After a long diffucult journey

After a long diffucult journey, he decided to take a break along side of this nearby river at midday. The nature was incredibly beautiful in front of him. The sound of river' s water flowing over there totally southed his soul. The mixture of colourful trees and flowers in harmony gave him a wonderful feast for his tired eyes..

Loneliness was sometimes a precious gift for human being he whispered. With the abashed expression on his face , he suddenly noticed that there was a table hanging from a small tree's branch. Of course, the table didn't make him astonished, but what it was written. It was " eating stones was forbidden in the cave ". It looked utterly ridiculous. How could a man eat a stone ? He firstly thought there was someone who want him to be fooled or make merely a silly joke. Howover, the curiosity of conquireing elusiveness provide the impetus to mystreous cave. In fact, he was just on the eve of putting an end of some questions digging his mind. A long distance travelling would suffice to focus on what he would do by leaving where he live.That’s why he was at the unknown place where he was trying to rest. He had to make a decision about his life and then maintain the determination in the rest of his life.

The lure of finding the reason of illogical caution led him to the cave. What he had to do was just that he followed the sing over tablets that show where the cave was. While passing each of tablets amidst trees, he thought of why he was so willing to know something strange , which was entirely implausible. Did it mean that he would spent his time learning almost nothing and making effort in vain? Rather than remaining uncertain and unknown , this absurd sentence hadn’t to be beyond his comprehension. Despite the fact he could be trapped , as for himself, It would be worth taking a risk and then satisfy the necessity of learning crazy words. Finally , he could reach the cave that he was be able to grasp why it was written .When he looked into cave , he couldn’t help getting goose pump all over his body. The fate played its role again and then secondly, something odd thing happened to him. In this isolated place and in enough big cave, his worried eyes were protruding from their cage at what he saw.



There was an old man who was wearing complately white dress in the center of this cave.With white beard and white dress as well, he lightened the dark cave like a candle. Young man was not able to believe what he see. How could this wise old man be in there and, moreover, his dress looked totally cleaned in the dusty isolated environtment.

All he saw had to be a dream or an illusion. He pinched himself to wake up in the implausible dream. By gathering all of his encouragement, he wanted to ask the meaning of the sentences written on the tablet.Suddenly , The old man, stayed without motion like a statue , started to look at him with his piercing eyes.

- " Hey , my son, will you ask me what the sentence is meaning over the tablet " old man asked.

Young man felt his shivering body. The old man had to read his mind so that this question was asked to him. The young man took a deep breath and subsequenly, he could say " yes ". He couldn't figure out why he felt excited too much and somewhat scared at the same time.

The old wise man continue to tell the reality of the absurd sentences.
" My son , there are two reasons why this sentences were written on the tablet.Firstly, It must be weird so that you will have to be attracted to come the cave. "

The old man was absolutely all right. As a magnet, he found himself to be pulled into this cave.

With his impressive voice, Old man continue to tell. " My son, secondly,
You have searched true love for a lot of years. It is not possible to find it in the possession, mortal one or insatiable desires. Even if we are not able to ignore them , they are not enought for soul. My son, you can't satisfy your hunger by eating stones."

Old man slowly standed up and added " It is time all words came to the end.It is no point speaking too much.Right now, go back to your home and think of what I say "

After a long diffucult journey, those who came into this mysterious cave found the reality of their existance at the end. Maybe, people can easly find a cave in their own heart where blossom the seed of hapiness. That something we see is too far away can be so close.
