XCIV Chapter

Sided

Oi, Tarnow... Do you think those who are busy fighting remember that this is December 31?

TarNows

It's hard to be sure. But, hopefully they find a promising start at every end ...

Sided

May the distance be shorter, may the affection grow...

War sometimes hardens the heart.

TarNows

Is correct. For that we hope that in the midst of this war they can still listen to the melody that makes their souls tremble ...

And they can understand that there is no reason to turn off their own smiles, or to turn off the smiles of their loved ones...

Sided

Do you intend to come and play a touching song there?

TarNows

Heh, I know you're not that shallow, Sisi.

Sided

You know me better than I do myself.

By the way, we also know some of them, some of their stories, told or not.

TarNows

Youre right. But what about us, do they know a little about us?

Sided

That's not important. Us, you and me... Sides and TarNow.

TarNows

Did it occur to you that one day we will tell a story or maybe share it openly about you and me?

Sided

On whom?

TarNows

They're.

Sided

We don't need that.

If I told them how great we are, they would be 89% doubtful.

If I tell them we're the good guys or the bad guys, they'll be 70% doubtful.

TarNows

Yeah, I guessed that. Most of them want proof to believe.

Sided

Yep. And then what do we need from them?

TarNows

Beliefs. Friendship, maybe.....

Sided

If that's what you're really thinking, I think you need a slap in your face.

TarNows

No. gabe. I doubt my answer.

Sided

I just think about values.

If I say that I'm going to slap you, maybe it will immediately enter your mind and make you evaluate your words.

But, if I quickly slap you in the face after what you said, then the pain will soon spread to your heart.

You may be sad, offended, angry or even vengeful without having time to evaluate the cause.

Words or writing have slowed access to physical harm and given time to think.

TarNows

But unfortunately, many people insist on the desire to see and feel physically, then refuse to think.

Sided

It wasn't without reason.

TarNows

I-i understand.

Physical or not physical.

Yet.z...,

There are people who until we leave them, we don't realize how much we DON'T need them.

And those who when we look at them, we realize how YES, we miss them.

How many times have we forced a bond to not lose?

The ego, the desire to be loved, the need to feel accepted or the panic that some of us feel for being unappreciated.

Being a part, not being abandoned, has brought us to places, meetings, talks, or programs that do not even appeal to us.

We have poured energy into relationships that we knew from the start would not work.

Not all relationships are successful or adequate. Finally when we can see it or when we release it, we realize how much energy they carry.

And...

Suddenly we feel lighter ...

Sided

You're right, TarNow.

From what you said just now, but there are also people who the opposite happens to us.

We go through life without them but when we see them in form or shadow, when they embrace us in speech or physical, all distance becomes meaningless, all emotions fill our soul, he said, the joy of reuniting mixed with a hint of nostalgia.

It is our truest bond, one that endures over time, one that is sustained by pure feelings, bound by laughter and tears, real or unreal encounters, disagreements, absenteeism, and presence. All mixed up without any kind of logic other than the swirling logic of life and for no other reason than actual choice.

TarNows

Yes, this is for those who are there, for those who leave us, for those we can leave behind and most importantly, for those we hope will never leave.

Sided

Does this talk make you feel uncomfortable?

TarNows

Ah, not at all. This conversation only troubled my heart a little.

Sided

Aboutwhat?

TarNows

About those we have known or known us in greeting some time, then give us value and then put the stamp on that value.

Sided

Therefore, every mother will tell her children not to be naughty, do not be stupid, do not look bad.

TarNows

Hahaha, Sisi. Your humor is amazing.

Sided

I know it will cheer you up quickly, heh.

I say mother and son, but I'll fix it up to be their parents and children.

It's not just a single mom's job.

When others expect us to be who they want us to be, they force us to destroy who we really are. It's a very subtle way of killing. And most parents commit this evil with a smile on their lips.

TarNows

I won't deny that. The world is filled with parental characters of that kind.

Sided

Some of them are different, and we can put our hope of change on them.

TarNows

I will patiently watch the results grow.

Sided

What do you think of Marbella and Mars so far?

TarNows

Those two kids yeah, um, they're complicated.

Sided

What kind of complicated?

TarNows

Complicated meaning complicated on its explanation.

People love the ease, as they find the answer to 5+5 equals 10.

But in reality, life does not always ask the question 5+5 equals how much.

Life asks more often, 10 how much more?

And the answer of course requires your head to think a little bit wide.

9 Plus 1...

8 Plus 2...

7 Plus 3...

and after I give these few examples, they might be able to start finding the next answer. Of course after the complaints.

Sided

Yes, but maybe they will start to feel burdened again when the number 10 contains a different statement than before.

TarNows

Slackers.

Sided

Hahahaha. hey, that's rude.

TarNows

Not at all. I just have no other words to describe how unwilling they are to use the contents of their heads which on their use is free of cost.

Sided

Gratis.

Yeah, it's free.

Then, TarNow...

Use your free head to answer my simple questions before we take another peek at the war in Grimoland.

TarNows

Tell the..

Sided

What number can create a result of 10?

TarNows

Uh!

Sided

Whahuh?

TarNows

Don't you remember the saying that time is... umm, it is...... and, did we talk about December 31?
