Once, there lived a child. He lived in a happy family with
parents and siblings. However, he never stopped to think
about how wonderful his life had been. He just kept on playing,
squabbling with his siblings when they did not want to play
what he wanted to play.
However, whenever he wanted to apologize, he would always
say, "Never mind, there's tomorrow."
When he grew up a little, school was a very nice place
for him. He learned, made friends and was very happy. However,
he never thought that this was happiness to him. It all
came so naturally that he felt it should become part of
his life. One day, he had a great fight with his best friend.
Though he knew he was in the wrong, he never took the initiative
to apologize or made up with his best friend.
His excuse was, "Never mind, I'll do it tomorrow."
When he grew even up some more, that best friend was no
longer part of his life. Even though he still sees his friend
around, they don't even bother greeting each other. However,
that was all right because he still had other good friends.
He and his friends did almost everything together including
eating, playing, doing homework and fooling around. Yes,
they were a bunch of very good friends.
When he graduated, work kept him very busy. He found himself
a very pretty and virtuous girlfriend and she soon became
his constant companion. He made himself busy with work because
he wanted to get promoted to the highest position within
the shortest time possible.
Sure, he missed his good friends. He missed them a lot
but he never tried keeping in touch with them, not even
a telephone call.
He always said, "Boy, I'm so tired, I'll catch up with
them tomorrow."
It didn't affect him at all because he could find colleagues
who are always willing to go pubbing with him. As time passes
by, he slowly forgets about his friends.
After he got married with kids, he works even harder in
order to bring comfort to his family. He never buys flowers
for his wife nor does he remember his wife's birthdays and
their wedding anniversaries. It was all right because his
wife always understood him and never blamed him.
He felt guilty at times and wanted very much to have a chance
to say to his wife, "I love you", but he never
got down to doing it.
