The Parable of the road to the sea In a poor village boy born into the world. He spent his days meaningless, mechanical and monotonous, like the rest of the inhabitants of this village fading, having no idea what to do with their lives. But one night he dreamed sea. None of the villagers had never seen the sea, so no one was able to confirm that somewhere in the world there is a boundless water. And when the young man said he was going to go in search of the sea from their sleep, all twisted his finger to his temple and called him a madcap. But he, in spite of everything, set off for a long time and traveled until he was at a crossroads. Here he chose the road that led directly and in a few days reached the village, whose inhabitants were peaceful, prosperous life. When the young man told them that wanders, dreaming to find the sea, they began to convince him that he was wasting his time and it would be better him to stay in the village and live as happily as all. Few years, the young man lived in abundance. But one night he dreamed sea again, and he thought of his unfulfilled dreams. The young man decided to leave the village and again hit the road. Saying goodbye to everyone, he came back to the fork and this time went in the other direction. He walked for a long time, until he came to the big city. Admired his hubbub and diversity and decided to stay there. Studied, worked, had fun, and eventually forgot all about the purpose of his journey. However, a few years later he again dreamed of the sea and thought that if you do not fulfill the dream of his youth, itll waste wasted life. So he went back to the fork and chose a third way, which led him into the forest. In a small clearing the man saw the hut, and next to it is not too young, but beautiful woman who was hanging clothes laundered. She invited him to stay with her, as her husband went to war and never returned. The man agreed. For many years they lived happily ever after, raised children, but once our hero, who has grown old, again visited the dream of the sea. And he left all, what has been associated for many years, returned to the fork and set off last, hitherto unknown to him the path is very steep and rocky. He walked with difficulty, and began to fear that soon completely knock out power. Once at the foot of a large mountain, the old man decided to climb on it, hoping to at least see the sea from a distance of their dreams. A few days later, at the end of the forces, he reached the top of the mountain. Before him stretched vast expanses of the old man saw the fork in the road and the village in which the people were prosperous life, and a great city, and the hut a woman with whom spent many happy years. And in the distance, on the horizon, he saw the blue boundless sea. And touched the old man through the tears of regret noticed that all the roads on which he walked, led to the sea, but none of them did not pass it to the end.
