Inorda Sofiehara: A Slice of Unfathomable Conversation

A Slice of Unfathomable Conversation

It is 07 : 00 o’clock, in my room…

Me : “Well, I have so many things to do today. Washing my clothes, having my breakfast, making copy of some materials, and then I have to go to campus soon! How crowded day, before I attend my best friend’s birthday party tonight. I should hurry my schedule up. I don’t want it mess up like last days.”

X : (…suddenly) “Good luck!”

Me : (screaming) “Aaaaak. You flat me! What are you doing here again? Don’t disturb me anymore. Don’t break my days.”

X : “I am just watching you with your busy things, kind of relaxing myself here.”

Me : “Ohh, something with no job. But, I am sorry, you are talking with wrong person. I have no time to join with your free time. To tell you the truth, I have made a perfect plan for today, I do not want to break it. So, would you….”

X : (giggle) “Hahaha, how poor you are! Someone with busy time today.”

Me : “You think you are better than me? Forget your dream! You had better go to school, learning from elementary school in order to make your day worth it.”

X : “That is your job, not mine. My tasks are to make people learn, to remind people how to live well, to make people like you appreciate your own life.”

Me : “Thanks for your reminder. But this is my life, only me who can give meaning to my life, not you or other people out there. “

X : “One question. What will you do if your plan can not be perfect as you wish today?”

Me : “I will do anything. I don’t care. I will. Don’t disturb me anymore.”

X : “Well, I am sorry to tell you. I can come to you or other people anytime, in any conditions. There is no one who bans my coming.“

Me : (cynical) “Wow, great! So, what do you want?”

X : “As I said before. I only want to make people learn. No one knows when the problems come. Like me, if you consider me as your problem this time. Based on my experiences, when I was coming to some people who called me their problems, they were in a rush to get safe place. Their minds were chaotic suddenly and only thinking to avoid me or to leave me behind. I realized that human is a hasty creature which makes their lives getting worse.”

Me : “I totally don’t get it. What do you mean?” (Curious)

X : “I will give you an example. When it was raining, many people make their vehicles faster without realizing that it is dangerous for them, is that true?”

Me : “Of course! Almost people do it. What’s wrong with that?”

X : “That is analogy for them who solve the problem in a rush with deadlock without thinking its effect later.”

Me : “Ouch, you make me rethink my last bad day. I think I have enough good things to live my life well. But, when “problems” come to me, I admit that I cannot control myself. I just want to leave it, not to solve it. That was terrible for me. And today you see, I almost do it again. I am so sorry for blaming you in every your coming. However you have opened my mind so that I want to think clearly, not in a hurry. I will make friend with problems, with you. But for now, I realize that you are not a problem, you are a gift from God, Rain.”

Many people regard Rain as an analogy of problem, however I don’t say that Rain is a problem. Life is about how we see and choose. Some people said that Rain is a problem because it causes trouble to their plans or schedules, but another people say that Rain is a gift from God. I think it is how God take turns happiness for their creatures. We cannot refuse its coming, but we can choose. Choosing to enjoy and take lesson from it, or complain it meaninglessly.
