Sublime in our daily life

In class, we had discussed that sublime could describe when two opposite feeling appear at the same moment.

This picture was taken when I was on my way to the campus. Every day, I had to take the subway to commute to the campus. The most interesting thing about taking subway is I can meet tons of people every day on the subway. How they act, and how they express. To give up your seat to some with disable or elder or pregnant or kids normally appears on the subway. The other light spots are those freestyle artists; they are either sing or dance or play instruments or just do the combinations. but there are many thought behind those easy movements or actions.

There was one day, when the 7 train was stopped at the Queensboro Plaza station, one disable man boarded up. At the first, I thought he was same with those artists who just sing two or three sentences and then start to collect the donations. But just few seconds after, I knew I was wrong. This man came in, then started to sing. I didn’t know what’s the title of the song, but I just felt that it was songful. He sang the song completely; it was so beautiful.

I choose this because when I was at that moment, I felt pleasant for his beautiful and talented voice, in another way, I also felt sad about his missing of leg.
