One young man really wanted to know what was on the horizon. And he went to catch up with him. He walked and walked, and the horizon kept getting further away. The guy increased his pace, and the horizon began to move away faster. He ran, but the horizon also ran ahead. He got on the train and drove faster, but to no avail. Sailed on a ship, but the horizon remained just as inaccessible.
It seemed to him that some amazing and unsolved mystery was hidden in the horizon. Along the way, he met smart people, comprehended many secrets, but did not get one step closer to the horizon.
“Why are you wasting your energy and time,” people told him. – Horizon has never submitted to anyone...
But the guy didn’t listen to anyone and stubbornly walked forward. Years have passed. Having walked around the entire earth, the man returned to the place where he began his journey. I stopped on a hill where I played as a child. It was from here that he first saw the horizon. And finally I realized: the horizon is everywhere! He's everywhere! At every step.
He closed his eyes and smiled. Now he clearly understood that everything unusual and beautiful was always nearby. But has he really traveled the whole path in vain and wasted his time?
“No, of course not,” he answered his own question. – After all, if I had sat still all this time, I would not have understood anything!
