Enlightenment
I used to walk around every day carrying a backpack full of bricks, because that’s what I thought I had to do. I’d look around and see everyone around me with their shoulders hunched forward and their gaze cast downward and think eh, that’s life. I wore the backpack to classes, to work, to social exchanges…sometimes, I would even forget to take it off before laying in bed every night and lose sleep over the pressure of the weight. One morning, I woke up…spine knotted, joints aching, heart filled with dread over carrying the damn backpack throughout the day ahead… and I decided to cheat. I looked both ways to make sure I was unseen, and then I slid one of the bricks out and tossed it clear through the window. The shattering glass sounded like wind chimes.
