The ALGORHYTHM
VIII.
“Who am I, and what’s my place in the story?! I am one from the crowd, walking along the corridors of this worldwide prison and asylum. I am from the crowd but do not belong; like a shadow, I sneak through, like a silent witness of times. This is not a story about me, although I do have a place in it, as a character. While I am the story-teller, being a student of life and child of it, I move along the chapters, sinking in each page and beholding each letter under the sharp edge of a pen. That’s all you have to know, about the one of the crowd which carry a lamp under its dark robe, walking on narrow paths and twists of fate encountering to each step, for trials arise everywhere, in its sight…
I have grown in a world full of everything that’s need for each newborn soul, to live. But the people, have turned their hearts away, in most cases, and all around me gradually turning into a fight for survival. Either be there the bravest or the fittest, the richest or the stronger, the villain or the victim, the smarter or the dumber, the crazy or the sane, there are choices, to be made, so as paths, to follow. While I have grown learning new things without to beset a balance of what’s good or bad, even without to bother over what’s right or fair and what’s not adequate, or risky, world went on its own course of events, like a large river flowing to the sea. Likewise, for the many others, more relevant or not, in such equation, the world reach a peak into technology development and of course, all implications from other fields, being called, simple: modern times. All around, as much as sophisticated as could get – up to a point, of course, - everything, a rush in delivering complexity, new goals to reach and new dreams to pursue. But came the day to ask myself, one day: what’s all these for?! What is the use of all and everything, - are these really helpful to my understanding, - are these really necessary, for my well-being?! And I started questioning all these, for always something appeared to be missing, like resembling a whole but as closer one gets to it, pieces are just appearing to be there, when actually, there is nothing there at all; was like there could be found a lack of something, in such enclosure about to be called everything. So I grew up, to realize that all and everything, it’s just a surface, - in the 1st instance, watch but do not touch, as for the 2nd, touch but do not keep. A surface which upon touching, it dissimilates around, like a floating layer, spreading around and off the finger who dared searching. Then, another surface, and all becoming stranger and stranger, as deeper as it could become, such observation, layer after layer, until was no need to touch, anymore, for there watching was not necessary… Then, all of sudden, the blind world, strikes you: wake up! You have to pay, to be alive!...
And then, I finally knew: “whole” world is blinded from the truth, awaken to illusion. World I grew up, dreaming, it is a world of lies and deceit…”
