23th Week:

Uncle Ben’s mortality really affected his dearest nephew, Joshua. It’s been a decade; however, Joshua still could not get over his death. Ever since that car accident which took his most beloved Uncle Ben away ten years ago, Joshua would be maladjusted by scenes of road accidents. Sometimes, he might even become neurotic after that, as those images reminded him of his uncle, stirring up all the negative feelings in him and causing inordinate agitation. His aunt was utterly worried and thought it would be catastrophic if Joshua could never walk out of the shadow of his Uncle Ben’s death. After bringing him to the counselors, there seemed to be a positive change towards Joshua’s mental health and he began to accept his uncle’s death. Gradually, he overcame that sadness and led a more cheerful life.


22nd Week:

From outside Pete’s room, he heard exchanges of abusive language again. He often wondered if his family was really considered one. He felt it was an incapacitated one, one which suffered from indifference and incompatibility. Sad but true, he had to acknowledge that he felt no potential expressions of love or care coming from these people living under the same roof as him all his life. Envious of all the happy families he has had encounters with, he frequently thought how chimerical it would be to have a family like theirs. One which he could feel love, which cherishes him for who he is, genuinely cares and definitely one which he would never take for granted.


21st Week:

Old Mr Souz has been living a life of destitution ever since he was left neglected by his one and only son. However, despite being was emaciated from malnutrition and looking sick all the time, Mr Souz had a heart of gold. He was helpful towards everyone in the village. Also, he never failed to shower love and care upon the other neglected people around. Then one day, he made a sincere supplication to the angels above, obsequious to have everyone lead a better life so that there will not be poverty and despair again. That night, he had a dream. It took place in a beautiful place, a nirvana, where angels roamed and all was joyful. An angel then came to him and told him that he had been a bona fide, passionate old man and that what he had wished was granted. When he awakened from his sleep, there was a metamorphosis in the village. Everyone carried a smile on their faces, their little businesses prospered, crops yielded, everything just turned for the better. Surely, kindness begets kindness.
