An Unusual Inheritance
Inheritance is a peculiar thing. It is an explicit expression of one’s own mortality. Conversely, it is also a means to impact those still living even after death. There were once two brothers, Edison and Elias. The first brother was deeply moved by the beauty of life, while Elias felt drawn to the less esoteric and found comfort in money. Both brothers disapproved of the others life, however the more sentimental of the two, Edison, had a secret. He knew that for as much as he loved this life and the incredible things he had experienced, that journey seemed to be coming to an end. Instead of being mournful of this loss, he decided to use it as an opportunity to reconnect with his brother, even if this reunion were to come after his impending departure. Edison bought a little black book, plain in appearance, and began to write in it. He began to fill it with tickets to all the places where he found the most happiness. The day finally came for Edison, as it eventually comes for us all.
