THE POWER OF ALONE: A MESSAGE OF SELF-RELIANCE by er haider khan


Once upon a time, there was a man who lived and worked in a silent forest near a lake of green water. He spent his days lost in thought, laboring in the peace and quiet of the forest. The work he did brought him happiness, and in the mornings, he was greeted by the gentle breeze and the scent of precipitation on the green plants.

One day, as he worked, he noticed something new. A beautiful girl, with eyes like pools of Surma, stood by the lake. He couldn't take his eyes off of her, and although he felt as if he gazed upon her for hours, it was only for a few seconds. She didn't speak to him, and instead, kept herself still and silent, enjoying the beauty of the forest by herself.

But then, something strange happened. The man heard her voice, even though she had not spoken a word. The voice whispered softly to him, "To be alone is perfect. You will not be hurt by anyone." The man was taken aback, but then realized that the voice was just his imagination.

As the girl stood still by the lake, the man learned a valuable lesson. He realized that to be dependent on others was not the way to live. He learned to be strong and do his own business, to shape his own fate. And with that realization, he was empowered, and he lived happily ever after.

The end.
