Poverty Among Richness

Chapter 1

      It was a sunny day. The sun was shining and there were no clouds in the sky. It had been raining since yesterday and recently had stopped. It was breezing. Pleasant, warm breeze was blowing between trees and waving leaves. Trees and flowers were happy and grateful for this day. Thankful and grateful for being able to see this beauty and charm of nature. Everybody was walking and enjoying the day, but one man with ripped trousers, a ragged t-shirt, gray hair and long, tousled  mustache,  was sitting in his room and writing something.
    This man , forty-year old, thin, but with wide shoulders, gray hair, mustache and hopeless eyes was writing a letter to his friend. Was asking for little money as always. What could he do? He was poor and lonely. Had nobody to take care of him, therefore he always had debts. He was alone in this world. His mum had died 10 years ago. Dad had abandoned until his birth.So, he was for himself.
    Now he was begging his friend to lend him a little money. He did not need a lot. Only wanted to buy some food to satisfy his stomach. He had not even one penny in his dirty pockets.
    Stood up, wore his worned coat and an old hat. The sun was shining through the window. Put the letter in the coat, Got ready and went out. It was a warm day. Johan was walking and surveying people. Someone might have thought that he was looking into their soul. Was surveying their inner world and nature. Some  stranger girl was laughing happily, Some other girl was smiling merily. All of this made Johan mad and enraged. Not because he could not handle of other's happiness, just because he could not be happy. And how can a man like Johan, as poor and lonely as him, be happy and grateful for anything? He was only thankful for his mother to bring him up and share all happiness with him.
    Johan was walking and thinking about everything. There was not even a little thing he did not touch with his thoughts. Was thinking about everything. About the world, nature, past, future and many other things. 
    Remembered the day when his mum died. Johan was crying all day and  Could not accept that her mom was not anymore . It was the darkest moment of his life. He always mentions this day as “the death of old Johan” and “birth of New johan'', which was totally different from the old one.During lifetime Mom was his guardian angel and a person which was telling him what to do and always was at the right place, at the right time when Johan needed. He did not have any women which he loved as he loved his mom. Love of mom can’t be compared with any other love. Mom’s love is love of Christ; This is divinity and brightness.
    There were a lot of people. Everyone was enjoying that day. Some were buying food, others were walking, laughing, and kissing their children. They were happy. They did not know what poverty, suffering, madness was at that moment. They were all happy, when Johan was suffering from life.
- How rude can people be sometimes - he thought - Some people are enjoying life, while some are suffering from it.
He could not imagine how people could be so rude. So rude, that they were laughing while others were crying from poverty. They were full while the children were dying from hunger.
-  Sometimes people can not understand others' feelings and position before they do not feel all of it themselves.

-  They are rude, just rude and nothing more
