Maddy built a sand castle and it was washed away.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first friend was sad about the sand castle for Maddy, and said: better to not build the sand castle and risk further sorrow.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The second friend said this was good, because Maddy saw adversity and built the castle anyway.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The third said this was good because Maddy was able to acknowledge the castle and let it pass.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A fourth said: better to have never built the castle. The sand is itself, the wave is itself, and Maddy remains.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The fifth was helping build a bigger, better sand castle.

|
<!-- The first is naive and confuses the sand castle for the work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The second mistakes the struggle against the wave as a struggle against a greater idea.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The third sees too much Maddy in the equation. She is not bettering herself though adversity, she is building sand castles.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The fourth sees a truth, but forgets that truth is not static
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The fifth does the work. -->
