SoL Story—Volving Alone

A few days had passed, and now Kino continued his odyssey on a very vague purpose. He may have a friend to talk to on his way, but riding that motorcycle requires focusing on the streets, and it would be dangerous to take careless actions.

Even today, the blue sky soared in the sky with white clouds rolling in without covering the blue sky. The atmosphere is very comfortable to do an adventure with a sense of the breeze that blows when driving a motorcycle. Suppose everyone can act freely in wandering like this, everyone will not be stressed.

In the middle of this vast meadow, a girl rode on a motorcycle bed very comfortably and felt the wind passing through her. Yet even though she was a girl, she cut her hair short and wore long pants so as to make herself like a man. He is a tomboy.

Btw, if you ask me (Author) about the key to happiness, then I will answer that, the key to happiness is to be absolute, not to have many desires. Why do I say that the key to happiness is to be absolute? Because absolute value is always positive.

|🙁| = 🙂

"Hey, Hermes. What do you think the purpose of human life is?" ask Kino while riding a motorcycle.

A breeze blew his body as he gave a question, making his voice distort under the gust of wind that became a small rumble due to his speed while riding the motor. The jacket he was wearing protected his body from this warmth, so the air content he received was not too much.

“...” There's no answer. The one he spoke to silenced him without giving a response. It was sunny today, but being alone in an adventure was something very lonely and sad. Man as a social creature feels a pressure when he is alone abandoned by his group.

As a social being in need of others, one tends to follow the crowd. Take school for example. Why do we go to school and do all the lessons there? Why don't we just choose a job, as well as train ourselves to focus on that job? Are we there to learn or just follow others? Wouldn't all the lessons there be useful?

It is undeniable, indeed together makes someone feel calmer. If we have 50 enemies, then all we need are allies. When a zebra is chased by a lion, he will get into his group. By getting into a more crowded group, the zebra has a lower chance of being eaten by a lion. But he also sacrificed others.

Returning to the story, the girl named Kino saw several men on the side of the road. They were three men, the three of whom were playing musical instruments and dancing happily. Not only that, the three of them also seemed to be burning a large amount of meat. The atmosphere there was very lively even though there were only a few people there.

*kit!*

Without hesitation, our protagonist in this story, Kino, approaches the three men on the side of the road. He as a wanderer already knew the consequences of meeting a stranger halfway, but he himself was ready if he had to do a fight, although he preferred to avoid violence. It's human nature to seek peace, isn't it?

“Let me know what you guys are doing?” ask Kino after getting off the bike.

“Eh, Boy? What is a boy like you doing in this place?” ask a man with a musical instrument.

Remember, she is a girl with a tomboyish appearance. Some people mistake him for a man and call him “Bocah”. For this matter, he himself was also less concerned and let others call him that. After all, he would soon part with those people soon.

“I am a wanderer.” Kino pointed his thumb at the motorcycle with some supplies on it.

“So yes,” said the man.

“Oh, a wanderer, yes,” says another Man. “So, Wanderer, we are a shepherd living around here.”

“Basic lah!” said the other man with an annoyed face. “Every day we always herd goats in this land without any holiday. Really, it's very inconvenient and tedious to do the same thing every day, so you just kill all the goats we have and as you can see, you're having a party. For things that happen in the future, we will take care of in the future only.”

“Travelers, if you want, you can join us. We have a lot of fun here. More and more people will become more exciting, right?” take the Man.

“Sorry, but I have to refuse. I must get to the next country soon. I can't come with you guys for this time.” Kino pointed her palm.

“Honey once, even though we have a lot of food.”

Kino returned on his bike, then he continued on his way. Actually the next country was still far away and he did not need to rush, but he used this excuse to escape from them. He just doesn't want to do what they do. Every human being has different preferences and personalities.

•••••

Some long time Kino do the wanderer, he entered the forest area. High trees began to rise and the path became meandering and covered by grass. Right now, he had to be completely focused or he might get lost within this forest. Really, it was very unpleasant in the personal opinion of Kino.

After a while, he was completely lost.

“Hah, if this is the case, I don't know when I can get out of this forest,” monologue Kino.

From a faint sound, he heard a sound of an axe swing not far from where he was at the moment. Kino sharpened his sense of hearing and tried to catch the sound of the axe cutting the tree trunk more clearly. In this quiet forest, it was not difficult to listen to a voice clearly because there was little noise pollution.

“There, yes.”

After knowing the origin of the sound, Kino searched for the origin of this sound.

A while later, he finally reached the source of the voice. There he found a man who was cutting down a tree. Not only that, nearby there is also a wooden house that looks sturdy and very worthy to live in. This man had already fulfilled all of what he needed to live.

“Good afternoon, do you know the way out of this forest?” kino's greeting goes straight to the question.

The man stopped doing his job, turned to Kino, and said, “If you want to get out of here, then you just need to follow that path.” While pointing in a direction.

“Thank you for the help.” Before Kino turned around to leave, he asked, “Why did you cut down a tree? Didn't you already have a large amount of houses, clothes, and food because you were in the forest? Cutting down trees is no longer useful for you to do, right?”

“Yah, how, yes...” The man looked up, thinking of an answer, before returning to Kino. “Easy, this is to train my muscles. Sometimes, some wild animals appear inside this forest, so I need strength to defend myself.”

“So therefore you do not spend your time for fun ..” guess Kino.

“No. If about that, I have a different reason.” The man explained, “Man is looking for happiness and calmness in his life, but happiness also needs to be done slowly or we ourselves will be bored to do things that make us happy. Then why am I alone in this forest, I don't want to disturb anyone else. Someone might be pestering others to get their happiness.”

“Hmm... Is that your answer?” Kino turned around, but before driving his bike, he said, “Thank you for giving me this explanation.” And finally he continued his journey in solitude.
