Heart was his name, an unusual name for a boy. His parents thought that he will become a compassionate man in times where we are in a desperate need of that kind of person.

He was a unique child not because his parents couldn't but because they chose it. They thought that it was for the best. Dedicating themselves just to one child was the proper way to rise him well and to educate him so he can contribute for a better society. They were aware that they shouldn't overprotect nor ignore him . They believed that showing him the way was useless, he should discover it on his own. They would let him answer his questions by guiding his reflections through logical reasoning.

Heart was a clever and curious boy. He was eager to live and to learn about anything that surround him.

He has a friend called Kevin with whom he liked to play, but Kevin was not a happy child.

One day, he came home and asked his mother : "Mum, Is it hard for you to take care of me?"
Astonished his mother said : "Why would you say something like that?"
He answered innocently: " Kevin said that his parents can't attend his recital because they have to work. So when I asked him why do they chose their work over their child. He said that they always say that taking care of a child is difficult and that they need the job to afford that".

The mother looked at her son and said :" what do you think if we make it tonight discussion?" Heart agreed obediently and went upstairs to do his homework.

While heart climbed the stairs, the mother get lost on her memories. she remembered a time when she asked herself if she could do both working and rising her child. She smiled when she recalled how she found an answer to that question.

Before knowing her husband, she was an ambitious woman that worked hard to build a "bulletproof" career. A career where nobody would say she didn't earn it or promoting her was just a favor. It was a time where she despised people who twisted the truth just to appear as victims. those who preyed on others to achieve their goals. At first, she believed their stories and helped them until they stab her in the back. in reality they were spreading false rumors about her being incompetent, about bribes that she gave to keep her job. She was audited several times but they didn't found anything to charge her. She never doubted the scheme. Neither when her major customers were transfered to them, nor when they got the promotion that she seeks. Until one day, they got annoyed of her hard work and optimism. They said : " You are not fit for the job, you should resign, if not a great harm would be done to this company and many will lose their jobs".
She was puzzled ans asked for an explanation because she did a good job and that all the customers she worked for were pleased with her work.
They said that she couldn't deal properly with people, and she was too naive to understand what does it mean?
She wanted to defend herself but they didn't let her, they Suddenly said : "the good work is the work done with intelligence. The smallest effort to get the greatest result. Having you in the team is a time and effort consuming. You are shadowing everyone with your useless competence "
She didn't know what they were trying to say, then it became all clear. There were rumors about demoting them because they couldn't close an important deal. The customer said that he was willing to reconsider if she worked on the project.

Red from anger they exploded :"Could you wipe this stupid smile of your face, it makes me sick. How could you not understand? It was me who told the director about your incompetence. It was me who asked for you to join our team to make you a slave under my command. Without my guidance you are nothing."

Her calm surprised her, when she said :" I know what you did", then she went out and closed the door.

After a few hours, she received a call from HR. They sent her to a branch of the company in a remote area and they expect her to be there by tomorrow morning.
That night, she cried all her heart out not because of the betrayal. She doesn't understand how such incompetent people could rise that high. How they became that powerful. She couldn't understand why others supported them. She always believed that only competence matter and in that domain she is like an inexhaustible Energy source. They were not worthy of her efforts to please them in the past or even to beat them in the future. They were the one who are destroying the company. The company is just an small representation of the world. They were a lot of people like them scattered all along it. She didn't know where disappeared those who build the world with their talent and perseverance. Those who inspired her to keep fighting and to build a better world. I became a habit to choose the most corrupt to lead. Instead of a bright future we got an uncertain world full of despise, plots and schemes so as the cunning could prevail.
