Reflection

“Beautiful!!!” He exclaimed looking at the beauty of sunrise.

“yeah, looks like more important than the damn sleep” the other one obeyed with him.

"Haha, you said my inner word" he hadn't turned to see and continued "do you come here daily?"

"No, only when you come" other guy replied

“Why?" he turned around. "Why do you look like me?” Both said at once looking to each other.

“who are you?” Again, both said but one with emotions included in his words and other calm.

 The calm guy fell into thoughts when the other guy shrugged his shoulders.

“Ah! I feel tired, I need to head back to home and take rest”

“That might be because you are working hard, you deserve rest” the calm guy replied.

“how do you/I know?” both said simultaneously.

“Why am I/are you obeying you/me” both said again at a time.

 The calm guy felt into his thoughts again.

"How did you/I come here?"

"Is it a kind of prank" He got annoyed

"I don't think so"

“who the hell is this guy” the other one said in low voice.

The sun started to heat up both the guys left from there.

                                               *******************************

“It’s 6 AM, you said you’ll woke early” his wife reminded him of his plan.

“I can’t” he said.

“Yeah, No one wakes this early that too it is too cold” suddenly the calm guy said.

“What the .... how did you/I come into my home?” both exclaimed.

“Wait, lets figure it out, it is a serious issue” the calm guy said.

“you leave now right away” he roared closing his eyes. For his surprise he disappeared.

He was surprised and thought it might be some superstitious.

“what happened?” his wife asked.

“I think I saw angel now” he said.

“might be your hallucination” she smiled and said. He smiled.

                                               ***********************************

“You punched him?” his colleague asked him.

He nodded. “maybe I shouldn’t have” he thought.

“He deserves that” the calm guy said.

“why the hell you appeared again” he was annoyed.

“dude, what’s wrong with you?” his colleague asked.

“nothing, I’m in bad mood” he said and gestured calm guy to follow him.

They both went into the restroom.

“so, no one sees you?” he asked.

The calm guy shrugged.

“Are you a ghost? Or Angel? Or something super power?”

The calm guy started to fade out.

“what are you” he roared again.

The calm guy disappeared completely.

He sat there and started to think.

“Who am/is he/I?” the calm guy reappeared.

“I’m you” the calm guy said.

“what?”

“you remember the book you read about thinking brain and feeling brain?”

“I read but I don’t remember”

“Exactly I remember the things you don’t”

“what the hell?”

“I’m your thinking brain”

“then why are you outside of me?”

“cause, you are dominated by feeling brain, so I have no space in there”

"so you say I'm not thinking?"

"No, you are just expressing"

"What am I expressing?"

"Just your emotions, but not the thoughts cause I'm not in there"

"Okay, so you say you are thinking brain"

"Yes"

“then why do you disappear suddenly?”

“I’m afraid of feeling brain”

“but you look smarter”

“It is not about my smartness. It is about how you treat me. you ignore me, you pay attention to him. So, I obey feeling brain”

“you are saying there is another brain controlling you both”

“Yeah it is built on how disciplined you are, to accept me you need to be disciplined”

“How dare you to say I’m not disciplined”

“This is the problem with your feeling brain, it makes you volatile”

“Volatile?”

“Come here” calm guy asked him to come in front of a mirror. “Can you see your reflection?”

“yeah”

“Can you see the same reflection if this mirror is broke?”

“no”

“that’s it, feeling brain make you volatile so that you won’t see real you”

“Who is real me?”

“Real you are the balanced mixture of thinking brain and feeling brain. You lack discipline, you give power to your feeling brain, feeling brain makes you volatile so that you can’t see real you, and so I won’t get my part in you”

“So here you are to complain?”

“Maybe that’s why I’m here”

“Then why do you obey what my feeling brain said?”

“Coz you haven’t gave me power to say against feeling brain”

“Here we go again”

“It’s a loop, you give power to feeling brain, it block you from me, you become more disciplineless and you give more power to feeling brain”

“So how do I control it?”

“The only thing you can do is being discipline, that breaks the loop”

“Okay, how do you know all about this?”

“I’m thinking”

“Then why haven’t you thought about this before”

“cause, you never thought about it”

“What?”

“Now you are letting me to think, coz you surprised by my appearance.”

“So, thinking brain appear to everyone who lost their way?”

“No, I don’t think so, if it had there might not be these many idiots around you”

“then how do they know about these things?”

“they don’t, they will know if they allow me”

“Then, why don’t you tell me solution”

“The only solution is to keep in mind the story of reflections, you stay calm, just like still water in the lake and see the reflections in it, the calm the water is the more you can see the reflection.”

“How do I remember the story?”

“Walk to any lake in the peaceful place and watch reflections?”

He smiled and the calm guy disappeared.

                                   ************************************

He was walking through the forest trees, not so far from the roadway, he went straight to the lake there. Bent forward and stared his reflection for some time. Then headed back few steps and sat on a rock there, the full moon’s reflection appeared in the lake. He sat staring at it and thought the true beauty can only be felt in the clear reflections but not in the volatile one.
