    About this ebook

    New York life stories: Gritty. Failed Expectations. Hope. Misery. Death and Love. Here, inside this book, is an assortment of stories featuring characters you will not soon forget. New York is the greatest city on the east coast, and the host for a populous who seek opportunities. On High Street, you will meet souls who are lost, whose lives represent hope, yet are met with failed expectations that shape their existence. When the characters meet on High Street, their lives will mesh as one, and it is realized that these stories reflect the bitter truth about life: it's all an uphill battle, yet humanity perservers. This is the season of life.

      GUIDO

      Psychiatrists define manias in the characteristics within the human temperament as rarities or disordered conducts. Such eerie features conform essence. Those peculiar elements of the personality of humans might be the consequences of the search of the heights as refuge from the mundane deeds of the world, and certainly, from the lowest conditions of Life.

      A soul being close to the Gods might be a soul who is leading a magnificent existence. Within every chamber of the brain, this arises the conception of being the elect. (That was the concept of our man whom had not lived a bedazzling life, because he was in the small town of Giazza, which is spectacularly located on the Monti Lessini plateu.)

      That reasoning is worthless of any scientific appreciation, and when considering emotions, it was lacking in sense, or what philosophers have denominated as Logic. Such abstraction is the consequence of the improbability of liberating oneself from the meanness of one's soul. Logic becomes a shadow that hunts and wars against the mind without any success, owing to the bare truth that man does not perceive neither acknowledge it. His ratiocination attempts to conceal it with reasons and whys, or even worse, sometimes puts the vestments of justifications upon his wretchedness.

      Even though all God's creatures are utterly aware of what has marred their lives and even are aware of their own ill deeds, human nature obstinately attempts to beguile it. It is just such a master act of delude that man is not embarrassed to behold his Creator eyes as though The Supreme had no account of his life. Man's presumption of his ability for beguiling God can be attributed to his insane ambition of surpassing Him. But, it could also be elucidated that such a curious idea, whose justification lingers upon the exercise of the don of tracing the lines of the picture of his fate, is the consequence of believing that The Gods are irrelevant in his deeds. He owns himself and his word can be regarded as Truth.

      The Supreme, beholding his marvellous creation of the human, returns to His reign where the cup of Felicity will be laid on the table of the feast, which is eternal Life. He has paved the path with Temptations, to trial the mettle of his creatures. The Creator bedecked The Eden with the most precious fruit, so that man attempted to reach it. And this was Ambition.

      Although Zeal can be considered a negative aspect in existence, in fact it is the acid text of obedience for God, and man has psychologically regarded it as the element through which might satisfy his soul. From a philosophically point of view, based on Life analyses, it as man's calamities. Not an incredible number of souls have squandered the mirth of days pursuing unreachable aims. Who during that merciless struggle, upon the arena of the amphitheatre—which represents the world—has not tarnished the ideals that holds his being as an entity marring his existence, and therefore daunting his soul? When the secret of Life has been destined, at least for a fortunate one, is the resignation to one's loot.

      Those considerations were never discerned by Guido, who had no reason to mull about them, as he was a delighted lad amidst the splendorous colourful wealth of greenness of the fields that surrounded the village. It was such a spectacle of Nature, carved by The Supreme. At that time, the simple things in Life were so rich of beauteous things, for man was created.

      Since sloth lingered in those days, there was no haste as existence unfolded its precious mantle of emotions undisturbed by the ravenous hunger to be nourished by ambitions. Ambitions are usually far away from the hope of ever realizing them.

      (What he had he yielded for, then! Nothing. If there had been the opportunity to set the clock backwards, he would have lived his time anew, and perhaps, would have changed everything about himself. Nevertheless, the past cannot be modified and our recent good resolutions are not mechanism to alter it, so that now and then the most important is the future, and the way it is moulded by oneself.)

      Giazza had such an impressive comeliness that its Alpine appearance was enchanting and that was such a distinctive attribute for the town. As he sauntered beholding the picturesque hamlets, a gratification was bestowed by the innocence seen when the children's countenance wandered in the surroundings. From time to time, he thought of his own childhood, but the most astounding thing was when those blue eyes that welled up with tenderness in the face of a lad, who peacefully waited until some fish were allured by his bait. What a lovely scene! Purity
