A brilliant Mind's, Very- Short Story

A very short story, with a very big point.

A brilliant mind was once condemned to die, by its very own master. It cried, "But why do you deem me to die?"

The master replied..."I've been told not to use you as also told what to think."

The mind cried, "But I've wisdom untold of a world brave and bold, do you still not want me?"

The master walked away with not even a thought...as he'd gave that ability away.

Author's Note

I have seen the wondrous minds of men be tossed to the way side, simply to follow another’s thoughts on a matter. Rather it is; religion, morals or how we should do what we do. This breaks my heart in two. Where are the free thinkers that carry the dreams of what may just change our tomorrow?
I for one have always followed my soul it’s been around far longer than me.

Oh wow what a write you have written here. You are right too with " A very short story, with a very big point". I love all of the true meaning in this with thoughts, freethinking, freedom, and life. This write hold so much truth, sadness too. The mind is a lovely gift. I love your inspiration for this as spoken of in your author's note, such a great inspiration for this small story. I really enjoyed reading this powerful write, indeed it makes a impact in the small space you wrote it in. Really nice.

for the truth of this story all you have to look at is the political arena. most there have sold their consciences long ago to the highest bidder. our best and brightest are owned by the richest and most ruthless.

Such sentiments are echoed deep within the depths of my being, frequently etched upon the stones of my memories...
you put down such thoughts, here...so nicely.

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

Thank you,I am humbled by your review. I only placed the the thoughts we all have...just sometimes forget to think them. Best part we are still thinking;)

So true Melody. When we quit thinking for ourselves and let others do it for us, well, who are we then to complain? Nicely done...

This is a solid statement, it seems, on the way of the world today. Very well done.

A sad truth it is. What wonders we enjoy today; electricity, medicine, music...all created by free thinkers that didn't rest on others thoughts. What will be in our tomorrows?
