A Strange Man

He was staring at the picture for a while. His friend asked: "Have you also heard of him? I heard that he was a strange man. Someone sneaky. I think this is one of the few pictures for him. But, they say that he always looks like that. Weird! The strange looking black hat, that was supposedly taken from a movie or just a different era. The big moustache and beard, it is just something from past. Not to mention, the body language that gives the same vibe as the looks. I think it is true what they said about him. Actually, I would think that by just looking at the picture in the frame".

He replied: "Well, I know him". His friend said: "Really...?". He replied: "All what you said about him is true. But, it is only true about the appearance. He was a friend. An uncertain man. Someone who has lived a difficult life. The life as we know it, was not something that he would bear. He used to live within his own head. He was different. But, I think what matters is honesty, isn't it? One may argue with that for sure. But, if you knew him closely, you would see a different picture. You would understand that sometimes, a difficult journey can shape one differently. Maybe, in a way that he would act in a certain way to keep his peace".
