THE SHIP
 

We find in this ship a very special captain and crew who had hard faces to interpret. The captain seemed to have a great sorrow and one of the men visiting the ship, asked him,
" Sir, I would like to travel, would you let me sail in your ship?"

But the captain said, " No, you don't have a place here, besides, you don't know where the ship is headed." And the man insisted, " It doesn't matter Sir, I need to work , I truly don't care where it is headed, I will adapt myself, let me go with you, I like the adventure, I work very hard and will be useful, you will not regret it."

But the captain answered, " Do not insist, my decision is taken, we will not admit anybody else." And without saying another word, he left.

Many days went by and the ship which was very big, went to the sea filled with supplies and also carrying the man -who had asked the captain, hiding as stowaway.

He was hidden in the hold of the ship and was thinking, "What's the reason that I can't sail, who's going to stop me now?" And he stayed many days eating here and there since there was a lot of food. But after the seventh day, he was found, tied and taken to the captain, who told him:

 " You have a rebellious and stubborn spirit, and you condemned yourself to our same destiny." And the stowaway asked, " Why am I condemned, are you going to kill me?"

"No, but see that here, there is most everything but the main thing is lacking, if you watch carefully, you will realize that there is no rudder." said the captain.

The stowaway, now feeling a lot of fear, asked, " Who's leading the ship?" And they said, "Nobody is, it is taken by the sea." At this point, the stowaway was really frightened and requested an explanation. And the captain looking at him, laughed and said, " I told you that you didn't have a place here."

"Then, what is its destiny, what port or city is going to?" said the man.

"This ship is not going anywhere, it will be lost in the sea. And, no, we will not kill you, since dying will be good for you but what's worse for you is that now you will be as one of us." said the captain.

"What will happen? Is there a mystery? Where is this ship going? I implore to have an answer at once." said the man.

" Now you will be guided and untied, because  there is no purpose, we are in the middle of the sea. Where can you go? There is no escape. Then the crew took him to the main cabin and said, " Take a look. What do you see?"

"I see that everything seems to be right, there is plenty." he said.

And the crew said: " All the men here, don't have neither goals nor illusions to live since we have suppressed them all. And we can't go on like this, so we have put our lives in the hands of the sea because we don't have a destiny."

" How is this possible? Who are you? Why are you all like that?" asked the man.

Then, the captain got all the crew together and told the man, "I will explain everything in one word and you will understand the meaning of the torment, of the silence, the reason that we don't have dreams, neither destiny, nor path. You will understand with this one word, this damned curse."

And they took him to a large room, very special and decorated and there was a word with, fire, blood, sea, sand, foam. A word that said everything, that sealed everything, about which would be their destiny since they had no  destiny in the middle of the sea, where there was no place for dreams, neither for illusions that will not become true, like that ship which would not reach any port because without direction there is no destiny and that would be its final destiny.

And the stowaway read with great horror and in that moment, he understood what the captain and the crew had inside and he felt a great sorrow and fear since he understood that he had no destiny and he realized very clearly that those men had no other path. And what is that word? Shyness.
