Career

A mother had three children. Three sons. She wanted to motivate them. She said. “ I had a dream. In this dream I saw your future. The eldest from you will be famous. Worldwide. The youngest will be rich, very rich. And the middle will make a career” … and she look up to the sky.

All the children were happy. They knew on what to focus, what to do.

The eldest became famous. He was hansom and so he knew closely many women. He had some children from a couple of marriages and for sure some children he do not know. He accomplish the dream. He was famous enough and had the feeling that he did not waste his life.

The youngest started to make money. He used the time, made calculus and analysis to get money. He never missed money. One day he waked up and asked himself. Do I understood right the dream? What if I am wrong?
What if to be rich means to be rich in wisdom? In one second all his mental construction about his life was down.

He started to read, to put question, to ask people about wisdom. He approached the subject as he has done with the money. Scientific, step by step, rigorous. But with no result. He still had money but no wisdom.

He searched for years and instead of being wisdom, he noticed that he is more and more stupid. Questions never end, and the answers never came as he wished.

So, one day he get tired and said. “I give up. I failed.” In that moment he noticed in his mind a thought, a voice. “Why do you have the desire to be wisdom?” “Why do you have desire at all?”

The first who accomplish the dream was the middle one. He died with 14. He made a career up in the heaven. So believed the other two brothers.

They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you."

Relationships are how those are. People have expectations and/or aspirations. And they do their best. Sometimes with no success, other times with great joy. We are all humans. [read more]
