a tiny reflection

a man, once tired of his life, decided to take a journey through the desert. he thought that if he were to survive the journey with whatever limited supply he has, then he would be fortunate indeed to even make it out alive. after all, he was thinking of ending his life on that journey.

as he embarked on the journey, he began thinking of the events that have happened in his past, and he began cursing and swearing every time he thought of something really bitter. and he thought to himself, "why can't you make the pain end right here and now?!"

3 days into the journey, he had completely exhausted his rations and was starting to feel light headed. his bottle was almost dry and the scorching sun beat down on him mercilessly. it was as though he was being whipped by a thousand demons that were out to torture, but not to kill him.

as he trudged on inch by inch, he saw an oasis about a hundred metres away. he smiled, and said, "bah... this would only drag on my misery!"

in spite of all the negativity, he decided to carry on his journey to the oasis.

upon reaching the oasis, he began gulping down huge scoops of water like a mad elephant. he splashed some water on his face as he felt all the pain melt away with each trickle of water down his face. just then, did he realise that...

he forgot to smoke the pack of Next Chill Menthol he had brought along with him throughout his journey!

as he lit his first cigarette and took in the first puff, he began thinking more about his life. and all he said after that was: Life is Good.

and i'm gonna have my first stick for the day now. enjoy!
