Oh my, Janaka. Firstly, I have an unfinished fiction story I started last year about Adam, who walks away from work that is not feeding his soul. You inspire me here to go back and finish it.
I like your story, but I am saddened by the ending. Finally Adam takes his place at the end of the line? :( Perhaps though, it's the perfect ending, because if people see the first man being the last man to give in to the system's "formula for life", it is the inspiration for them to stand up and say, "No way, NOT Adam too!" I notice it is often easier for people to become indignant for others than it is for themselves. When Adam becomes the underdog, well... It does not bode well for humanity, does it?
Thank you for mentioning Humanity's Future at the end of your story. I'm trying to hold the line outside the line. :)
And, your students are very lucky to have a teacher such as you.
Your Adam sounds very similar. Fascinating. Like many fables, the ending is a warning and an example of what not to do. Humanity provides so many examples like that! Thanks for reading.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Always overwhelmed by your gorgeous art and profound insights!
Thank you so much, Nora.
