The Tale of Four
I have thought of many things, lived with many people, seen many faults and mistakes but I only loved one. I have seen the world as a world not only for living but a world for emotions that inhibit the minds of people. I tell a tale of four young men: the shadow, the thinker, the spectator and the learner.
Four young men have sat down in a bench inside what they call a school. There they knew each other and instantly, they all became friends with each other. As the days went by, the four told each their life, their experiences and the person who they loved. The day was Friday when all the four met each other in a place no one could ever know that they were there. This place had no emotional, mental or spiritual barriers; this place could define free. One by one, the four shared what they have kept and said to no other for these secrets define who they really are but to all further amazement, the shadow was the one who shared the most and affected the most. The shadow had gone to a level a lot higher than the three a level that could secrete the commitment between you and your loved one. The three were amazed with his accomplishment but joy was not the only thing that the shadow shared because together with this joy, flowed in sorrow. His sorrow was truly unbearable to some; a series of mistakes that flowed at the same time. Among the three, the most affected was the thinker for he knew what I could feel for his meditation had led him to this topic one night. He knew that the shadow felt confusion, regret, fear and sadness. Not all that was said there stayed there for the place did not have walls only filters. These filters let pass what must pass and what must not let to pass. They went on with their own journeys all the same goal but different paths. The shadow took his path of recovery for he was the shadow who hid everything that happened between him and to the one he loved.
The four once again met each other yet the three have not taken their paths yet and after three or four Fridays passed, the thinker and the learner took a path that was similar but of different pace. The thinker is a young man who gave time for thinking daily, hourly and even by the minute yet he never had the chance to experience what he has thought. He thought for two long years not applying what he has analyzed just observing and thinking. He favored the presence of the stars at night for the stars told of many tales which made him learn to his fullest. He seemed to know what to do at times when he would be near the person he loved at any situation but what he hated the most in himself was that he did not have the strength to break through the shell of friends of his loved one. He seemed to be always at loss in the day and felt emotive during the night but not until he became friends with the learner. The learner is a man who always looks at people and learns from their mistakes or their positive feedbacks. The learner also had a person whom he loves but as time went by he missed a vital part in trying to be close with the girl whom he loves this part is assurance. The learner had the experience of breaking through the shell of friends of other people and the thinker had the knowledge of assurance to a situation where you have second thoughts about doing things. Together they helped each other filling up their weaknesses but the problem is that the thinker had a much faster pace than that of the learner for the thinker developed a way of dealing with shyness. Shyness slows sown the pace of development of your relationship and the learner had no choice but to take a much slower pace. They two had taken a path for loving and opening up their hearts to their loved ones
The spectator was the one who is reading this story, the person who gained knowledge of how different people from the same school express and show their perspective of love.
