Nothing is without a reason !

I saw a bridge .An unneeded one .I dont know what its maker meant to bridge.No rivers under it.Just built some centimetres above the ground.

I didn't pass any comment on it.Why use words unnecessarily?wasnt it built marvellously enough.'Why ,Does it need a reason to be built other the beauty of it?'Then I thought 'Who told that it was built for no reason?' No one.It was just what I felt.It need not be true..

The guide was walking in front ,his eyes fixed on the mountains so far away,with snow covered top. Though old,he walked like a young man, fast and with steady steps.He seemed to know the whole area by heart that he didn't bother at look down at the ground.I cleared my throat and asked "why was this bridge built? seems useless.But of course beautiful"

The old man turned back to me .His face had a graceful smile.His Grey eyes reflected the sun in them.He said "Nothing in this world is here without a reason.What you see now is a bridge with nothing to bridge...You wont believe my words.Will seem hard to digest.Will you believe if I say that there was a deep cliff beneath it?"
I just pictured in my mind, a cliff beneath it.'Yes.Nothing is without a reason' & for a hundredth time I learnt the same thing.I said "I have no reason not to believe you." He smiled again.I returned him another.THen we continued walking toward the mountains.
