Do I still need a TOMORROW?


People always tell me that I need to treat others well before they are gone. I am not so sure that this could be applied to me.

My name is Easy Ostan. I was born in Tennessee. Today, I think I have a lot of freedom to think, to talk, and to demonstrate. My life these days is quite different from my life in one of those days.


In fact, I am a normal guy who lives in the small town and there are only two people in my house. Because I have been a good student, I, later, further my education in a big city and move to Oregon, but I don't stay there for a long time. Meaning, I come back home back and forth until I today graduate and receive a marvelous doctorate in Psychology. Moreover, I have made a lot money each month and now I can prove this to him that I am very all right. A month ago, I buy him a house and tell him that I really love and care about him as well. Unfortunately, we often argue with each other about every thing and I mean every thing. Indeed, there are so many times that I want to run away from the place I live. Through serious bonds and great love, he and I can almost achieve a success in our lives. I am definitely certain to say that he loves me dearly, yet it is not enough--love. When people stay together and expect themselves to be happy, it is not because of only affection would bring happiness to their lives but understanding is another factor that could lengthen their stay more happily. He thinks I need to create great visions of becoming a businessman in spite of knowing that I am not fond of business. He is seriously worried that there will be lots of unfriendly strangers around me so I must avoid some of the common pitfalls. Sadly, his worries are actually very beneficial to me; he might forget one more thing that being far more worried would not do anything good; on the contrary, all these worries could torture my life even though I have realized all the time that everything comes from love. I do not mean that I never believe what he has given me--great tips or advice; however, I just would like to tell him just once that he should learn how to trust me.


Now that I really do not have him with me for good--I have come to the moment of truth--do we only care about someone else and how about the others: do they care about us as well?


I would say that I have been good since I remembered, truly! Last night, I talk to him not to worry about me and I tell him, 'I always wear my heart on my sleeve. I don't need to lie to you and you know that I always love you.' I take a pause and then I say, 'You don't need to worry about your son anymore, dad, because right now I am as happy as Larry,' I am speaking beside him in his deep sleep.
