The Wisdom of the Madman

It happened in the town of the man called the Madman, that this given day, he was acting in a very absurd way. He was all dirty, painted all over with paint of different colors and a green helmet. He was also carrying a rifle and jumping up and down, pretending that he was shooting everybody. While he would laugh and cry at the same time.And many persons said: " Listen what are you doing? What game are you playing? Or are you already crazy?"He kept on jumping for a while just as if he was in the middle of a combat, but then, he came in front of the people and said: " It is true that I am playing and I am having a great time."What game are you playing? they said.
He, then, put a somber face, looked down and with a faltering voice while turning around, and almost like groaning, said: " I play, I play, I play like crazy trying to find world Peace." And he went away. People did not understand and said: " He is completely crazy."
