One day, on a street whose carpet was a shadow, a child was sad and tears flowed from his eyes. I said then, to see what is with him, because the tears are pouring either from happiness or sadness. I get close and ask him:
What happen, child, what's going on ?! Why are you crying ?
The child looks up to me and says:
I feel lonely...
Originally I thought he was a poor orphan, so I was ashamed to ask him if something had happened to his parents, but suddenly I get surprised, I heard a girl's voice. Hey, brother, come home, our parents wait for you to eat all together.
The child stood up, looked at me, wiping her tears, and said,
I believe that every man, whether or not he has a family, is alone !
Leaving that place, those words remained in my mind until the night laid on Earth.
I get out on the terrace, sitting on a chair and looking alone at the moon. At that moment I realized that those words spoken by the boy were truthful. My tears were on my cheek and I began to say to myself:
Man truly lives in loneliness !
Loneliness comes from birth, for although we come in this world like a whole, here we are not, we are only half, therefore, being just half a man, the suffering covers the other side.
True is the word:
Loneliness will be in the sea of forgetfulness when you find the half that will fill you.
After a while, my tears are gone, and for loneliness can not find anymore a definition. You fill me and you've made me forget about suffering. You gave birth to a very beautiful feeling, namely, Happiness ! The child inside me, the one who cried his suffering every day, I saw him again on a street whose, this time, roof was light and the air was richly fragrant in the smell of roses. I asked him:
Who are you waiting for ?!
I do not finish my phrase well because I'm surprised once again by the cry of a girl. This time it was his girlfriend. Now, the boy just wipes his dust off his pants, and he says:
Now I'm complete!
