JOURNEY WITHIN Transformation of a village from An Enquirer and a Wanderer

They belong to a far village in the southern part of the region. They are very closest buddies from childhood. James is a wanderer with an Enquirer mind whereas his friend David is just a Wanderer who enjoys beauty. Both started their Journey from the southern part of the Country to the farthest north for the first time.

Both were excited as they had never seen snow-clad mountains – as they were from tropical regions. Both have heard many things about the North from childhood. Though both James and David, have heard many fables about the North from their childhood, David always dreamt about going to the North to enjoy the beauty; whereas James always wanted to meet the wisest noblemen and saints of the North from childhood. This travel allowed them to enjoy their childhood dreams. Both explored the North to their fullest and went back to their home which is far south.

Their village people were so excited to see both James and David after a long time and they flocked towards them to hear about their Journey. Both were telling their travel/ exploration stories for some time and went to their respective homes. A couple of their childhood friends John and Mark came to meet both in their usual meeting place – near a stream. They saw that both of their friends (i.e. James' and David’s) faces were gleaming with love and Peace. Both John and Mark thought that it must be because they had come back to their hometown after a long time. So, they didn’t bother about it and just asked about their travel stories.

A couple of months passed by, then one evening, John and Mark were looking disturbed not happy with themselves as well as their lives.
