I am in summer school having fun with students. We read this book that made me think of if I should ever trust anybody.
There's elderly, Adam, and his wife, Martha were living an ascetic life in a village of Minta, India. Their only son, who were working for making a living, is in London, UK.
One fine day, a postman passed by the farm Adam and Martha working at. He delivered them a letter, a letter from his son, Saul. At first, both of them were worried because they have not got word of him for two years. Additionally, both Adam and Martha were illiterate. Therefore, they decided to call a school teacher to read the letter aloud for them.
There's this message in the letter once a school teacher read it bassly, 'Don't worry about me. I am fine. There's 100 pounds I leave for you to buy anything you would like to.' The rest of the story is quite long. Adam goes to the city of Darpur to exchange the money order with a cash.
Throughout his long three day journey to Darpur, he experienced lots of bittersweet moments that everyone of us need to take example of. He's been fooled a lot, by photographer, by businessman. At the same time, he's been treated hoggishly. Many people he met with, in Darpur, were just too disrespectful with him which later he beat craps out of this particular person, a photographer, he beat him up to death.
The moral of the story is not to trust anybody in a breeze, no matter how trustworthy he/she is.
I got this message from the book while reading. Do not trust your mind either. I mean there's times when your heart/gut doesn't think the same way as your mind/thoughts do. So, learn how to be able to question everything. Do not trust or accept things at ease.
