In "The Hundred Secret Senses" by Amy Tan, the narrator reflects on the nature of certain people who may not be seen as brave but rather as reckless and unpredictable. Their behavior can be maddening and unreliable, which creates a sense of chaos in life. This unpredictability, however, brings excitement and thrill, contrasting the otherwise monotonous routine of everyday existence.
These individuals, likened to rogue waves and shooting stars, infuse life with moments of surprise and adventure. While their actions may disrupt stability, they also enhance the richness of life experiences, making them memorable against the backdrop of an otherwise ordinary world.
