I know that when I talk to other Abers, I tend to use the term 'contrast' to refer to something bad going on, 'e.g. They were going through some contrast,' ie something bad was happening to them. But Abe really intend it to mean 'variety.'
Just like black is contrasting to White is not a bad thing (it's just a thing), life experiences can be contrasting without meaning 'bad,' or unwanted.
What I love about exploring the world is just seeing the variety and how different people run their things.
I had a very early start leaving HK flying to Singapore. I am still incredibly impressed with how things over here are. I got the budget airline Scoot- more JetBlue than Easyjet! Really comfy seats and some high tech filter not some draw down window ting!
I got the Metro to town and I just loved observing the subtleties in how the systems run- they have little lights showing the next station on the map (a bit like Barcelona) and they even tell you what side the doors are going to open on (see pic lol).
Singapore is incredibly sleek and modern, with the scented air reminiscent of Las Vegas hotels and the tall buildings and infinite malls a bit like NYC. There are a plethora of modest priced eateries wherever you turn- meaning you need never go hungry again (one of my biggest concerns when I'm travelling!).
Grocery shopping is pretty pricey, with a can of tuna costing about £4 (the contrast making me appreciate Sainsburys! Lol).
I went into town and saw the lovely sights and even had an in-chair massage.
So the delicious take-away message is to use the variety of life to sift and sort with what you like and don't like. It needn't be a big huge upheaval- it can be as simple as 'I like that, more please Universe. I don't like that, I'd prefer this other thing please Universe!' (Being mindful to give attention to what you do want and not what you don't want!).
So go forth and see what floats your boat (or cruise ship lol).
Anyhoo, I need to go to sleep! Volleyball early tomorrow, then my very first group in Asia- wish me luck!!!
Happy variety-ing!!!
Love you all!!! Nick Xxx
