Upon hearing the title of the video, one would surely be
curious as to what it is about. The title itself will give the viewer the
reason to watch the video until the very end.
The video talks about the one kind of robber whom the law
does not strike ate, and who steals what is most important to us men: TIME.
Henry Bernis is a bank teller and an avid bookworm. Being a bookworm, he sneaks
reading books like David Copperfield even during working hours, leaving his
boss mad at him and even his wife. But a very strange thing happened because of
this hobby. He was the lone survivor of a nuclear war that happened, all
because he read a book inside the bank’s vault. He was depressed, yes; he even
almost succumbed into suicide. But when he saw the public library’s ruins and
found so many still intact and readable books, he wasn’t able t contain his
joy. Now, he has all the time in the world to read books without being
interrupted by his wife, or without being scolded by his boss. But sometimes in
life, there are things that hinder you from doing what you wanted to do best.
Unexpected things happen and sometimes, we can’t do anything about it – we just
have to let it be. And this is what exactly happened to Henry. Just as he was
about to pick up the first book he will read, he stumbled and his thick
glasses, which is the only thing that makes him see, shattered – leaving him
completely blind for the rest of his lonely stay in the planet surrounded by all
the books he now can never read.
Certain instances in life will really lead us to thinking
that it is unfair. Yes, it happens. It is undeniable that what happened to
Henry was a disaster. But there are times when you can't do anything but scream and cry and
accept that life can sometimes be unfair.
