“These days were my happiest days… the days of the beer and the peanuts… this what we all could afford….”
The lady kept on with her story… telling me on her life with her husband… “on these days, we did not have any money.. we buy a bottle of beer , some peanuts , we split them and listen to the songs on the radio in each other’s arm, we were so happy”… she went on.. “ when we had lots of money, our bickering increased, we stopped looking at each other’s eyes .. instead .. we focused on the money.. we looked down… we had meat, whiskey, money… but somehow we were silent on the dinner table… no more laughs..”
She succeeded in reviving my tears… I did not tell her that I cried…. I needed to hear this… needed to hear that there is something beyond money, power, meat, bread…. With all the economic crises talk… it feels like I got myself into a washing machine with someone putting it on “very dirty wash, 90 Degrees”!
I am lucky I have others that get me back on track… but how about others.. who does not have the likes of the old lady? How about other people that will know the truth only too late to stick to it… poor human beings….
Thank you… I needed to know whats happiness… whats confidence in God.. whats a small good meal with someone you love… how does satisfaction looks in ones eyes!
