I want to be as the River...

I want to be as the river, free, happy, smiling, without chains, unbiased, but nobody seems to understand, that life is a strict system to control and judge. That is why, I am crazy, and I laugh when the others cry, when they cry wanting to reach fame and glory, that my mind cannot understand. I enjoy the flight of the bird but people want to put it in a cage. I want the animals free in the forest, but all the others want to put it in a cage. I am mad because I live in a world that is too different and insolent, they all think that they are gods, while I don't think that I am special. I want to live in a house without doors and windows but people want doors and windows hard and heavy so nobody can enter or leave.
They cry their dead, while I am happy because they left and their souls are free, they fly by the sky, but people cannot see or understand this. Who am I? I am nobody, but they are the masters of the world, they are sane and enraptured with something that I will never understand. I am mad and I will stay like this.

The Richest Man

This question was presented to the man called the Madman:

"Who is the richest man?"and he said: "The man who shares his wealth."

And he was told: "You are completely mad. If you share your wealth, you will lose it sooner or later and then you will be left with no wealth to share."

And the Madman answered: "All that we share, has the virtue of never coming to an end since to share is to give our best. One day it may be part of a kingdom, another day, may be advise, another day may be our time. There are so many things to share that they have beginning but never have end."

And he was told: "You speak nonsense."And the Madman said: "What seems nonsense to you, for me is simply to share a little of me."
