Life

by Gacina Bozidar


We are going to see what the future is bringing! We already know! These two propositions served to school competition of the writing. Hundreds of schoolboys wrote about certitude of the future and many others about uncertain future. The best one was the text about uncertain future because in this text schoolboy first said there would be two or three hundred certain years and after they would be gone it would be difficult to know anything. This was mixture of two rather then one. Finally, it was about the first proposition that we are going to see what the future is bringing. The good tales served to educate hundreds of children and many good tales were converted into movies. This work of best rewarded schoolboy was about two futures. One future would be easy to be seen in advance and the further and further times not. The world will stay developed. After the constructions of the fantastic villages and good houses where a spirit of optimism was served by the sisters as the magical word: advancement all will progress. But the even better children, if by God's grace they were better for some reason thought that the word 'advancement' will not follow the logic of their goodness because being already good there is no need to advance and it is only for the weak ones. The discussion went on. Good houses never changed the policy to deliver to the visitors the magical promising word of progress, advancement, going further and further towards success in life. For that reason the best rewarded schoolboy divided the future in the phases. The first one of his vision is bringing the wisdom. The first thing to look for is the job. The second part of this future was the retirement. To retire. To have peace. He mixed the values. The best thing is advancement and sport. The athletics. During the history it will be understood that love would have been the cause of living. And in the more advanced stage the retirement. The question was about how the simple hope is, though everything is drama. He invented the opposition of drama and simplicity. Who knows what is the best for one individual? It seems to be the famous athletics. It seems. And to retire offer the peace for very tired good old man and the wonderful life with the birds, the family, the friends and the athletics offer the effort and hypothetical and possible participation at the championship or any competition knowing that Olympic Games are best challenge. The retirement is peace. Peace of mind. Peace of all the being, good man, good old man. The schoolboy said we were already the athletes but we are going to retire. The school teachers wished that this simplified logic of overall life will help that hundreds of pupils will have the basic understanding about whole living and engagement in this world. This engagement will not be only in the athletics. Later it will be explained that it would be love, it would be marriage, it would be Family.
