The guy was on a prowl for a girlfriend. He approached many girls and did everything he could to WIN them. He failed miserably.
With one girl, he brought flowers. With another girl, he brought her gifts. Yet, with another girl he brought her candy.
In conversations, he would be agreeable to everything she said. In matters of planning, he would reschedule anything and everything on her whim. The women would become his sun with his entire life merely orbiting them.
But the poor guy kept crashing and burning.
“It is because they don’t know how good you are,” older women and friends said.
Yet, the guy noticed a pattern in his crash and burns. “The only constant is I. What if it is something I keep doing?”
He stayed the same. Unsurprisingly, he crashed and burned more. Eventually, something in him snapped. “No more!” he said. “Why am I acting like a beggar? I am smart, handsome, have a future, and women ought to work to get me!”
So, thus stopped the flowers, gifts, and candy- the agreeableness, rescheduling, and revolving around her whims.
“No more pedestals!” he declared, for…
“You are the Great Catch.”
“Yes!” says the Pook. “YOU are the prize to be won.”
The young man jumped up and down with joy. “Goody! That means I get to be passive, to continue to indulge in my vaporous habits, and not do a thing to alter myself! I like to hear that because it means I am perfect as I am and ought not change for anyone!”
Pook slapped him. “Foolish youth! If you are not changed by life, then you are not living life! Only those who are not altered by life are those totally unaware of it!”
But the young man was stubborn. “I” he said with a moral tone, “will not change for anyone.”
“What about for yourself?”
“I like myself the way I am!”
“All right! Enough!”
The young man was startled. He had never seen Pook angry. “I am what I am!” he persisted.
Pook summoned two young men. Each stood in a corner.
Pook then said, “Before us are two youths who are on the threshold of life. Both have the same origins. Yet, the destinations are different. Let us look at the first one.”
What was witnessed was that young man growing up. If he got a bump on his head, he would cry to his mother.. He felt safety and comfort in his mother. With his father, he felt an uncertain fear.
Now the second young man’s childhood came into view. His life was exactly the same!
The first young man never broke free from the enticing womb-like feeling around his mother. He sought to replicate it over and over.
He didn’t know what he wanted to do in life so he did what everyone around him did.
He eventually found a girl, chose the first one that actually liked him (or tolerated him, he couldn’t know) and married.
Alas! The marriage lasted only a few years until divorce came.
He dies forgotten and irrelevant.
Now for the second young man.This young man quickly realized that childhood was over. Rather than looking towards forever replicating that sense of summer vacation of escapefulness, he launched himself at reality.
“I will not live my life as a nothing!” he declared.
He got to PICK what woman he wanted.
He got to PICK what career he wanted.
He got to PICK his destiny.
“The difference is simple,” said the Pook.
The first young man is facing TOWARDS infancy. The second young man is facing AWAY from infancy.
The first one wishes to climb back into the womb; the second one wants to fly from it.
The first wishes a cushioned place in the world while the second one leaves the cushions behind.
Thus, the second one becomes the Great Catch while the first one merely becomes a filler of a void.
