A scytheman

That day,
We talked about out career pathway and about life recently.
We chose to stand at the petrol there.

Then, I met an uncle who I always bumped into on the street.
As normal, I said Hi to him.
After he went to toilet, he came to us.
He participated our conversation and talked about his life.

He said,
He married because of his parents' wish and then he got a son.
After he retired, he thought he can enjoy life. Who knows.....
He cant and eventually he have to earn money for his son.
For the next thirty years, he has been scything in the meadow.
Suffering the sun burning feeling and begging for others to give him job. He goes to houses one after another everyday to ask "do you need scything service?"
His way to use money is to purchase things that really needed only, so not much money he need. However, this is not the case of his son. His son always used more than he earn and not keeping for any future usage.
He is seventy-two uncle now, unlike the others who can play chess and chat with friends, he still need to work under the sun.

Then, he went back to his job.

We looked at each other.
What are our lives and what is his?
Just a moment before, we are feeling down,
because our views are so narrow to problems faced now only.
Due to his story, we jump out from the circle
and realize that our lives are more than enough.
He broaden our world views.
It's not that the problems we faced now is not importance anymore, it's just that they are not that importance.
What is the most importance then?

Like what she said, be happy.
When I gathering with her and shared this story.
"Be happy" is what she reflect back to me.
^^ Yea..real happy and it is not sth spoken only.
It is coming from the bottom of heart.
No reason, no principle, no philosophy.
Only those who know will know.
Who havent known will have lots theories because
theories are the ways for them to reach happy state.
Anyway, i think they will know it one day,
as long as they never give up.

Enjoy this moment. =)
What a nice day.
Due to a scytheman who brighten our lives today. ^^
