"I think I can recover from this journey into apathy" Said the young man
"I wish you well" Said the old man
"I dont want to lose myself"
"Do any of us?"
"This world can make you cold, can lead you to disregard your neighbour, it can build up and takeover....I see it me, in you...it is everywhere."
"What do you plan to do?"
"Do one thing of sacrifice every day"
"What will you do today?"
"I will impart my struggle to someone who has given up"
"Being me?"
"Being you"
"How is that sacrificial?"
"Because I hate you"
"Hatred is the end-road of apathy"
"That is why I am here...to arrest the process"
"What else?"
(thought)
"I never gleamed in your eye, I was an eyesore"
"Yes"
"Your hatred bled into me"
"Yes"
"I make the choice to continue your legacy or to stomp it"
"Yes"
"Will you join me, help me?"
"Will you?"
"I am, and it is taking everything I have in me, every bit of resolve, to sit here and face you. To be honest, to be a thing of love and understanding, of forgiveness. You tried to make me into a thing of you, of bitterness and detatchment. I am rising above and beyond and I want to take you with me."
"Every man must take his own journey, I wont be able to tag along, otherwise I would just be humouring you"
"Will we ever meet at that point?"
"We already did"
