The Sun's furrowed eyebrows indicated that it was in no mood for jokes that day. The climate patterns had changed. Previously suitable for that time of the year, circumstances put into play infuriated The Sun's very existence.

The spell was cast.

The increase in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere wasn't looming. It had arrived. The increase in carbon dioxide gases was real.

Staring down in the direction of the stage, the Sun turned its dial up a notch. The blistering, severe heat predicted by the experts of their world would occur if certain activities did not cease.

They did not. They continued on. That day, they gathered to hear why they should continue still.

Offstage, the blazing noon Sun hammered relentlessly the crowd as some huddled in the small landscaped area. Others attempted to distance themselves. The Sun pitied those poor people exercising freedom of congregation. After all, it was their right, as they often proclaimed to the heavens. Their wrists swayed. A tiredness swept over them as they fanned intermittently. This temporary reprieve between strokes would have been laughable had it not been insane.

The Sun blew shimmering breaths of heat among them as they spoke. Babies crying, toddlers irritable. Thirsts unable to be quenched fast enough. They wished those speakers wold get on with their illustrious lies dripping with honey. It was better, they convinced themselves, than hearing the stark naked, ugly truth.

Onstage, the Sun's targets stood. Some strutted. Some blustered. Some whimpered. All wiping their foreheads as the Sun did not care for their uncomfortable plight. Just like those men and woman speaking that day. did not care for the trusting people in the crowd. ELECT ME... the sign facing the crowd stated as each took turns approaching the microphone.

They glanced out over the crowd, salivating at their supposed victories. They cared not for the people. They only cared about winning. Their single-minded focus aimed at underhanded ways and means to destroy the intelligent minds of their families, friends, and co-workers who dared speak the truth. The truth about the dire consequences that would unfold soon and visit its wrath upon everyone if not taken seriously.

How on Earth can any one of them, especially that one in the middle of the podium who obviously has underlying health problems, lead anyone else when he doesn't have enough sense to get out of my way while I'm woke, the Sun spoke loudly to himself.

The ones on the podium all danced to the same tune that the reason the Sun was out in extra full force that day was a coincidence. They laughed it off and called for extra hydration be distributed.

Shaking its head, the Sun thought, I wouldn't trust not one of them could lead me across the sky from morning to dusk. A leader makes responsible decision for its constituents.

Perhaps I'll just tune it up a notch, the Sun reasoned. Then they will fall helplessly to the floor of the podium gagging, unable to breath.

Oh, but wait. There's something wrong with this scenario. None of this will happen.

For not one of them believe they are the cause of my condition, and the consequences are happening in this season of change.

But the sad part about all this is that those people standing onstage have managed to convince the crowd that this significant, undeniable fact is NOT TRUE for the sake of winning.

Sobre ganar

Las cejas fruncidas del Sol indicaban que ese día no estaba de humor para bromas. Los patrones climáticos habían cambiado. Antes adecuadas para esa época del año, las circunstancias puestas en juego enfurecían la existencia misma de El Sol.

El hechizo estaba lanzado.

El aumento de la temperatura de la atmósfera terrestre no se hacía esperar. Había llegado. El aumento de los gases de dióxido de carbono era real.

Con la mirada fija en el escenario, el Sol subió el dial. El calor abrasador y severo pronosticado por los expertos de su mundo se produciría si no cesaban ciertas actividades.

No lo hicieron. Continuaron. Ese día, se reunieron para escuchar por qué debían continuar.

Fuera del escenario, el sol abrasador del mediodía martilleaba implacable a la multitud mientras algunos se acurrucaban en la pequeña zona ajardinada. Otros intentaban distanciarse. El Sol compadecía a aquellos pobres que ejercían la libertad de congregación. Al fin y al cabo, era su derecho, como proclamaban a menudo al cielo. Sus muñecas se balanceaban. Un cansancio les invadía mientras se abanicaban intermitentemente. Este respiro temporal entre brazadas habría sido risible de no haber sido una locura.

El Sol soplaba entre ellos brillantes bocanadas de calor mientras hablaban. Bebés llorando, niños irritables. Sedes incapaces de saciarse lo bastante rápido. Deseaban que aquellos oradores siguieran con sus ilustres mentiras empapadas de miel. Era mejor, se convencían, que escuchar la cruda y fea verdad.

En el escenario, los objetivos del Sol se pusieron de pie. Algunos se pavoneaban. Algunos fanfarroneaban. Otros lloriqueaban. Todos se limpiaban la frente porque al Sol no le importaba su incómoda situación. Igual que a los hombres y mujeres que hablaban ese día. no les importaba la gente confiada de la multitud. ELÉGAME... decía el cartel dirigido a la multitud mientras cada uno se acercaba por turnos al micrófono.

Miraron a la multitud, salivando ante sus supuestas victorias. No les importaba la gente. Sólo les importaba ganar. Su único objetivo era destruir las mentes inteligentes de sus familiares, amigos y compañeros de trabajo que se atrevían a decir la verdad. La verdad sobre las terribles consecuencias que pronto se desencadenarían y descargarían su ira sobre todos si no se tomaban en serio.

El Sol se dijo a sí mismo en voz alta: "¿Cómo puede uno de ellos, especialmente el que está en medio del podio, que obviamente tiene problemas de salud subyacentes, guiar a los demás si no tiene el suficiente sentido común para apartarse de mi camino mientras estoy despierto?

Todos los que estaban en el podio bailaron al mismo son que la razón por la que el Sol había salido con más fuerza ese día era una coincidencia. Se rieron y pidieron que se distribuyera hidratación extra.

Sacudiendo la cabeza, el Sol pensó: "No confiaría en que ninguno de ellos pudiera guiarme a través del cielo desde la mañana hasta el atardecer". Un líder toma decisiones responsables para sus electores.

Tal vez lo afine un poco más, razonó el Sol. Entonces caerán indefensos al suelo del podio con arcadas, incapaces de respirar.

Oh, pero espera. Hay algo que no cuadra en este escenario. Nada de esto ocurrirá.

Porque ninguno de ellos cree ser la causa de mi estado, y las consecuencias están sucediendo en esta época de cambios.

Pero lo triste de todo esto es que esas personas que están en el escenario han conseguido convencer a la multitud de que este hecho significativo e innegable NO ES CIERTO con tal de ganar.

Great and amazing story. Only that person succeeds in life who does not lose courage and continues to work even in spite of problems, then one day he will definitely be successful.

Hi @djbravo. I'm pleased you found my story interesting enough to read through. A strong will is what is required if a person decides to take it upon himself to tackle a difficult situation without seeking help. Perhaps he felt that he could not depend upon anyone else. He did find a a friend.

I truly hope his situation will resolve itself in a positive outcome. Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to read through. I appreciate your support.

Take care.
