First Girl

by Gacina Bozidar


When the sunshine served only to illuminate one privileged part of the wonderland our girl was not aware that some time ahead the composition of the whole universe will allow the entire earth to grant this incredible privilege not to live in eternal darkness as it was of course what God decided. But was it decision of the first girl? She would be afraid of the darkness but she would be also afraid to see that every wood will be enjoying something from the light of day where it will be accessible. And the early days of the world and human nature were already mixed in contradictions. I present this doubt of this first girl as the eternal doubt for the philosophy: the whole goodness or only a part of it? Well, the girl wanted that sunshine serve her and it would be very good. And if this energy will serve to all the world she had fear that the others will grow up as easily and endanger her. That meant that all the good energy can serve to anybody and like this it would be the natural law without our human law. This natural law of universal endless good energy of sunshine for all, would not regard if anyone who granted this would endanger the first girl. The first girl was happy and it was preliminary time of the creation of the world and of the nature itself. Only one part of the earth granted the illumination and only one part of the earth had had the light and all the rest was in the darkness. As if at some village there is light of the day and at the other one not at all. If at one other the light of day would arrive, and if in the history there would be clashes between the villagers as in the human history, then it is the question. It is the question how and why one unique and good energy as for example the one from sunshine can serve to two opposite forces or villages or persons under supposition there would be a conflict. If the first girl lived alone in the region where there is sunshine alone, why then this energy was given to those who could endanger her. From this legend came the vision that it is enormous effort of the law and goodness, democracy and tolerance that all can grant the good energy but never to endanger the other person.
