DISEASES OF THE SOUL GALLERY

AMBITION

This person was well known as the most ambitious of the world. And the day came when he decided that he was going to find the most secret and forbidden ambition. For this purpose, he commanded a group of specialists and learned people, who said that the secret was found in the highest and whitest mountain in the Himalayas. And this ambitious person thought: " When I have that secret in my hands, I will be the most powerful and richest man because I will sell part but not all the secret and in this way, I will always have the power and the people must come to me and I will rule." He started the journey and after some time, he reached the outskirts of the mountain and he found the guardians of the treasure, who warned him: " You cannot go on, because this mountain keeps secrets that you will not be able to understand."
 

And they not allowed him to enter. But the man thought: " These people want to prevent my great thirst of ambition, they want to stop my goals, my dreams, but they will not succeed."  So, what he did was to nod his head, but he was being false since he left to wait for the darkness of the night and he hired some assassins who killed the guardians and he continued in the search of the treasure; and as much as he kept ascending the mountain, he would find treasures of unimaginable worth since all the jewels that can be imagined, are nothing compared to those treasures.

He kept ascending while gathering lots of the purest objects made of gold and of great worth; until he reached the top of the mountain and he was very surprised to find a group of men and women, who asked him: " Who are you?" And he answered: " I come to claim the treasure."
They said:
   " We also arrived here and gathered great treasures but then we noticed that we cannot hear any sound, not even the wind and we are very afraid."  When the night arrived, the ambitious one thought: " These persons are trying to take my treasures and I will not allow it, I am not going to share my treasures." And once more, he hid himself in the darkness of the night and killed them while getting all the fortune that these persons had gathered. And finally, when he was almost reaching the top of the mountain, he distinguished a door made out of gold, silver, pearls, emeralds and which had a big sign on top, that said: " Warning, warning. The one who finds the treasure. It will make that man a great wise man. To open this door and to take the most worthy riches, everything must be left behind, you must enter naked, you cannot bring anything."
 

 And the man thought: " This is a trap, for sure, because somebody wants to rob me, if I leave my accumulated treasures, somebody can come and take them away, so I will not pay attention to this warning." He then, opened the door and found an unimaginable room, full of treasures, so many that he could have ever conceived.  But to his great surprise, he found a man who said: " I am the guardian of this room and you cannot pass, you have not paid attention to the warning, you had to leave everything behind to be able to pass. Get away!" But the ambitious person got very angry and answered: " You want all the treasure for you." And he jumped over the guard with great fury and taking a heavy gold object, he hit the guard until killing him. Then, with the hands full of blood, and with  the eyes bursting, he saw a great fortune.
 

There was a lot of gold in the place but he did not noticed that part of the mountain was also the most fragile. Without thinking, he took a first step, the mountain broke and the man fell from the top. As he was falling, he realized that he was about to die, but he was laughing while thinking, " It is much better this way, I am taking all my treasure and after I am dead, nobody can take it from me." And when he hit the ground,  Death appeared and said:  " That great treasure, truly, does not have any worth, I am the secret of life. I am Death and I close and open the book. Even the greatest power will die. And you, because of your great ambition, you have come and I did not have to look for you."

After listening to these words,
he died and his blood, bones and flesh, joined the gold and he fell with all that treasure as if the earth was eating him up, but it simply was his ambition who killed him.
