The man who reached the summit
He lived by a hill. He wanted to climb the hill from his young days and one day he decided to reach the summit.
He left on a faithful morning one day, the path he took was rigorous, the path was full of obstacles and he triumphed them one by one.
He met two people on his way. They warned him not to take this path. They told him that the path would lead him only to darkness. He thought for a moment. Maybe what they say is true. i should stop he thought. And he remembered what he wanted, he decided to set on journey again. They scoffed, ridiculed and laughed at him. But He didn't listen to them. He continued...
The bright clear sky which appeared to be blessing to him suddenly seemed to be jealous of his journey and it changed drastically showering torrential rain, the wind whirled and uprooted the trees.
on these difficult conditions many would have faulted. but he didn't. he continued the journey. and yes he did, he did reach the summit. He was above them all. He was proud. he was happy. He sat beneath a tree of fruits. he tasted them. He was enjoying them.
He noticed two people who were looking at him and he recognized them. They were below him. He was above them, above them all. They looked at him and scoffed, ridiculed, laughed. He heard them and he did listen to them. He thought for him self that he was greater than them, he wondered what right they had to laugh at him!?? He was angry, infuriated! He stood and moved out of the shade of the tree. He threw stones at them. They laughed even louder...
He decided to run towards them downhill. He eventually did it! . He ran downhill. He appeared like a raged bull. He ran downhill in full throttle, His leg tripped.. he was thrown out of balance, he fell.. he fell of the summit,, and they watched him fall... collapse right front of them....his thundering plunge echoed throughout the vast stretches and distances.
