The Fool

To the passerby he looked like any other person. However, this man was a buffon he asked questions without point and would smile all the time people would look at him and say 'ah yes here we have a fool’ they thought him foolish and stupid. What they did not realize though is that The Fool though he acted the way he did, he had a secret.

The Fool’s secret was simple he was not happy. He was miserable. He was so sad that depression was what he had been told he had by his doctor. Why you may ask did he have this unfortunate condition? The answer is simple he was so happy that the people around him began to make fun of him and also envy him to have such a seemingly simple life. The Fool did not actually have such a simple life. He was late on his rent and had four part-time jobs to cover his rent and college tuition. After all that he is still happy.

Why?

Is he stupid?

Does he know he's doomed to the point of know return?

No. The Fool is happy because he knows exactly what he has to do and is happy about it. That maybe wishful thinking on his part but it is what wakes him up every morning and let's him sleep at night and also knowing that even though he's being made fun of for his behavior one day very soon it'll turn around because there is one thing he has over everyone around him and that is time.

Patience is the greatest virtue that you could ever have because it can open a door you thought would never be open as well as heal wounds. But most of all it can teach you to be tolerant of others.
