Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum

Each and every day, a boy comes here for his ease of mind and to erase all the bad memories of life. He watches people gossiping, passing by him. Some of them looks worried, some of them enjoys themselves beyond this earthy world. In the limitless blue, birds fly away, the sun moves towards west. After a certain time, the sun says him bye-bye. He with no friend watches these silently as if he never existed. He thinks, He writers, He reads there sitting on tender green grasses. That is the only passionate thing he has, to do in his small life. He is so ordinary by the outfit, but not by his imagination. As per his imagination he touches each and every species of this planet, goes through all mankind’s mind-set, feels the galaxy, neutron star, hear their sounds inside his soul! He remained too busy to feel those that he forgot to express to others. He wanted to but that couldn’t happen. Perhaps no one was interested or perhaps he was the guy who is not interesting.

Some random but curious ants follow him by observing him coming regularly. Actually he has been observed for ages by the ant society, living near where he comes and usually sits to be a witness of nature. There might be two reasons for ants. One, he helped them by small but vital deeds from winter, from rain, from summer & from wind. On a random day one of them gratefully exclaimed, “How compassionate this monkey is towards us.”

“Wait, it’s not a monkey! It’s a cat!”

A point of interest became created so suddenly by that debate. All of the ants gathered there. All had the same question but had different answers. Even few of them marked him as a zebra. An ultimate debate began! But the ant who said ‘It’s a cat’ was great in speaking. For obvious, that ant won the debate and rest of them used to believed that! You know what! There was a great irony. One of them guessed and said him a human! But everyone was so motivated and was not prepare to follow a new hypothesis.

Still they believe that It’s a cat! But a New dispute has risen up! “Is it HE, or SHE?”

They see him everyday, He sees them everyday! He and the ants were too close to by distance, but weren’t any close to communicate. Only they can say, “He is a humanitarian cat.”

A voice rises from rival party, “How dare you to address her he?”

Fight Continues and community continues to fall apart!
