A man, of low standing, of low judgment, and of low standards, and of certainly no nobility. A riotous man! A revolutionary with no cause. A man whose hopes and dreams had been crushed early on and grew up knowing only that what he would do would go to waste in a matter of years after death. For he, thinking his life couldn't get any worse, any more hopeless, any more distraught, had lost his sense of standing. His spine crippled, his body ached as he slumped to the floor. Miraculous was it, how unlucky someone could be. Hopeless and crippled. He was thrown out of his own home, his own kingdom, and was left at the gates.
For he sat for days and days watching the sun singe away at his raw and sunburnt skin. He sat until a man from a neighboring kingdom, brought him into his company, as he sent a message. The messenger spoke to the cripple, "Why are you lonely, starving and sitting at the gates of the kingdom?" The cripple responded simply, "For society has cast me aside, as I am useless to them." The messenger raised a brow, "For is that society's defect or your own?" He asked, inquiring the cripple.
The cripple yelled at him, "For it is society! They have not given care to my broken and faulty body." The messenger again inquired the cripple, "Is it your body at fault? Or your mind?" Once more, the cripple scolded the messenger, "Dare you, mean to insinuate that it is my own culpability, for my disabled body?" The messenger pointed to the cripple, "For it is not your body that is crippled. It is your mind! Stand, I say to you. For no longer shall you be bound by the chains of your own ethos." The cripple sat, staring at him, "What do you hope to accomplish by yelling at me?" He asked. The messenger brought up the cripple in his arms, standing him up. "Your body has no defect, it is your mind that bears illness." He told him.
The cripple fell, but again the messenger helped him up, "For you, upon overcoming yourself, will achieve great things, this I promise you." At the sound of the words, the cripple was no more, but a young stunning man. Standing.
