#82 A balloon story with a string attached!

This is easily misconstrued to be a children's story when in fact it is nothing like that at all!

Let's begin the story shall we.

Once upon a time there was a balloon and a string. The balloon can't live without the string and neither can the string without the balloon.

The neighborhood was bad and the balloon was worried being blown into bad company. The string was worried without the balloon lifting it up, it will just stay on the ground and never able to see the world.

The symbiosis works fine until such time when the neighborhood is a place of luxury and the world is already a better place compared to the the turbulence of yesteryear!

So the balloon decides to let loose itself from the string and out of courtesy did ask the string to please let it soar away.

The string of course pleaded the balloon to carry it along. Balloon then told the string, let's wait for a strong wind to carry us away.

The wind did come but the balloon did not carry along the string!

The string shouted; "bring me along as I have told you so!"

To which the balloon said; "I thought you meant when I'm blown back again"

So let not your heart be bent towards those who fleets but instead to those who are steadfast at will!
