The Man Who Always Look at a Starry NIght

There is this truth, In the Beginning, things don't have names until people give it. The stars were named as Sun, Rigel, Antares, etc. The planets were named as Mercury, Venus, Jupiter etc. But all these namings doesn't give much definition...

The truth is, although properties may vary; planets are planets, stars are stars. We label them names and so they became different. We tend to choose a star perfect to our personal taste, or maybe someone has influenced us to pick one.

We feel so focused on that star. We limit our world on that star. We boxed our minds on that star. Leaving other stars unimportant which may also be shiny.

Then our world become so small. Rigid and Creep. We are afraid to look beyond other stars.

The other stars are different, they illuminate different colors and with various sizes. they maybe colder or hotter, or darker or lighter , but all of them are stars. Including the star that we choose.

Gradually, people became attached with the star, We tell others that our star is the best, the only beautiful one and others are not. Now, we judge others who might not agree with us. We encourage others to join Us, or teach others about liking our star and disliking other stars.

Then we tend to close our mind. and now, We cannot see any further, No other stars became visible to us. Nothing but the star of our choice.

But one starry night, A man comes from nowhere and meet people. He always look up at night, and when we ask him why he do this regularly, he answers... " God must have been so enthusiastic for he made millions and billions of stars for us to see." then he felt sad for a moment and says.. " but many people don't appreciate this much. They tend to pick one star, and own it. give it a name, worship it and it seems that it doesn't have any neighbor stars worthy of appreciating too"
The man closes his eyes and breath deeply.
then there is a long silence.
.
This man came and he try to let Us realized that stars are the same, they might be different in colors or sizes and even illumination but all of them give light. The Man explained it to us, but we are afraid. We know our stars and we don't wanna take a look at others. we thought that the man has misleading idea, that he doesn't have direction. and we might be lost.

The next night, the man came with different stars on his hands with various colors and sizes. The man says, "You close your eyes and feel these stars... " - We close our eyes, and see nothing but the feeling of heat sensed by our skin. Then the man continued, " Now, you don't know which one is red, green or blue star, but you will feel their Light. All of them give heat to you. Now colors and sizes are not important. They are ephemeral, What is important is invisible to the eye.
No names, no labels, no colors, nothing but a heat. "

Then we ask the Man for the last time. "Then which one should i gonna Choose? the Man replies... " Choose the Universe, the star of your choice is just a dust in the pool of universe. Be universal and you will understand each star in it --that each star is part of you---and so you begin to love each star because it builds the truth. The Universe.

Then we tend to appreciate all the stars and we realized the heat it gives. We disregard colors, sizes and illumination.Then we look further than before.

We look at others who are still boxed in their dungeon of perspectives-- who are still lingering and dying to convince others to love their star and hate or disagree others.

We tend to understand more widely. We tend to break the barriers of individuality or separateness into unity of all.

And as we open our minds. We tend to LOVE not just a STAR but the entire UNIVERSE.
