Page 15 - THE PATH

My home was about three kilometers away, but
thanks to my ability to orientate myself at a very young

age, I found my way home. My mother asked me where

my father was and I told her we had lost each other at the

stadium and I came home by myself. She was surprised
but happy to see me at home. After a while, my father

came back and he was also happy and amazed I had been

able to find my way home.
Everything was fine. I enjoyed helping and running

small errands, like going to the local store to buy things

for my mom when she had forgotten to do so herself. My
parents were pleased and happy. Life was beautiful.

People were smiling and optimistic.

I already said I encountered small injustices for the

first time when I went to school, but as I was growing up,
they became bigger and deeper.

Today, when I watch the news, I can’t understand

what is going on with the people. Why is the world so

violent and cruel, why are the people so disorganized and
disunited?

I have a feeling that large percent of the people all

over the world are discontent.
