Sad Chair

We have encountered several astonishment incidents before. Nothing is more saddening than to have an invitation revoked for that invitee when he is not allowed to attend the ceremony or gathering already planned. The ceremony is not the end for them to have a meeting to say goodbye or something but it is more on the inclusiveness of the invitee to the function itself. Newspapers always have good journalists to write down news like that, but the language flow does not fit in with the chair in which the person is supposed to be sitting.  

And nobody cares whether the chair is so nicely decorated or painted with striking colours (colors) or embedded with fresh flowers; the perspective of which deems the whole landscape of the painting. Good artists always sketch the best moments. Unfortunately, that particular chair is not there for anybody to sit. So what is so sad about it?

I give you a scenario where nothing is about to be taken as slander or to tarnish anybody's reputation or whatever, it is just a scenario to depict how sad the chair is. In Parliaments the chairs are so much valuable when the voters in majority choose their particular representatives to sit theron. And this sad chair is not like uncontested chair or slim majority won chair or clean sweep of majority to that effect. Perhaps one person can understand this very much.

I read an article about one person who was not comfortable to share his story to even his closest friends. He wrote things he wanted to write and only the person who understood him shall depict the gists of his story. He gave me permission to read it, and I didn't seem to take it as I understood him, but he seemed to be so much connected to the chair. Perhaps, nowadays people do not read much except for journalists or people who are taking examinations. Even people in the Banks do not read much except on matters pertaining to their survival, indeed. 

The summary of the story is like this:

A man has been invited to a wedding ceremony. His close friends were asking him to accompany them by word of mouth to that wedding. Obviously the wedding ceremony must have a few weeks' invitation period for people to attend. However, the man just followed his friends without asking who was actually the bride and bridegroom. It was just a son or daughter to one of his friend's friends.

The day came for the ceremony, and off they went. Upon entering the extravagant wedding hall, the man was so shocked to see that it was his daughter who was the bride sitting on the dais. Of course, all invited guests were allocated special seats in different tables to connote their status. That man whose daughter was on the dais failed to see his chair. All other chairs were not meant to be called chairs in his eyes now. How could he disguise what was in his eyes. 

Tears fell down like rain. The man never cried in his entire life before. He cried because he was now a guest in his own daughter's wedding. He could not take a sit or even sit in. He just could not faint just like that. He was momentarily disconnected with all chairs in his surrounding. It was supposed to be a nice day celebrating wedding party, was it not? But not to that poor man. He was so rich in the eye of society. How he became so poor, then? 

***

When you are invited to attend a function, a chair is reserved for you. Suddenly, you are disregarded as invitee to that event. To calm yourself, you will just sit down in your favourite chair. That is your own chair. The chair that will never make you cry. 

Thank you for your time, indeed.
