Once there was a Guy Called R who never used to believe in eternal peace and divine existence of God. Staying firm in his thoughts, he used to see this world with a materialistic eye. His world consisted of all sorts of gadgets, playbooks, and stuff which he needed to make himself satisfied and happy. He was going great until he met someone very different. That different soul was very surprisingly a down-to-earth simple guy called S. They argued about God and R questioned his existence as expected. S did not try to prove the presence of God but tried to paint a picture in R's mind by asking him to think with a broad mindset and told him that R lacked the power to perceive a situation from all the directions before negating it.

Still unsatisfied with S's words, R searched for an answer on the Internet and his much loved gadgets for one whole day. Swimming through the whole lot of articles and videos, he still could not find those words which could show him what or who God is. He decided to take a walk. He left everything behind at home but his keys. Walking on the road, he came across a little kid who was pointing towards the sky. A little curve of joy filled his face as he moved on. Thinking and walking for hours, he came to a part of the River where he had never been to. R was mesmerized. Was this the beauty of the heaven? Silent breeze brushed him and the chilly roars swished his inside as he took a deep breath and smiled with profound satisfaction. He spent the whole evening pondering upon his life, his decisions and refreshing his memories.
Going back he realized that he does not know whether God exists or not, and that he might never get to know. But what he knows is that there is nothing more important than inner satisfaction and the feeling of internal joy. Feeling goosebumps inside, he thanked God believing that if there is one, he would know that there has been a realization. He came back home running.
R thinks that S argued with him for a reason. Something which S might have sensed. Maybe a commotion? R feels blessed to have met S through his path. He wishes to see him again sometime. To make an argument once again maybe.
