The Half Moon

The moon has always brought a cooling feeling to myself upon seeing it out of my window. But recently the moon is only at half. What does this tell you about life? It only shows that at times we only see half of things, the bigger picture has been block by our emotions. I am going to tell you all a story that i heard from a wise man,



"John, your breakfast is ready" screamed his wife. John has been married to his wife for nearly 15years. I wont say that they have a beautiful marriage but they are pulling through each day with lesser strength. John had recently suspected that his wife was having an affair. He was going to find out the truth today and nothing was going to stop him. So he pretended to go to work as usual and waited for his wife to leave. He followed her every movement until she was seen entering a motel. Upon seeing that, his blood boiled and he was clenching his fist till it bleed. He ran into the motel and followed his wife to a room. He stood still seeing whether there was a someone opening the door. "Fu**ing hell" he scolded his wife without her hearing anything. She went into the room with another guy, laughing all the way. John had finally seen with his own 2 eyes that his wife was cheating on him. Without much thinking John ran to a street shop and bought himself a gun.



"15 bloody years i have been with her, i have never cheated on her but she is going to get it" John said to himself. He hurried back to the motel, kicked the door opened and starting firing at his wife and the guy. Somehow the police was called in. When they went to the room, they saw John just sitting on the chair with the gun tightly gripped. He was mumbling some words "miiissstakke". The police officer told him to drop his weapon and stand up with his hands in the air.John looked at the officer with a dying look and shot himself in the head.



Now why did John killed himself after killing his wife and the mystery guy? Here is the other half of the story John FAILED to see. John was suppose to celebrate his birthday the next day. His wife was planning something special that was why she was acting strangely around him. As for the motel, that place bring a lot of memory to the both of them. It was the 1st time and place they both made love. His wife was actually speaking to the motel manager inside the same room,John and his wife made love. She was actually asking the motel manager if he would grant a special request to refurnish the room to its old glory. Meaning she wanted the room to be excatly the same when they first made love. And as for why did John killed himself, upon shooting his wife and the man, he saw some pictures of his young days with his wife pasted on the wall and some party planning books. He then realised that his wife was throwing him a birthday celebration. Killing himself will only get rid of the guilt.



So what do you understand by this story? At times we do things without looking at the full picture. But are we to be blame for taking such harsh act upon seeing only half of things? Well everyone has a story to tell. Recently i have been blessed to see life in the eyes of others and to be honest there are a lot of people who only have half the things we own. If only we could appreciate half of the things we have, half of the time we spend with our loved ones, half of the life we could possibly live.
*Note: For those who dont understand the story, it only shows that we dont even have half a brain.!!
