Long time ago a man born into a poor family lived in an unnamed village on the other side of the sea, took upon him to live a better life than that of his father. Barely ten years old he was sent with his older brother across the sea to seek a better life, in a new city he found shelter with unfamiliar darker faces.
As he grew up he found a job of fetching things and singing on ship; that sailed for months beyond the sea he have known. He sang with his young tender voice while his brother dove to unknown depths searching for white circles hidden in closed hard purple shells.
After few months out on the rough sea they reach the land, where they piled on goods to sell at their homeland. As they set back to the mainland their ship is filled with a new feeling. Their sails caught more wind and once the air was filled with fish and salts smells its now with spices and perfumes all giving them the sense of fulfillment.
Later on the sea lost it lure and the pearls was a hard sell commodity thou still precious. After the rough sea left it impression and the distant lands changed him into a man he was ready to get married.
In this new city he called home he found a young girl who became his wife and gave him a dozen of children. But first he had to work to provide for his new family so he left his new city and crossed the land to another new city were oil was found and people had better jobs. After few years he came back to marry his wife and take her of to a 3rd city were it promised a better life for future generations. There he rose up his children in pro-education community boys and girls alike. Then by the time his kids grew up, the first city have become a business bay so he moved his family there for his kids to grow in a flourishing space where they can grow and have a life better than that of their father.
A now 60 years passed, he retired from working in chemical plant and started to enjoy his life by still traveling on, not for a better life but for a simpler enjoyable one.
The wise one says
live the life you want and not the one you have’
