The gentleman
There was a gentleman in BK who deemed it necessary to expound his knowledge to 3 young men.
He said Singapore was too small.
One of them agree.
He advised the young men to leave the country.
One of them smiled at him.
The gentleman was jaded and tired, but he also spoke the truth talked about reality.
However, the young men lived in the apparent.
The world is too small, but their minds were not.
As the gentleman departed, one of the young men could not help but feel his solitude. He felt the gentleman's loneliness as the solitary figure weave his way through the crowd. For a moment, the young man could have sworn he felt sorry for that gentleman. He felt he should have shown the gentleman the power of dreams, but instead, he smile at him and waved farewell. His mind was preoccupied.
There was still much he has to learn, but indubitable, thoughts of leaving the island were emerging in his heart.
