Just like a scene in a horror movie, i found myself half awake and half asleep like i just saw a zombie in my dream. It was between 2am and 3am in the morning, the lights were off so i rushed to switch it on. The monster that kept me awake was right before me staring into my eyes and asked me "would the boy you were be proud of the man you are becoming"? I moved back with shock and fear like i was hunted by my thoughts and wondered why my brain was working through that deserted town like my mind was directed only to ponder on that thought and search for the treasure which holds the answers to that question.
Then came a second monster, it was the words of Thomas Paine which says that "it is necessary to the happiness of a man that he be mentally faithful to himself". I began to search for clues with the map i had to get the hidden treasure and leave the deserted land. I wonderd if my reputation would recognise my charachter if they meet in the dark.
I spent a night in a tent, i had to connect the dots on my map to locate the treasure but found out that failed and broken promises are just as useless as a broken golden cup. They seem nice and useful until they fall. I choose not to take the path of making promises that i would not fulfil. Then i saw a strange road leading to the treasure but oh no i said, "broken promises causes the world's greatest accidents along the road where lies are being chased". I found a man along that path he had told white lie and so went colour blind and could not get to the treasure. But it's discouraging to think how people are shocked by honesty than by deceit.
I wonderd if he was sure of the path to the treasure but was scared, cause we all punish ourselves by every promise we break and gain rewards for our fulfilled promises. I wanted to give up along the road cause i was thirsty and needed water to drink, i walked a few distance and heard the sound of a rushing water but getting there it just dried up like it knew i was thirsty but they are no diffrent from Uncles and Friends who make promises and dry up when they should fulfil the promises. I wished the water was silent than sounding better with deceit.
Deceit by the rushing water added to my troubles, subtracted my energy, multiplied my difficulties and divided my effectiveness. One keeping to his words protects one's reputation and keeps people dependant on you. A fulfilled promises are always strong no matter how weak it looks. The journey through a slippry path got me into trouble by taking me into a cave then an ugly monster rushed out and said "Never view anything positively that makes you break your word, make your words your bond". I was taken aback by my mind set, i recognized that i did kept my words but Monsters of Failed Promises hunted me. Comming out of the cave i saw the treasure a distance away through the path of Fulfilled Promises, the monsters that were unleased by my thoughts were all flying to keep me away from getting to the treasure, i defeted them and found myself going back to bed after long hours of battle and searching for the Treasure of Fulfilled Promises, i was victorious while i slept..
