The Magical Fruit

The fruit that all man come to desire, the one that will cure them from all their troubles, the lotus-plant. “ Ulysses sent three of his men to discover who the inhabitants were. These men on coming among the Lotus-eaters were kindly entertained by them, and were given some of their own food, the lotus-plant, to eat. The effect of this food was such that those who partook of it lost all thoughts of home and wished to remain in that country.” [P2] People always run away from their problems may be it taking a vacation, using Facebook, doing exercise or whatever they find distracted. What people never take into consideration is that their problems, will built up and become more of a hassle; Ulysses men found the lotus-plant and their memory was erase, that’s what all people look for. When facing their responsibilities, people always look for a way to take it off their minds to make it disappear, this is terrible, it shows the lack of capacity we have of being in charge of the world like we think we are.
