A Story of Two Men.

There's two men who was admitted in the hospital.
One was next to the window, and another man next to him.
Both the men have no visitors nor families.
The man that was on the bed next to the window can sit up and look out of the window for one hour everyday, he will describe whatever he sees to the man next to him.
So the man next to him will close his eyes and picture the whole scene in his mind.
Days by day pass like that, but it wasn't too long till the man further away from the window start to think, why isn't him the one lying next to the window and be able to look out of the window everyday. He got Jealous.
But the man next to the window still continues to describe the scene, about the park and the pond with swans and ducks.
One day, the man next to the window started coughing badly, and find difficulties in breathing. He reached out to the man next to him and wanted him to call for help.
Out of jealousy, the man next to him, thinks that if his condition got worse, he will be transferred to another ward, and he will be able to be the one looking out of the window, so he refused to call for help.
When help finally came, it was too late. The man next to the window, have died.
After the man have moved away from the bed, the man that was left there, waited for an appropriate time, and he asked for a switched to be moved next to the window.
After switching, the nurse left him all alone in the ward, and went off.
Slowly, the man tried to sit up.
Finally, he sat up, and looked out of the window excitedly.
A brick wall.
No park, No pond, No Swans, No ducks, just a brick wall.
He immediately called the nurse and asked wheres all the park, pond, swans and ducks that the deceased man have described.
The nurse told him that there's never a park, pond, swans nor ducks here before, Moreover the decease man was blind.
The man was stun upon hearing all these.

Encouragement, and all the White Lies.
Jealousy and all the guilt.
