Shocked to Death

When I was a little kid, my mother always told me not to put my fingers in or close to electric plugs. She also told me that if I did, I would die... a way of making sure that I would not do that.

Well, one day I got a small shock when plugging something and I went running through the flat crying. My mother was obviously worried and picked me up.

"What happened? What happened?"- she said.

"I'm going to die. I'm going to die."

"But what happened?"

"Mom. I got a shock from the plug."

She smiled and I knew it was all going to be ok. Just like that, I knew it.

I guess that's what life is all about: moments of unrest and then in a split of a second... everything is ok. Finally, peace.
