WISH to forget.

孟婆汤! this soup is so cool. it like.. makes you forget all the things that ever happened in your life so that you can cross the bridge and lead a fresh new life. no thoughts, no feelings, no predjudices, no likes/dislikes. a nice clean slate. cool, no? :D apparantly according to chinese legend, when you die, you go on this road. beside the road is a river and a bridge that leads across it. On that bridge, is an old woman, 孟婆, who sells 孟婆汤. it makes me wonder what 孟婆 is doing there.. why she has to sell this soup, why she is doing so.. it'd be so cool.. to be selling this sort of soup to any souls who have wandered down this path to the bridge. another thing that makes me curious about this soup is its ingredients. what could its ingredients be? is there a recipe for 孟婆汤?
haha this wasn't really anything.. just wondering what the 孟婆汤 might look like xD might it be just like any other soup like the first picture? or maybe, its invisible. like the emperor's new clothes. only certain people can see it. maybe people who are still alive can't see it? maybe all the bowls in the world are filled with it, causing people to be subjected to forgetfulness? another reason i put this picture here is because, instead of soup, clay can be used to make bowls better. how does the bowl that contains the 孟婆汤 look like? normal, humble and simple? or elaborate, elegant and engraved with all sorts of languages. heehee so interesting to try to make ^^
