Proud to be different!!

Note: This post is dedicated to all the people who ask why I am question box..:P. and to all people who ask, why I am different, to all people who ask me why don't I just relax and live till I die like everyone else. I am creating my own story here and I must agree sometimes grammar feels like a restriction to me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where are we going? asked he
That's stupid question,we just keep on moving till we die, replied the Captain goat.
Why are we moving, in the first place? asked he again
Because this is what our fathers and their fathers did! replied the captain goat controlling his anger.
Why can't we change our direction? asked he
Will you just stop being a question box? snapped captain.
No one seems to be bothered to answer my questions, murmured he within himself.
He understood that he has to find his own answers.
Determined he changed the direction of his movement,
now he is moving against everyone.
You are insulting our elders and our belief systems, shouted angry elders
Why don't you just relax and enjoy your life? teased his friends
We are not allowed even to talk to you, said the youngsters.
But he never stopped.
He started questioning anyone he encountered on his way.
This time he don't want answers,
he wanted to make them think.
For long he is alone.
For long he is a misfit.
Years passed, He grew old, but
He never stopped questioning, never stopped trying.
Few joined him.
Slowly slowly
The herd of goats started moving in a new direction.
This time...
it's not a belief system that guides them..
they are not doing something because everyone did it before.
This time...
they are guided by pure purpose.
Everyone became joyful.
He, the first goat knew within himself
that his job is done.
Never he asked any question in his life after that..
Never he even talked after that......
He died and remembered by everyone as a Legend.
years passed.....generations passed....

A young goat was different.
Where are we going? asked he.
That's stupid question,we just keep on moving till we die, replied the Captain goat.
Why are we moving, in the first place? asked he again
Because this is what our fathers and their fathers did! replied the captain goat controlling his anger.
Why can't we change our direction? asked he
Will you just stop being a question box? snapped captain.


P.S : This story is dedicated to all people who challenged the existing beliefs, who had courage to take the road less traveled and whose existence has always been a celebration to the planet earth.

In one line, this story is dedicated to all the people over there who are "DIFFERENT" in any way.
