My dear friend,
I am
writing to you cause I feel you need a helping hand – even though I may be
miles away...
It’s been
days, now, that I am thinking of your sensitive heart and I am wondering what
may have happened to you. I don’t know, but I won’t ask. I am just going to sit
next to you, imaginarily, and tell you a story.
Once upon a
time, there was a sweet girl with a happy heart named Katie. She was born happy
and nature endowed her with kindness and affection. Growing up in an
environment full of love and understanding, Katie realised that she could get
easily hurt by people who were clumsy in their behaving... Nevertheless, she
wanted to grow wiser; so she sailed away to a remote island. There, she met a
lot of different people from diverse tribes and nations. She started learning
habits from other cultures and her awareness of diversity increased. She understood that people are very different
and that many times one should make the effort and give the other person the
chance to explain him or herself.
Everything
was going well and Katie started feeling like home! But at that
particular time, Katie got hurt from a person, whom she perceived as a friend. And
this happens in life... But Katie had a sensitive heart and could not forget
that incident. She started becoming less sociable; trying to focus only on her purpose
of being in that island, that is, to become wiser. She needed a sign...something
to make her happy again.
As Katie
could not see any sign soon, she decided to leave the island. Before she was
about to board the ship, that would bring her back to her motherland, she stopped
for a moment to think all the good and bad memories she was taking with her, as
lessons for life.
