A VAST UNIVERSE OF UNCERTAINTIES

I recall a story and ask you to be the judge of the characters and tell or convince yourself that this has no link whatsoever to the ideology.If it those i bid thee to think about this things and share your thoughts with me...


At the tender age of eleven, a young lass (girl) was asked what she thought about the world at large. She replied that there was no answer to the question as she had neither seen nor heard about the world out side. Brought up in the village many miles away from the nearest mainland, she was at a loss. The location of the village was like a mirage in the desert. The question was obvious. If no one else knows about the outside how would she? There was a truth about what she had said but it still puzzled the elders as to how she came up with the conclusion. Months later and unknown vehicle came and a bunch of young explorers arrived at the village. With gifts and new ideas the outside world started to make sense little by little. After this encounter the little girl was asked again what she thought of the outside world. She was proud to show of the gift she had received but claimed that alas this information still qualified her not to understand what the world entailed. Yes she had seen some people but were they representation enough to describe everything that went on outside the village. By the request of the leaders, the child was asked to be taken along with the strangers to the foreign lands. This was to enable the child get a glimpse of the world outside. After five years out side the village, the young lass had come off age. Wisdom was not very far from her lips. On the way to see an acquittance was grabbed by the hair. The attacker struggled and asked her for her personal belongings.. After handing over everything she had the attacker was not satisfied. A knife was put at her throat. He asked what she thought of the outside world. It was no hidden thing that she was an out cast in the region. At that point she replied...THE WORLD IS NOTHING BUT A VAST UNIVERSE OF DARKNESS.... WITHOUT THE LIGHT THERE IS NO TELLING WHERE ONE MIGHT GO....


As the girl stated many things in life are as vast and wide as the universe... Whether human or not... Without a sense of direction anyone on their journey will be doomed. How then do we know ?.. Where do we start to seek ?..... What if we try and still cannot find our way through this universe? .... What are the things that seem so vast that we tend to get lost?
