The World's Stupidest Person

#Listening to: Skyscraper

Hi again (:

Another boring day again, huh?

What to do? Another 2 weeks and I would be away to MRSM!

Time sure ticking fast huh?

-Sigh-

You know, I read a this story from the manga 'Fruits Basket'.

It was very sad that it almost made me cried.

It was about the world’s stupidest person on a trip, and because he’s so stupid, people cheated on him wherever he went. 

And during that time, all his money, clothes and possessions were cheated away from him. 

But the tourist was simply too stupid, so they took all his things with a simple ‘thank you for your help’. He even cried at made up stories and just gave up everything he owned. 

In the end, he was completely naked, and he started to feel embarrassed. 

So, he went to a forest to hide.

But, in the forest, he met demons. 

The demons want to eat him, so they came up with a skillfully plan to trick him. 

Of course, the tourist fell for it, and offered an arm and a leg. 

And then at the very end, the tourist only had his head left. 

He even gave his eyes to the last of the demons. 

That demon told him, while eating his eyes, 

“Thank you very much, I have a present for you as well.” 

But that was a lie too. 

The so-called present was just a note that said ‘Idiot’. 

But the tourist was so touched that he cried at this. 

“Thank you! Oh, thank you!” 

He said. 

“This is my first time ever getting a present! I’m really happy, thank you so much!” 

And tears just came endlessly out of his empty eye sockets. 

The tourist was left out in the wild. Where he silently died...

I closed my eyes, and deeply thought about the story of the tourist. 

Deeply thinking about that story of how many times he was lied to and when he had only his head left, he still thankfully cried. And then, I understood it. 

That’s love. Isn’t it?

He never thought about it, the tourist never thought of himself.

 And even though he’s an idiot to lots of people… 

To me, he’s not an idiot at all.

So what do you think? 

Close your eyes, and try to be in the tourist's shoes.

Try to feel what the tourist feels.

It must be sad right?

That's why... We shouldn't take advantages on people's kindness/help.

They sincerely want to help.

And yet, we just cheated on them.

After so much crying,

Akila Abba (:
