Insomnia

After the ups and downs of daily life, finally, it was time to go to bed.

"It was an ordinary day, problems here, problems there," he thought as he was getting ready to go to sleep.

That day had been one of the busiest since he started working for a marketing company doing surveys. He had to drive several miles around the city in order to perform some interviews. He was tired, but the idea of getting home and have a restful night, kept him motivated during the journey back home.

Finally! John was at home. The wearisome day was a thing of the past. He took a shower and drink and ate some of his favorite food. It was a little over eight o’clock at night. John heard evening news.

"The weather, crime and economics," John thought.

He took a little nap, forgetting to turn off the TV. When he regained consciousness, it was past ten o’clock. John headed to the bedroom and threw himself over the bed.

He had time to ponder about some important issues of existence.

"What am I doing here?" "What is there after life?" "Why do human beings have to procreate if life can sometimes turn miserable?" these were some of the questions for which John wanted to find some answers.

With this questions in mind and an intense desire to obtain the answers. John grabbed the wooden guitar that he kept hung on the wall and started strumming some chords.

It was a little before dawn, when John laid back over the bed thinking.

" I did not obtained any answers to my questions in life, but the guitar session was productive "

The answers to everyone´s questions were not answered, during the night, But the activity that kept him with his eyes open throughout taught him that one can overcome the ups and downs in life by doing those things that are fun.
