The Conversation with Immortals
‘How do you survive in this world?’ I asked.
‘I live in the world’s history,’ the immortal answered without hesitation.
‘Why do you need to live in the world’s history, but not in your history?’ I frowned.
‘If I live in my history, somehow I am alive, but I am actually dead as a stone.’
‘How?’ The conversation gave me a lot of wonders.
‘If I am alive with my memory, not with the world. Who will hear me when I cry, “Listen to me”? Living in my history means building up walls, if I shine, who will see? Nobody. Instead of being isolated in my brain, being a dead person to others, I want to be alive. Once you expose to the world, everything will be easy to you.’
‘Then, how do you keep yourself alive?’
‘I keep alive by changing myself to fit in this world.’
‘Why do you have to change?’
‘Because the world is changing.’
‘I don’t get it,’ I cried.
‘If you were me, you would understand.’
‘Tell me about it more, then.’
‘You have a short life, the world changes, but not as dramatic as my case. From the Roman Empire to modern life. I need to change so people will remember me. And one more reason, I am wiser every time I change.’
‘How does the world change?’
‘For example, the language, the clothing style, the music, more serious, the view for the race, age, sex and beauty. If you still stay at the beginning. You will freak others out. I adopt to the situation. After adopting, I will give lights to the world. ’
Guess who is immortal? The mind of a human, the wisdom of the world.
Here is the other conversation with another immortal.
‘Why you want people to remember you?’ I asked.
‘Because I am everything.’
There’s a silence.
‘Still, I want you to know. I change from time to time but the core of me does not change,’ the immortal continued.
Questions soon arise in my heart, my face explained it all.
‘If I change my core, the world will change its core too, nobody will ever trust me, everything will be unpredictable. I would not be as important as before. This is my mission to make everything seems different but everything is actually the same.’
‘Why would you do so?’
‘So you can stay human.’
I understand but I want to go deeper, ‘How everything seems to be changing, but not, keep us human?’
‘Because I am the “thing” that makes us human.’
‘How does it matter with “everything seems to be changing”?’
‘People’s mind seems to be clearer as times goes. They want to change who they are, but if that really happens, the world will be chaotic. But, keeping order is what makes us human, yes, a little creativity is needed, but throughout their lives, order occupied their mind. And, I need to balance everything and keep us human.’
‘Wait. Why when we became clearer to the world, the world will be chaotic?’
There is a pause. And followed by a laughter.
‘I had to explain to you the meaning of “clearer”. It refers to people who think who they are and what makes us human, but those who totally ignore me. I am what makes them human. They are me.’
‘Then. Why will the world become chaotic?’
‘Because people still do not know how they are, but they already believe in their ‘philosophy’, our belief is based on differences. If they do not understand me, their opinion will not be the same. That will start a fight.’
‘How do you keep the world balanced?’
‘I bring out the bright side of human and create the dark side of humanity. With these two power, they will be balanced.’
‘Oh, there is something I still do not understand.’
‘Go ahead.’
‘Why when should we change who we are?’
The world is promoting individuality. Who will change themselves? We are proud of ourselves! We will never change, this is something that we are talking about. Who will change?
‘They want to fit into the belief of “who we are”. For you, everybody wants to perfect themselves, to be perfect and to be accepted in their society.’
‘No! This is incorrect. We enjoy being ourselves.’
‘Are you the same as when you are young?’
‘No.’
‘And, being different does not always accept by others. Isolation is deadly.’
‘How?’
‘You are a human. You would understand. This is not something I can tell you immediately, you will doubt what I am saying. As time goes by, you will understand.’
