Mutation

Is this the real world? She felt like she had just entered the wrong dimension. It would be good if someone was there to pinch her or to tell her if this was real. Real world seemed to be so cruel in a sudden. Everything turned gray. Nobody around her were genuine, almost everybody including herself were somehow, not sincere. Even the person that she was more close to in the office, seemed to be going through a transition stage. Now, she started to understand more deeply about a Chinese old story which mentioned that "Meng Zhu (A famous ancient Chinese philosopher)'s mother moved three times just to get her son a good environment". It is so true that environment be a powerful influence to a person. She realized that everybody who were locked in this invisible prison, is transforming into inhumane freaks as time passed by. The longer you stayed the worse you become. The negative waves there might be worse that the radioactive residual from the Chernobyl disaster, they penetrate into one’s body like viruses that cause fatality. And like mutation, everybody there turns into some kind of monster when infected. It was all because of unnecessary stress that seniors put on juniors and this phenomenon continue from one generation to another like a cycle. Is she changing as well? No, because she still has self-consciousness.

She was fortunate to be a Buddhist. Many teachings had thought her to cope with these filthy situations and people. Even though she is just a normal human being that she gets emotional from time to time, she knew that she must not sink into the black ocean in front of her eyes. Pinch me! And wake me up from this nightmare! She thought as her eyes closed and her soul stepped into a dream world which seemed to be more real.
