Discovering The Bright Side .. A Trip Into The Other World ..
Then .. While it was running so fast .. I suddenly decided to disembark from that plane .. Saying .. Would I spend the rest of my life fastened between these illogical boundaries .. Undoubtedly i won't ..
I took the things i need the most .. That old book which i recieved from an older friend .. That necklace which meant to me so much .. that frame .. Then i threw it .. I retreated .. I remembered that the faces were imprinted on my mind .. I don't really need that frame .. Then .. I jumped .. discovering that i have nothing precious to join me during that self-flight ..
I wanted to reach the other side of this weird world .. On my way .. To earth .. I met new friends .. Birds .. They were singing aloud .. celebrating the sunset as they did during the sunshine .. I met a crying mum looking for her missing fledgling .. There .. I met another plane .. As another jumping man .. from the same window .. For a while I ignored the gravity's power and i said .. let me see .. whether he jumped to discover the other world just like me ..
I waited for him to reach the place where i was then i simply asked .. Are you here to join me ? .. He said .. Notice how loser am I.. i came to commit suicide .. i didn't know whether should I smile or cry .. I answered .. But .. Never lose hope .. There should be always a bright side .. You see these birds .. they're so glad for having the sun .. whereas the other mum is shedding tears for losing her son .. We have the same example on earth .. there's no place that is vacant of pain .. you have two choices .. whether you accept .. whether you go insane ..
He kept on gazing at me then he said .. So we're both insane .. i laughed then said .. i can't be insane .. am not here to suicide .. as i told you am here to look for the bright side .. on earth people want to reach the sky .. their only dream is to find a way to fly .. they're mistaken things .. here we are in the sky .. here I am seeing your tears dry .. as I am seeing myself trying to retry .. Here we both know that we'll both die .. Human beings never get enough .. We're always looking for more and more .. When we have a degree we seek for a job .. when we get it we run after a promotion .. when we get a promotion we dream of creating a family .. once we create a family we want also another promotion in order to afford children's needs .. when we comply with these things we feel bored .. we try to look for something new .. we fabricate problems then we solve them .. We build houses then we break them.. We find new labors then we dismiss .. We buy cars then we sell them .. We love things at the beginning then we just leave them .. But know that there's always .. always a bright side ..
Here I see you wondering .. where can i find the bright side within these words ? .. Undoubtedly it does exist somewhere between the lines .. At the beginning when i jumped from that plane .. I took a book and a necklace .. That's all .. Did I take the degrees i had ? Or a child of mine ? .. That precious car or that majestic house ? .. Of course not .. I took that book .. Which was Quran .. That necklace .. which represented my deeds during my existence down with them .. Life teaches us how to be consenting .. How to reach a certain conviction that nothing lasts forever .. except your deeds .. That friend smiled and said .. But .. what I am doing now is bad .. i don't want to suicide ..
I walked .. I mean .. I flew away .. Saying to myself .. The second mistake you can do is to regret .. Even mistakes .. Do have a bright side .. it's about taking lessons .. To never perpetrate it once again .. To never look backwards .. To the past .. Also .. To never worry about the future .. which we can't control .. Here i am standing on a happy wing even if it would not fly .. Saying to you and I .. Avoid worries .. Love what you have .. Do what makes you happy .. Reach your aims .. Gaze before you lose sight .. Fly before your weight's height .. .. Smile before you cry .. Live before you die .. .. Benefit from the earth before climbing above .. To the sky ..
By the end .. I admit that their goals were a contradiction .. The first man knew how wide the world is .. while it seemed for the second a tight board .. The first man was wise .. whereas the second was hypnotized .. Whatever .. both of them did die .. I see you wondering where is the bright side .. you're right .. there's no bright side in suicide ..
