A story about someone or something searching for meaning.

Source

            One day, I found myself entrapped in the middle of a busy street searching for meaning.  I was all but barely footed unmindful of the heat and the people who kept passing by.  Then my senses overhauled me when I noticed someone giving me a hasty look.  But he left.

            Minutes later, I was pushed down to walk for almost an hour.  I walked everywhere – on the sidewalk, around the park, under the bridge, until I restlessly came toward an old and crowded marketing place in front of a pleasurably-designed jewelry store.  An authoritative-looking man went out impulsively which had suddenly given me a fright, thinking that he was going to send me away.  To my surprise, he only gazed at me for one quick moment as if I were a piece of diamond.  But when he seemed to have recognized me, he walked away, leaving me more miserable and worthless.

            Burned hours had passed.  It was already mid-afternoon.  I tried to look around but people seemed to be uncaring and heedless of my existence.  My nerves came alive when I heard a couple of gracious voices followed by a peal of laughter.  Before I turned around to face them, the brown-haired lass grasped me in alarm and took me with them as they continued with their discourse.  While they were waiting for a ride, I snatched an opportunity to run away, far away.

            To my dismay, as I was beginning to revive my composure, I accidentally got plunged into a mud, making me more unattractive.

    Remarkable! I admire the ones in life that take the time to know someone that is all alone. Isn\’t that your purpose? To give meaning to others lives?

    What a journy ! Many meanings and lessons in life. One person’s trash is anothere’s treasure. This goes for feelings as well. We all live under the same sky, but we don’t see the same light!!! I like it! E
