I ate a living fly. I
mean, I almost swallowed it, till I spit it back to see it was still alive. It
killed all my appetite and I was done with the lunch.
People all around the planet
are having many different problems. South Korean Prime Minister has resigned
from his post. Ukraine and Russia are having their own problems, India is busy
with the elections, China, Africa, America, Japan, Europe, Asia…Everyone
accusing someone, everyone making friends with someone who’s accusing the same
guy, migrants migrating, terrorists killing innocent people, Armies invading
other territories, people having sex, people raping each other, people looting
each other, people killing each other…It is an ugly world out there…And here I
am, in a dusty town off the map, in the middle of nowhere, caring nothing about
the outer world, eating flies.
From where could a fly
get motivation to enter into human mouth? Does it feel that there is saliva drooling
inside, let’s get a bath! Or does it sense the temperature difference and
thinks ‘it is cool in there, let’s check out!’
In the name of all that
is logical, my dear stupid fly, just stay away from me!
The event really made
me think about myself. I am happy where I am. Everybody keeps asking me questions
such as, “what are your summer plans?” “What are you going to do with your
life?” “Do you have a girlfriend?” “Are you going to take a job or go for
higher studies?” And I want to say, SHUT UP! Maybe I don’t want a job. Maybe I
don’t want a girlfriend. Maybe I don’t care what I am going to do in my life. (Actually,
I do care, but just for the sake of expression!) I just want to live it my way, which, by the
way does not include eating flies alive.
How could a person eat
a fly? And then spit it out alive? I am unable to answer the question, yet I
know I did it. I don’t know how, I don’t know why…I think the answer to this
question could never be satisfactorily given. I think this question should be
added to the list of those useless questions we humans get all the time such as
“What is the purpose of my life?” and “What am I doing here?”
And hence I present my
gift to humanity…One more question to think about in your leisure time:
“How could a person eat
a fly? And then spit it out alive?”
