I ponder on the idea of the so called 'Halloween' To the idea of it is 'all fun the you can have with your friends and have treats!' But no family? That question hits me. The idea of having fun w/ friends is one thing, saying you can't have a ton of fun w/ your friends unless its 'Halloween' Well, What about the fact that this holiday is just stupid? That we play along this little stupid game, thinking it brings us joy to our dear little hearts. But does it? Well sure it does, on that day, but after a while you start to wonder. "Why didn't i get as much candy as that kid?" Aren't you a fat greedy kid! Which makes me stat to wonder why I'm telling you this instead of telling you this in a story.
~story~
One day a man walked up to two boys on a bench, one eating Halloween candy, and one watching him eat it. The man asked the boys "What are you doing?" The boy eating candy replied to man with a simple answer that a 1 year old could understand. "Eating candy!" The man didn't like that answer, since the young boy next to him, couldn't say the same thing. So the man asked again. "What are you doing?" And the boy answered the same. The man walked away and decided to try again tomorrow. The next day when he got there, again the boy was eating candy and again the young boy was watching. The man asked with the same tone and smile "What are you doing?" And the boy answered the same, but this time the young boy looked up. The man smiled, and walked away. The man did this for two weeks and on the 14th day, it was different. The man went up to the boys to see that only the young boy was there. So he decided to change his question. "What happened to the boy who eats his candy and doesn't give you some?" And the boy replied with such a good answer and it was "That boy, was my brother, who suddenly died, when you left. He was talking about everyday he got candy and then died. Its him who said he would never give me candy since, and i don't deserve since were family. But he was wrong. Family deserves as much as friends, and i hate to say, but my brother shouldn't have came into the world, unless he was unselfish and cared about others." The man smiled, turned into an angel and flew to the heavens.
The end!
