By Andrés Rengifo (3rd semester Economics
student, level 4 English)
On a cloudy day like any other, a man
lies tired after a calamitous work day where now his only wish is to reach his
sweet home to rest peacefully. The man walks on the sidewalks of the city
carefree and immersed in his insatiable thoughts, accompanied by the chaotic
sounds of the cars and an immense crowd that together create a cold and dark
environment that brings with it the spiritual desolation of each man.
As time passes a small drop of water
falls onto the dry pavement. It is the arrival of rain. A feeling of freshness
and tranquillity floods the city, as people run hastily to avoid getting wet but
the man without any concern walks slower, trying to think that the rain will only
get his clothes wet anyway, forgetting that the rain will also make his skin wet.
Given his level of unconsciousness though, he has forgotten the pleasure of
feeling the rain touching his skin and it makes him feel closer and closer to
nature, reflecting at last on the loss of sensitivity of a man who once enjoyed
getting wet in the rain.
