for us to escape. While we were all running, I managed to see Batman and the Joker having their little fight and I was just amazed how quickly Batman reacted to everything that was going on and was able to subdue the Joker with some of his knock-out gas. This made me realize how much Batman has been underappreciated and how much we need him in our everyday lives.

            When I told friend how much I appreciated him, it took him a second to look at me with a strange face, as if to ask, why? These made me realize that we don’t normally tell people how much we appreciate them for all that they’ve done and so when they hear it, it takes them aback by what they just heard from us. I personally expected this sort of reaction, but I was glad that I said it because everybody needs to know that they are being appreciated and just that little compliment might help someone get through the rough day that they might have had.
