A
Ruthless Person
A giant
figure stood in front of me. He was not a normal person. He looked like a
dragon. Staring at him I asked, “Who are you?” He laughed very loudly. The
irritating sound of his laughing expanded throughout the house. He answered,
“Why? Don’t you know me? I am well known all over the world. I can bet
you that every
person in the world knows me very well. Don’t ask me that foolish question
again.”
I kept
silent for a moment.
Having
been silent for a second he shouted at me, “I am the most powerful person in
the world. I am also very intelligent. I can even prove that 2+2=3 and people
will believe it without making any arguments.
I said,
“But how?”
He
replied, “If a majority of the population will say 2+2=3, then the rest of the
population will believe that. What the majority of the population says is also
very easily believed. I possess the power to make the majority of the
population say that 2+2=3. Now, I am sure that you will understand how I can
prove that two plus two equals three.”
I
disbelieved what he said.
The giant
continued, “I can easily make a person dishonest and disloyal as well. I am
ruthless person. I can make people fight and kill each other without any
reason. I can motivate any person very quickly to do whatever I want. It is a
piece of cake for me.”
My
curiosity was aroused. I said, “I can’t
wait that longer. Please tell me. Who are you?”
He
replied, “My name is Money. People like me so much even though I have many evil
qualities.”
Immediately
I said, “You are the worst creation in the world and the greatest source of
trouble, aren’t you?”
The giant
replied, “I am not sure about that. I do however know that I have been created
by human beings and not by god. ”
I awoke
from the thought provoking dream. I saw
there was some money scattered on my table. I looked at the money for a quite
long time.
