the treasure and the map

again.. me and my thoughts..

was juz running thru my mind.. when you've got some treasure somewhere.. it's so precious to you then you hid it well.. and had your map to remind and teach you how the find the treasure.. but.. maybe.. just maybe.. you might realise.. there're some focusing errors..

maybe.. you're thinking of protecting the map.. cos you believe anyone who find the map.. will find "your" treasure through your prescribed route.. so you end up thinking of keeping and hiding the map..

then one day.. when you want to retrieve the treasure.. you follow the route in your map.. you reach the famliar place.. where you kept the treasure.. but.. it's gone.. why so??

well.. you're so engrossed by the map.. you didn't realise.. that some other.. could find an alternative route didn't you? by then.. when you finally remembered that it's the treasure that matters.. it had been taken by someone who found it by another route.. your map has become worthless.. no matter how many times you re-walk the same route.. the treasure's long gone..
