A story by جبران خليل جبرانSunnuntai 16.09.2007 14:12

I was strolling in the gardens of an insane asylum when I met a young man who was reading a philosophy book.

His behaviour and his evident good health made him stand out from the other inmates.

I sat down beside him and asked:

‘What are you doing here?’

He looked at me, surprised. But seeing that I was not one of the doctors, he replied:

‘It’s very simple. My father, a brilliant lawyer, wanted me to be like him. My uncle, who owns a large emporium, hoped I would follow his example. My mother wanted me to be the image of her beloved father. My sister always set her husband before me as an example of the successful man. My brother tried to train me up to be a fine athlete like himself.

And the same thing happened at school, with the piano teacher and the English teacher - they were all convinced and determined that they were the best possible example to follow. None of them looked at me as one should look at a man, but as if they were looking in a mirror.

So I decided to enter this asylum. At least here I can be myself.Â’

On top of the worldLauantai 15.09.2007 19:14

Last time we were supposed to be meeting by the fountain down the road. However, you never succeeded to arrive there.

That's why I want to meet you tonight on top of the world. As real as it seems, you're probably only in my dreams.

Be sure to keep the boxPerjantai 14.09.2007 01:27

"The old man had worked all his life. When he retired, he bought a farm for his son to manage and decided to spend the rest of his days sitting on the verandah of the big house.

His son worked for three years. Then he began to grow resentful.

‘My father doesn’t do a thing,’ he said to his friends. ‘He spends all his time staring out at the garden, while I slave away in order to feed him.’

One day, he resolved to put an end to this unfair situation. He built a large wooden box, went over to the verandah and said:

‘Pa, would you mind getting into this box?’

His father obeyed. His son placed the box in the back of his truck and drove to the edge of a precipice. Just as he was preparing to push the box over, he heard his father say:

‘Son, throw me over the edge if you must, but be sure to keep the box. You’re setting an example here, and your children will doubtless need the box for you.’"
