Wonder

Came across this piece today. It made me stop for a while and think.

"What would you say are the Seven Wonders of the world today? I admit
I am not sure what they are officially, but I would guess:

The Pyramids

The Great Wall of China

The twin towers in Kuala Lumpur

Mount Rushmore

The Panama Canal

The Taj Mahal

The Chunnel

I am sure there is plenty of room for adding certain great bridges
and churches and temples and towers, but here is how one schoolgirl
answered the question:

1. to see

2. to hear

3. to touch

4. to taste

5. to feel

6. to laugh

7. to love

It kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?"

May b, but all these things(the original seven wonders) are relfections of these emotions only, isnt it?

I think they are more a reflection of our admiration for all things material...
