jenasto's auction
as i wander i see many things, some things catch my attention while others do nothing for me. i tell all it's nothing personal and who knows i might get around to everything in time. one day i came upon a scene that i liked very much. everything in it was perfect, but i was told that perfect doesn't exist for very long, making nothing really perfect. quickly deciding this was wrong and wanting it to be mine only, i took out my knife that was never to be used and cut the scene from the world, leaving behind a void. i rolled up the scene happily, but apparently this made some jealous and others mad. animals came to me and said, "jenasto, we would like to live in that scene you have, if you give us the perfect instance we will be your slaves forever, you will have no material wants." i told them no thanks because there are two kinds of wants. 1 that which i want and get myself and 2 that which i want and cannot get, how else could it be? then the area around the void came to me and said, "please jenasto give us back our sibling, we do not like the void, it's nothingness is like a small pressure constantly applied that will drive us mad. in exchange we will give you many perfect spaces that you don't have to cut out." i told them no thanks, for even i know time moves on and the next moment ruins that perfect instance, making mine the best and one of a kind. i had a thought that this would win over the one being i love and went to the flower that can turn to stone thinking that if i shared my treasure it would love me too. but the flower would not look at it, and with it's head turned it spoke 4 words, "nothing shared is yours." i knew then why the scene would not bring me happiness for long. if i shared it then it would be mine no longer, but if it was mine i could not share it. as with most things, i cared for the moment no longer and put it back where i took it from, and not a second later it became not perfect. i went back to the flower but again it was stone, never impressed or caring the way i want it to. at least this time i learned something. but i will probably forget it.
