Long ago there used to be a kingdom far-far away… everything about that kingdom was like a dream- just perfect! The people were very helpful to each other… content… happy… the King used to treat ‘em as family.
It was like one big family under one roof… that of the vast sky… ‘n’ over one floor that is the earth…
There were two wells in that kingdom- one for the general public while the other one for the King ‘n’ the Queen in the palace where they lived…
Somehow the Satan never visited that kingdom… but then nothing is for ever… ‘n’ so one fine day Satan was passing by that kingdom ‘n’ whatever he saw there made him feel bad, uneasy, uncomfortable… he climbed up one mountain ‘n’ sat there for some time… he thought for a while ‘n’ smiled ‘n’ went up to the well for the common public… he took out one potion of madness from the bag he was carrying ‘n’ poured it in to the well… he then left smiling while everyone in the kingdom was sleeping… in the silent night… to some other kingdom…
The very next day, unaware about what the Satan did the previous night, one by one all of them became mad after drinking from the well…except for the King 'n' the Queen... ‘n’ so they started indulging in to things/acts they shouldn’t… The king got worried seeing this all ‘n’ so out of concern he tried to convince ‘em that they shouldn’t be doing such things… he tried a lot but none listened… what happened instead was that the people started believing that their King has gone mad ‘n’ so they decided to de throne him…
Somehow the news reached the King ‘n’ so he went to the Queen ‘n’ told her about everything… they thought for some time ‘n’ then they went to the well of madness ‘n’ drank from it… ‘n’ so the king ‘n’ the queen, like others became mad!
‘n’ so they lived happily ever after…

*****************
In this life we’ve two options… one is to follow the path that the king chose ‘n’ drink from that well of madness or else stay away from it- ‘n’ let ‘em think what they think…
The choice is to be insane in other’s view or to be insane in one’s own view…
So then choose ‘n’ choose well for there’s just one life ‘n’ there aren’t any retakes in the motion picture of life!

this story is from the book- veronika decides to die by Paulo Coelho... i've just tried to pen down whatever i learned from the book...
I accept with what you say. I myself think that we have to accept whatever comes in our path rather struggling for what we want.
no not et all... i dont agree with u... we need to fight for what we want! there aint any fun otherwise...
hummm...Kingdom doomed, its people vanished, the well is full of fossils now, but the madness in the world prevails...Hail to asif..
