The Man in the White Suit

So long I sat and stared at walls of sorrow, drowning in pools of bloodied sadness. I wondered when pain would end, when suffering would stop. I walked across fields of the unhappy, each wondering when their torment would be gone.

Together we walked, suffering in silence. Day after day, the pain became worse and more unbearable. We slipped into pools of quiet introspection filled with the sorrow of our lives and wondered to ourselves how we had come to this.

Life was like this for a long time, Bitterness seethed within us, until that one day when the man arrived. We called him the man in the white suit despite the fact he always worse khaki shorts with open toe leather sandals. His presence took our attention, for a brief moment some of us even smiled as we the humorous slogan on his shirt. It was the first time a lot of us had smiled in a long time.

He taught us an important lesson that day, as he gathered us around himself. We sat for a long time just staring at him then he said it, one sentence which changed it for all of us. He looked us all in the eyes one at a time then spoke “Be happy, forget all that is worrying you and just be happy.”
