By the age of 45, most people start to get lazy, expecting rest. On the other hand, you constantly feel the weight increase on your shoulders, and your heart is getting cold. You tend to be short-tempered with neighbors, so you spend most of your time alone.
Eventually, you find someone like yourself, crazy yet thoughtful, loving yet far away. Maybe they are friends; perhaps they are more than friends. But still, you are not sure. One day, you will do something that will make everything disappear. You will die, so you and your partner start to become less nomadic. You will travel to the city of your choice, and spend some time there in peace. You go to the Himalayas and Tahiti to enjoy the stunning waters and bustling markets.
You two know that there will be a time when you will feel like you no longer want to move away, want to stay until the moment before death, finally settle down and take control of your wild heart, and so it happens.
I'm sure none of you expected that at 60. The sea extends out in front of you, and in the distance, you can see the island from the harbor. You have bound yourself to a rhythm, even though it is different from others. Every day, the two of you run along the white sand and dip your feet in the clear water. You go to the busy market at least once a week, and you even find your little place by the water where no one goes. In this moment of life, you reflect and perceive life. You are approaching the end of your life.
Now is the moment when, for once, you decide that you have done enough on this long road and you are going back. Or going to a place you don't know about. You are now 75 years old, an older man who lives in one corner of the room. Most of the time, you are wandering around the city like a ghost to answer the mysteries of life. One night you go to sleep. Your past dreams come back, but all night long, they fade away into your dreams.
And in the morning, you are nothing but a pale, cold corpse lying in bed. Congratulations to you. You've reached the very end of the road. So, how was this long journey? Good? Wonderful?
