The Jaycee Prophet
One fine day, as I as wandering in the fields, the skies took on a peculiar coppery hue as small clouds of dusts kept rising above the swells and ridges that marked the horizon. As I watch this curious display of color and formation, I suddenly saw a funnel-shaped cloud separate itself from the dusty mass and in its own volition moved rapidly in my direction. It came so close that I was momentarily obscured by the image of a prophet that had frequently appeared in my dreams.
He told me that he came to reveal to me certain things about life.
“Tell me about integrity,” I asked.
“He is a proud eagle ho soars higher than any bird. He is swift, and has huge talons by which he crushes smaller birds that he despises because of their weakness. He abhors darkness, and enjoys gliding in a sunlit-filled morning. He is known and envied for his soaring flights. His eyes are very sharp, and he easily reaches his destination with a single flap of his powerful wings. He has a reputation for indomitable determination, decisiveness, strength and fortitude.
“Tell me about credibility.”
“He is a lion. His roar is a commandment by which others bow and yield to. He has a very imposing image and personality, and is reputedly known for his sublime courage, wisdom, and fairness.”
“Tell me about legitimacy.”
“He is a winged lion, a jealous and vicious beast. He, just like the Cerberus in mythology, is a ruthless guardian of the all illuminating light, naked truth, and moral authority. He is night-blind and hates slithering serpents. He enjoys going out everyday to witness the captivating radiance of a rising sun.”
“Why are you telling me all these things, my Prophet?”
“Verily I say unto you, happy are these animals for they have virtues men thought to have possessed. These beasts truly understand these virtues because they live them. They are in their fiery breath, in all their deliberate and well-thought of actions.”
“Life is indeed full of contradictions. Virtues which are supposed to be the very essence of man becomes a rare quality already found in animals.”
“I will be coming back to tell you more about life - and the propensities of man.”
“Read a very enlightening tale of a man dictated by his own creation – his vanity.”
“The title of the tale is “The Emperor and His New Clothes.”
“Until then, my Son.”
