of memories

I bumped into a neighbour this morning. He is over 70 years of age. For no apparent reason, he starting talking to me about the Japanese Occupation. Could be because of the Hiroshima documentary that was shown over the tele yesterday. (Even my Granduncle also wanted to watch it.)

I could feel his anger when talking to him. All the vulgarities came out of his mouth like a machine gun. I guess, after 60 over years, all those bad memories will stick with him for a long time. And there could be many others, who have gone through the rough times, who felt the same way too.
