Essay on Fiction

There are two best friends walking down the street. One of them has whatever he wants to have- his family is rich. Another friend is dreaming of wealth and wants to have a lot, but not making enough efforts. The poor friend is not creative in any aspect and he does not want to be, he just expects that wealth will come to him and will make him much happier. He thinks that money can change everything in the world.

The next night poor friend had a dream of what is going to happen the next day when he will not expect this to happen… He dreamt of walking outside and meeting a person who told him everything he needed to do in order to become rich. The poor friend woke up and was excited because of his dream, but he forgot what that person told him, so he had to wait for the moment all day, but nothing happened. The only thing that happened were people who asked to get involved for volunteering in order to help those in need. Of course, the poor boy ignored the offer and nothing happened.

The next night he had another dream where the same person told him to be more attentive to get rich. The poor friend woke up and went on the street to look for his future wealth. When he went out there, he saw the same people who were asking to get involved and to volunteer for helping others. This minute the poor friend saw among these people a person from his dream and came up to him. Of course, this person has not recognized him, but offered to get involved. After thinking for several minutes a poor friend agreed. From now on a poor friend became a volunteer.

After several months a poor friend had a dream again, where someone tells him that he is already rich. A poor friend woke up and was thinking about these words all day. By the time he finished his work at volunteering, he understood that the dream came true. The poor friend now clearly understood that he was rich spiritually, which is the most important thing. Moreover, the “poor” friend noticed that he became happier and he has not thought about the money at all, because he was paid enough to be happy.

Soon, he was offered an international mission to Africa, and he agreed. There he was offered a job position that he could never resist. As a result, he was paid well, he helped people, he felt spiritually complete and he never forgot his dream. Often he thought what if there was no dream at all- where would he be now? Would he be happy and wealthy? Or would he be still complaining for his poor and miserable life? The only thing he understood clearly is that there are people that are always helping, there is the inner voice that is helping us, even if it is impossible to understand why these things happen. The most important is to be open to new opportunities in life and to believe in the best.

Meanwhile, a rich friend was seen at the night clubs, not working and suffering from alcoholism, which convinced a “poor” friend of the fact that each person is responsible for his life and his future, and that it is important to take little hints into consideration and follow your heart.
