The Hanging CEO- the 8th Gift & Curse

The video shows an entrepreneur genius kid studying or running through the woods working himself to death. He or she is called weird, autistic, psychotic, schizophrenic, or demented. A physical human being pushing mortal men over the edge. A being from any ethnicity alone in a room masterminding a perception of his or her reality. Scarred from the labor, stressed that their masterpiece will never be discovered. Hated and loved all just for having a dream. If their empire falls, there is no safety net. There is nothing to hold on to. Their tax bracket, if they reach the highest level, is filled with lawyers, bankers, and people with power. Their contracts span across the globe and one false move could wipe out a billion people. A number of their shareholders don’t pray because a number of them live by the mighty dollar. They sit on the top floor hearing voices from the positive and negative forces every day. A simple day is filled with phone calls and a chessboard with them as the king or queen. Sadly, the room goes dark, the net worth ticks on the stock exchange. Reports cross the screen of a CEO found alone in his huge mansion room dangling from the ceiling. Searching for a feeling, he’d blessed so many lives, but sadly, they left him alone searching for his heart. Alone in the night hoping to hear the same voice that lead him into fame and fortune, the room is silent, and the negative force enters and convinces him of a way out. 

“This rope will be easy, wrap it around your neck and let go until the blood is drained from your brain, then snap, everything goes dark. It’s that easy,” the negative force explains. 

If you’re reading this piece and you’ve made it to this point, then let me explain its purpose. As a child my English teacher told me something about writing. I was told about the meaning of optimism. It’s a positive way of looking at the world. Optimism is priceless. It’s the power of the mind. You can perceive your environment anyway you please. You can see humor in your fabric of time or you can perceive everything around you as a curse. Pessimistically falling to sleep at the wheel in the midst of running away from troubles. I also used to love books that gave me a choice in the end so let’s go to the 8th page of this story which is the gift of choice. We can endure or take the easy way out. I say when you reach the climax in your life and you’re shaking from a body that’s beat down and broken, endure. The top is the peak of the mountain and to fall teaches you one lesson and that is your will to never give up. To die a thousand times only to look down and see that same child that you used to be trying to write a masterpiece to save the world. As the CEO dangled from the ceiling as the demented forces pulled him under, he’s saved by the only person who checked on him. A complete stranger who he forgot he gave a key. While feeling a table hit his feet, his head pops away from the noose. Ironically, he lays in the arms of a poor stranger who gave him the most amazing gift of all. She gave him friendship, she checked on him and took nothing in return. I’m an optimist, so thanks to my English teacher there’s hope. I chose a happy ending, I perceived life as a gift not a curse for once.
