Post title : Lines.

♥ You'll never know the real me.

[x]: Line :[x]

Once upon a time, there lived a dim-witted Indian king who had a bunch of intelligent men.

One day, out of the blue, the King decided to test the intelligent men to distinguish the cleverest one. Hence, he seeped into deep thought. After much thinking, he came up with a question.

He ordered his men to gather at the grand hall to wait for his arrival. Before the question is released, every man was full of confident as they had always thought that the king is stupid and that he would not be able to come up with any tricky or difficult question. They laughed.

The King sashayed into the grand hall, took a pen and drew a line on the wall. He then asked, “Dear intelligent men before me, tell me is this line long or short.”

“It’s long!” one immediately answered.
“No!” The King shook his head

Not long? So it should be short! All the other intelligent men quickly fight to answer.
“It’s short! It’s short!”
“No! It’s still incorrect!” the King replied.

As a line can only be either long or short, the men could think of no other answer. They panicked and scratched their head, trying to think of the correct answer.

“So, I see. I have fed a bunch of useless men! How clever are you all exactly?” he laughed heartedly but soon his expression changed. He added, “Since you men are just a bunch of worthless people, I shall waste my resources on you people no more! Guards! Execute them!”

Out of a sudden, an ordinary young man stepped out and said, “This line can be long at times but it can be short too. Nevertheless, it can also be neither long nor short.”
The King was anxious. He never thought that anyone would reply in such a way and as he never had deliberated the exact answer, he flustered. He only intended to use this question to castigate those men who chortled at his stupidity.

Not to show his astonishment, he asked the young man “Please explain yourself.”
The young man walked up to the King and requested the King to allow him to draw other lines on the wall. He drew a longer line than the one the King had drawn, a shorter line and a line that is exactly the same length as that of the King’s.

“Please take a look at these lines! When there is only one line on the wall, it is impossible to judge its length. Be it long or short. But when there is another line comparing with it, one can immediately tell whether it is long or short. On the contrary, if the line is compared to a line of the same length, it would be neither long nor short! His Majesty, am I not right to say so?”

The king was astounded by his bright answer and rewarded him a handsome sum of money and ordered the other men to be pulled out for execution. The young man stopped him.

“His Majesty, if you were to behead them, who else could teach the people of your country about your ingenuity? Only with them around, would you be outstanding by your intelligence, isn’t that so?

After listening to the young man’s explanation, the King took back his words. He continued to provide free lodge and food for the intelligent men. But never did he forget to reward the young man.

Moral of the story:
Humans are like this line that the king drew. If comparison doesn’t exist between people, there’s no same level of comparison then the beauty or ugliness of everything or anyone on earth would never be apparent.
Actually, everyone has his or her talent and potential. As long as one is standing at the precise level and position, his or her price would become obvious. However, one should be wise in choosing his or her comparing target. This is because comparing blindly would only result in losing one self.

theLYRICS

微微笑的看你越是认真就越让人心疼
街头那盏路灯仿佛在笑我愚笨
没什么能做但我比谁都真诚
泡一杯苦茶陪伴你到夜深

你知不知道你总有一种很可爱的独特
让我充满勇气抵抗冬天的寒冷
怎样做才会完美像个男人
喝一杯苦茶温暖你的体温

不用等你开口先说我爱你
在那之前想对你说我愿意
你不必问你也不必等
这一刻就值得爱到永恒

我该如何让你明白我爱你
在那之后你点头说我愿意
想照顾你想守护着你
这一刻只想把你抱紧

你知不知道你也有一种很可爱的天真
大男孩的口吻魅力加到一百分
怎样做才会完美像个男人
喝一杯苦茶温暖你的体温

虽然永远太不可能
少了你的完整
两个对的人奇迹就能发生

这一刻只想把你
抱紧
