Syndrome of Protrusions
The train was moving slowly, so it was easy to stay mindful of an ever changing landscape: mountains, forests, Italian small houses. And while backtracking all my journeys, suddenly, I realised that no locals seemed to take delight in the nature that surrounded them — only tourists waved their cameras…
— Maybe people living here do not realise what they have?— I thought to myself, examining the empty little balconies pass by outside my train window. Regardless of whether the balconies were beautiful or not, none of them had a living soul. The same situation could be observed in Monaco — balconies here remained lonely as well…
And in Nica nothing changed. I spent more than one day there, but on the balconies around the seashore I saw nothing — not even a single figure… But, one day a miracle happened! I could hardly believe my eyes! I noticed a man in the window. He stood there, gazing at the sea!
— Wow, lovely old man, admiring the wavy sea show — I thought…
Suddenly, I heard police sirens calling. The real reason for this man’s interest crossed my mind… He was just curious, what was the crowd of police officers doing downstairs…?
Oh… Who would refuse a larger balcony? But those who have it, use it not to enjoy the environment, but…
– Alex, I understand what You want to say. After all, most people do not respect nature or beautiful views, but I am different!!! I often use the balcony, even if it’s cold! — one of the readers will say, who needs a balcony ONLY to conduct a smoking ritual…
– Alex Monaco, I use my balcony too! I put my cat there, when her heat cycles begin! Oh yes, sometimes she pees there and neighbours get angry, but… — another reader would say.
– I dry my laundry there! — exclaims the third
– If I had a bigger and insulated balcony, with tinted glasses (so that no one could see what he is doing in the room), I would really use it, — would complain a man with protruding syndrome…
People are strange. They would love to have ‘luck generators’ — consoles with protruding buttons, but if they did, I doubt that they would benefit from them… Do You know why? People DO NOT HAVE TIME. People dedicate their lives not to themselves, but to leeches of youth; fashion + businesses + movies + series + internet + revenge plans + doubts.
Dear reader, I know, You understand that this article is not about balconies. It’s only a metaphor … We talk about other protrusions … The problem is that there are many men, dreaming about bigger… Women, thinking about fuller… My friend Angela told me that one of her friends wanted to have enlargement, but she felt uncomfortable after having the operation. She was getting insolent comments and decided not to demonstrate her new bust, hiding instead it under dark, wide clothes …
You have no idea how deeply I desire to make people understand, in order to feel good it is not necessary for one to own a luxurious house or balcony in Italy — but be the one who is able to dedicate time to HIMSELF!!
Understand me well, it is not wrong to strive for something, but it’s bad when you reach a dream and forget to enjoy it…
We don’t need protrusions to relax, we just need a desire!!!
