A lonely bottle

The bottle stands in the market. This is a glass bottle. Every day many customers pass through, and it seems like nobody notices it. It is the only bottle of its kind in the entire shop.

Days pass through, clients change, the bottle observes.

Once it was noticed by a man. The man was not an ordinary person. I do not know what exactly what had made him so extraordinary, but he just looked interesting. So he decided to buy this bottle. On the question of a cashier about why does he buy the lonely bottle he answered "I just feel uncomfortable seeing this bottle standing alone." He also said that it reminded him of himself.

This guy, he was not lonely, but he could not understand himself completely. What was it that restricted him from probably the most important knowledge in the entire life? In fact, the man had a trait of not being satisfied with surface answers. So he decided to ask the cashier of his life.

The answer surprised hem, although nothing special was about life of the clerk from the first sight. The cashier said then, "I have a proper life and sincerely try to do everything making my and other's life better".

Why was it that much surprising? Well, you see, there is nothing special in a work like a guy behind a stand in a shop, but "How can such a simpleton be so virtuous and have more real values in life then I, manager of a large company, do?" the customer asked.

The answer was on a surface: Love.

A name of the customer was Jerry, and a name of the cashier was Mark.

Then Jerry asked Mark, "I am just curious, how do you life your life?"

The answer followed, "I do not really follow a particular way of living. I mean, I live how I feel I want to live, almost intuitively, an it gives me feeling of here and now, and it makes me happy."
