The unknown query

The young man tugged at my heart.

It was not his appearance that bothered me but rather the pale aura surrounding him.  That pale aura which defines a human in confusion. That aura which when shaped right has the ability to transcend normal human boundaries and move this man to greatness.

I know not where where hence he came. I know not where he will travel to but as he was enveloped with a soft haze there in his own private island filled with the would be ghosts of his future, my heart felt a strange pull towards the young man whose face spoke of confused hope and confidence.

Nevertheless, I persisted, walking away for I didn’t want to break his eternal spell. That etheral glow about his body spoke of the nothingness mankind will go do and of the sand from where he came.

As I walked away from the young man I thought of the dreams and hope that would have laid inside that head of his. Maybe he dream’t of a girl or of money or of power. Or was he one of those who dream’t of world peace or eradication of hunger or peace. I know not for I walked away from the tug my heart gave towards the young man.

Did he have a mother with whom he fought tiny fights? Or did he have a brother to share his last meal ? Or a sister to call his own? Or a father who was proud of him?

All these and more were the unknown queries never meant to be answered.

But shouldn’t I answer this unknown query?

Was it wrong to leave a dead young man lying on the road and going my way or was it wrong on the young man’s path to die on my pathway?
