Once upon a time.

Once upon a time, there was a hard-working man. He lived a tough life, was raised an orphan and later had to pass his adolescence with few friends. A trader by profession, he used to take goods from one place to another, city after city, trading his items to get important goods that were required back home. Having a love marriage of his own choice, that proved to be a success for him. What good can life be without true, honest love. He carried on with his trade and happy married life and was blessed with a beautiful daughter. Being a good father and a good husband, he worked hard for them to live in peace. Middle age was not an issue for him unlike many people of his time and he became a philosophical, deep-thinking introvert. Pondering on life's mysteries, he would spend days away from his city and meditated in distant mountains and hills.
Its surprising how people react to different things and ideas in life. An idea for one may be a freedom but for other could be a prison. A belief for one could be a harbinger for peace and for others a wrath of war.

  1. I love this story - it's so real - this man finally found what was the true happines for him. I mostly adore the last lines - everything depends on your point of view.
