A boy found a piece of paper laying down in path where busy people were walking to their work. He lifted it and its contents read as follows:
Thank you for picking me up. You care about people and their words it means. But I am not just what you people call words my friend. I am the complete soul itself. I am here to tell you that you can also transcribe your soul with paper and ink and that’s why humanity has invented language. You don’t need to be rich and famous or published in order to reach out to the people. Just learn the art of writing with such beauty and perfection that it’s capable of changing someone life for the better even if he was to pick it up from the ground just like you did.
I got a message for you too. I am old and I have come to realized that all of life and death are same for all people. In the last days while offering your prayers you will make a wish to god. You will ask him to grant your life once again fresh from the beginning because it’s stupid to waste it. Don’t waste it. Don’t be sad. Don’t be frustrated. Run away from those who try to restrict in whatever ways. I know you love the life I love and I love you even without knowing who you really are. I don’t care what you really and even if you committed some bad sins and if you feel guilty of living ahead I hope my love for you can inspire you to commit a 1000 deeds that radiate life to make up for the small sins you did. Otherwise, you and I are the same and I believe that fact that you have the potential to love life and love the people just the same way I did. God has gifted you in so many ways and I believe the power and the uniqueness inside you. Unleash it and when unleashed, love someone in the same way as god loved you. The greatest joy in the world is to bring a smile to someone’s face who never thought he could be happy again. And it’s not much of an effort trust me. I mean it will not compromise with your journey of life. You can simply buy bat and ball or football and play with the kids who didn’t have it previously. You can play a musical tune in your instrument or sing out in the streets simply. You can go out on those temples and serve food. Or the best, simply transcribe your soul on a piece of paper without your name and without bearing a receivers name and drop it in a place where someone can find it. I bet by then your power of words might have enhanced to the extent of bringing someone back to life. Oh yes drop this piece of paper where someone else can find it.!!
The Boy did like the letter said and somehow convinced a good majority of people to write unnamed letters to unnamed people. Then the collected all of them and built a library of such letters in his town.
