It is said that when life becomes boring and walks at snail's pace; one should stop for a while and try to think that in what direction life is going, because to move, first we have to ask ourselves "Where?"
Well, right now it is that evening like any other day, the time when sun is almost across the sea and land is ready to be covered in the darkness. Avian, in groups, are returning to their sweet home, while nocturnal are getting ready for workout; coming out from the shadows to the shadows. Who knows, what they think about darkness, after all they are not the like minded to those who search for visible spectra of light waves. I don't have to think this much! I am an educated person and I know all the reasons or maybe almost, about all the things that I can see, but today I am feeling a bit tired. Maybe it is slump & lump that I am feeling now a days.
Today I've decided to be vacant so that I can think. I want to descry the reasons behind the lacking in life. No! I do not earn less, I have everything but might not sufficient. I have had some dreams, maybe quite impossible, during my childhood they weren't. As time goes on, one grows up and confronts the reality of world, then every task, every dream, every thinking & every act that provide satisfaction seem very unrealistic and impossible. One decides to go to moon but planning end up in a multi national company or somewhere else as an employer or employee.
They are lucky who live the dreams that they see with eyes wide open.
I am walking along the shore and suddenly I stumbled upon something. I can't see it clearly as it is dusk and almost the first part of night. A voice has came "Bless me! I am sorry sire! It is my property that I forgot here". I've recognized the man. It is the vendor who daily come to the beach and do his business. "It's fine, please take it away from here, it could hurt somebody." I say. "Sure sire! un-momento please, let me huddle it and bind together" He says. "You generally be bygone till now, why are you late today, is everything working out good for you" I asked in friendly manner? "Yes, everything is fine, thank you for asking, sir." He says; he is smiling and his accent is so fine that I can not say if he is in problem even a bit.
It is 3 day after the new moon, still, tides are noisy and high. I start to speak again to him "It is a normal day, the surrounding still seems very dark, isn't it? "Oh I don't know very well, sir." He speaks. From here on, a communication has established between us.
I : What do you mean?
Vendor : This is a relative vision of everyone, who sees what depends on the individual vision, you are a scholar, you understand it well enough, right?
I : I like to believe it, but I'd like to discuss, if you have time.
Vendor: Sure, my house is half mile away from here, we can walk to there together, if you will, sir.
I : I will.
We starts to walk slowly, I have many questions for him. Maybe, in prejudice of my higher education, I have a belief that I will outwit him during conversation. That is whether right or wrong, I don't know it yet.
Vendor : You see that if people are happy & confident, they feel up. Everything for them become lucid. For some this is a very dark night and for some it is a shiny night, full of star.
I : Yes, that is true, but talking logically, it is a bit dark and silent. You know 3 or 2 days ago it was new moon.
Vendor : What is absolute logic when everything is relative in the universe? It is all about how we see things.
He was firm on his point and that is the reason of pique that I am feeling, somewhere I know that he is proving me wrong effectively, but negativity still has an effect on me.
I : So you want to say that for you it is a starry night and very fine surrounding. You may not feel the originality then, my friend. (Smirking myself)
He : (He smiles at me) I know the truth, it is just absence of light and rhythmic sound that you call dark and silence. But the case which is more important is that what part of yours is prone to feel these things rather than opposite ones?
This time I've given up and started to listen to him.
He : You are lament, something inside you bugging you too much and you gave up so you lost the hope that there will be a morning after some hours.
He can read my face, clearly. I inhale a long breath.
I : You know what, you are right, I am off the track. You are right, I should be optimistic, but you are wrong about light, there is time till the sunlight reaches here. (I smiled at my joke)
He : (He laughed as well) You are still trying to win the conversation and that is laudable, but I am afraid that you lost the debate already.
I : How so?
He : This is just half of the earth where the rays are not present, half world is still shining and so are you.....
We are at his door, thanking each other, we both move to our directions.
It was a relief! I understand it all now that what is like to see glass, half full of water. I, immediately give up all the luridness in me and gather all the mental and physical power I have and I know exactly what to do next irrespective of the fact that now I am not worried about the results anymore.
My steps are now energetic and LOOK! Night is a bit beautiful now than before...
Have a shiny day & beautiful night everyone!
