Although his complexion was olive, he drew his own image and painted it 20% red, 11% red and 69% red. He chewed on a matchstick and kept a red dynamite stick in his pocket. They called him "little trouble."
The more he read, the more he became convinced that earth was not flat or global. Earth was nothing but red in his mind and no one could take that from him. They called him "big trouble." He had a 100% red vision until...
...he obtained a prestigious degree that added a fancy title to his name. They called him "professor."
After 12 years, he was seen with his wife and kids waiting in a long queue to enter Disneyland. One of his kids wondered if all the other kids in the long queue would be able to enter. Professor and his family were last seen entering Disenyland.
Outside, another kid lining-up in the queue took a matchstick out of his mouth and said "we can't all get in Disneyland. It's a flat land and we're falling behind. "He was fetching something red from his pocket.
That day, no one left Disenyland. Nothing was left from Disenyland.

reading that made me feel stupid :/

If you didn't get it, its because you were thinking too much.
two ways about this little post of yours;
1- either this little anecdote has a true and deep hidden meaning, if not more than one, symbolizing a dilemma from our modern times... OR
2- its totally superficial and took you 2 minutes to think it up, write it, and post
Ammaro
It takes an insightful & carful reader with sharp mind to figure out if that post is fake or for real.
From your description of the first "way", I can tell that you have what it takes. Trust your intelligence.
Great comment. Thanks for stopping by.
Ah huh, Now I get it :)
noufa
What did you get?
I don't get it!
blue ice envy
Why don't you get it?!
Nothing, wasn't that the point? :D
if not I give up :/
Noufa
You gave up already.
I just don't!
Blue Ice
You just don't want to.
"LOL it's silly and too transparent... He was a socialist of sorts,
hence the red. Or if not a socialist commie then some other ideology
with red as its symbolic colour until you graduated and had to face
the real world... Disneyland is a metaphor for the average world and
its consumerism and the pursuit of things that aren't real or the
pursuit of the cartoon that everyone has in mind which is the perfect
life... Well he thinks its creative perhaps :P... Well he thinks its
creative perhaps :P... It wouldn't surprise me,.. its like a 16year
old writing... meh :P... Its pretentious :P... He could have said all
that more honestly and with less pointless metaphors..." Simon Said
Oh and you misspelled DISNEYLAND!
I actually enjoyed reading this. And I think I do see the symbolism in it. But I think you have it in you to put more effort in your writing. Like ending something with "..." for example or spelling mistakes which i think I've seen you make before, etc. You're sharp as a knife, don't waste that on laziness.

Your friend Simon only got the obvious ones "Red Ideology & Disneyland"
What about the shapes presented? what about the "long queue"? And What about the kid who appears at last? Who is he? Why's Disneyland flat?
I'll give it to him he's a better reader than you, at least he got two metaphores. You only got a missspelling :P
But I like the part where he says "Well he thinks its
creative perhaps :P... It wouldn't surprise me,.. its like a 16year
old writing... meh :P... Its pretentious :P... He could have said all that more honestly and with less pointless metaphors."
LOL...How is it "transparent" and "could be more honest" at the same time? How could a metaphore be pointless?
And the one million $ question:
If its so silly as "Simon" suggests, why couldn't you get it???!
1001 nights
Glad to know that you read my blog :)

Oh la la! Some one's touchy!
