David is a good man




David is a good man

He pays his takes one day before the due date,

Never surpasses the red traffic light,

Always gives candy to little children he sees crying.

He is punctual at his job and all his colleagues know him for completing his tasks efficiently.

 

When he goes to pay the taxes, he makes sure to put the accountant at the bank to sleep with his knife before he gently withdraws a fair sum of money from the ATM and then puts a pile of cash on the front desk.

He does pay though, just withdraws more than he gives.

 

He always waits when the red-light blinks above;

He gets out of his cheap car to put the owner of the expensive car beside him to sleep, after which he carefully puts the body away.

Then when the light is green and only when the light is green, he obediently drives his new car further down the road.

 

It hurts him to see children cry, so when he offers them his candy, he makes sure that the sugary coating on it will put the child in a deep sleep with good dreams.

When he takes the napping children to his car, he also fastens the seatbelts for them, because he is a good man.

All of his coworkers admire his work, no doubt, since he is a professional at what he does.

 

He always completes the task given to him with zero complaints. May it be putting someone to sleep or withdrawing a certain amount of money while red and blue lights decorate the cars around him.

He never hesitates to help his juniors out, because of the polite personality he has.

 

David, 

is a good man…

New Horizons

  Planet certiorari Station 3459 E-14 entered the station, her shoulders drooped and sweat covering her temple. She slugged to the bar. Her eyebrows were slightly creased and her face contorted in a frown. She was tired of this. The star was going to explode any time now. Four years ago, when she became Galactic Soldier, she vowed to protect her planet, Raenyara, her people. Back then, their task was to find another planet for the people. The radiation hit the Raenyara much before they anticipated, and as expected, the chaos unsure. Few people survived, and she was amongst them. Her people were now refugees. With alliances falling apart, no other planet wanted to take a risk by offering shelter to them. And those who did refuse to abide by the galactic law, treating the refugees worse than servants. The poor people had to accept it, otherwise, the would-be dead. The rich didn't escape from that fate. Slowly, their reserve of the currency came to an abrupt end. Only ultra-rich were ...

Are Apples Really Red?

Colour: Are Apples Really Red?   A simple way to answer this question would be to say that, “ Apples are red because I see them red.” But wouldn’t that be a really naïve way to answer such a profound question as that, not likely to quench any educated human’s curiosity. Hence, our little aim will be to stride progressively in the direction of undermining our incomplete foundation of colour theory and rebuild it with a tinge of universal wisdom.   To begin with we really need understand the question – “ What is Red? “. A layman’s definition of the colour red would be – “ Red is the colour of an Apple “ and why shouldn’t it be. Right from the early sweet days of our kindergarten years we have been hammered by this impeccable statement to the point that we never really think of red’s independent existence or eternal origin. However the Oxford dictionary defines red as “A colour at the end of the spectrum next to orange and opposite violet..”.  Let’s stick to this def...

The Alchemist- Book Review

  It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.                                      The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho     I preface my review by saying I am amazed how wildly passionate people are in their feelings toward this novel of whether they love or hate The Alchemist. I’m one of those people who love it. But, I understand why people are so passionate in their dislike of this work. Paul Coelho looks to inspire passion in people with The Alchemist. And he succeeds in doing so especially in those who are so passionate in their dislike of this book.   The Alchemist is a novel that combines an atmosphere of medieval mysticism with the voice of the desert -- dreams, symbols, signs, and adventure follow Santiago and the reader like echoes of ancient wise voices. With this symbolic novel Coelho states that we should not avoid our destinies, and u...
