Silence in deep night
Hot 3 |
On the way home, there is no one else alongside the road. That could be peaceful moment to calm down for the time being. After a long trip and back on the rugged path, everything seems to go smoothl. About one more mouth, it would be warmer and summer then really comes. How time flies. It recalls the mind of everyday that the way passed under the foot.
Yesterday could be the best precious memory and also the worst lame experience either. Today is the present gift everyone should truely own and cherish. Tomorrw is surely the wonderful prospective yet full of uncertainties. Micracles often bump into challenges, making together as the integrity to demonstrate the unbelievable cohesion-by winstessing the hardened callosities appeared on hands, definitely, every second spent on the rough time rewards back. The salt left on the cheek after having the sweat dry tells the hardship of a long journey.
Under the lamp, walking on the street, there is no one else who is familiar with. As if it is the isolated society even though people pass by, no more single smile and no more missing on the land. Could it be just a regular circumstance or casual situation as everyone assumes naturally? Actually it evolves, while the inner peace does not change anything, even mostly people feel more lonely than people who lived decades or centuries ago.
Whatever, it is the time to go forward. A book and a single trip would be enough to consume the loneliness on the way.

- Over here, the air is misty and humid. I bought my food for the weekend at the sleek and spacious international supermarket. Tomorrow, I would make myself a traditional English breakfast and lunch. It was late in the evening so I took a shortcut and walked through the park.The park was usually deserted in the evenings.I walked through the quiet path watching the plants and flowers made wet by the mist. The dim lamp was surrounded by mist yellowed by the light creating a lonely scene.
In the distance I saw a shadowy figure moving slightly. As I walked by, I saw a weak frail old man looking at me.I nodded and said hi to him and he responded with a slow nod.He appeared to be abandoned by his family, homeless and passing the night at the park.
I sat down beside him, offered him a chocolate bar and attempted to talk to him.I told him that I lived nearby and was passing through.Then I asked him why he was in the park in this hour and why he was not going home.He told me that he was living in a hut by the roadside and did not have any family members. His wife and children abandoned him when he had dementia. He had different types of jobs before including a cook, food stall owner, watchman and so on.Staying at home for him was lonely and he would rather be in the park watching the occasional passersby. He was simply waiting for an end to his life.
I told him that life does not have to be so hopeless and gave him some advice on the care services to which he has entitlement. I also gave him a radio which did not need batteries for him to listen and he was delighted.
While enjoying the comforts of my own home, I cannot help but think about the lonely old man in the park and wonder why the world can be so unfair to some people. How fortunate we are to have a family beside us and living in comfort.

Sometimes, when I see some of thos vagrants I do not feel much well. Not only because they have suffered, but also the world or the society does exist the unfairness. What if I was the one of them wandering on the park, street, and the pire of a high express way. Would I be mocked and looked down upon by pedestrians?
Age gives me the proof to test that I transfer myself into the phase of becoming reasonable. It could be called as growth. Yes, truly, it is. Everyone goes to realize something after experiencing something.

- True. One can never be truly secure and happy until he know how vulnerable life is.
