~ Pride without cover ~

During one of many travels into known and unknown, during one of many usual and unusual days, while diving into half-dream and you think of everything and nothing, suddenly you meet someone. They say that the first impression is the most important. There is certain truth in that as long as it turns out different. His attitude, overt pride, something in his words that leaves us breathless and attract you. It seems that one moment has just turned into eternity, you just don't want it to stop. Something in that look of the eye drags you to go further, to explore, to find out more...Here a story of a human who changed own name begins, about the man who was once called SOMEONE and today is called NOONE. Just in one moment you come to glance that you were born under one happy star, that you have found the treasure on the bottom of the sea, something precious that is rarely met in a life. His eye look, shiny, mysterious and unattainable, signifed also his intellect. His words, calm and balanced, in one strange but in the same time logical composition, weaved a story that could be read in many ways. Security and clearness of his speech relieves you from every suspicion, simply believing in the things you hear. SOMEONE had his own attitude about everything and with his proud presence he showed that he believes in himself and that he stands for everything he says. And in the moments when he rarely surprises with his motion, you feel so great, SOMEONE was thinking about you, if he wasn't so SOMEONE in your eyes, it would be so usual, daily. That beautiful feeling keeps you in days while life, cruel and unpredictable, does start with the other flow. In that mess only courageous, secure and witted go further, those weak remain where they are. SOMEONE, in the shade of it's pride does not want to fight and go more, his pride is more important than anything, even than his life. And you still believe that SOMEONE is SOMEONE, you believe that his time will come, you find million reasons to justify him in your own eyes only, not to damage that first impression. You are listening carefully to his words, you absorb them into your soul...and then, slowly you make the puzzle, you start to know SOMEONE up to the end. SOMEONE started to become NOONE. In a moment you think that only wrong composition of words was guilty for that, but you cannot blame the deeds, so clear and imperishable. SOMEONE became NOONE. In front of you one has a human hiding behind his pride, totally insecure, not-defined, contradictory, inconclusive, made of lies, a human who does not know what he wants and someone who you cannot trust anymore, ever. His single weapon is pride and now just a pale story once you enjoyed in. In his life traveling NOONE will play so many times again his role with the aim to give little and take a lot, but he could never take the most the valuable from him and for his huge pride he could not see more and further. He will be drown in his pride without cover.

Na jednom od mnogih putovanja u poznato i nepoznato, u jednom od mnogih običnih i neobičnih dana dok tonete u polusan i razmišljate o ničemu i svačemu, iznenada upoznate nekog. Kažu da je prvi utisak najbitniji. Ima tu neke istine dok se ne pokaže drugačije. Privuče vas njegovo držanje, neskriveni ponos, nešto u njegovim rečima što vas ostavlja bez daha. Čini vam se da se trenutak pretvorio u večnost, ne želite da prestane. Nešto vas vuče u njegovom pogledu da idete dalje, da istražujete i da saznate što više...Ovde počinje priča o čoveku koji je promenio ime: nekada se zvao NEKO a sada se zove NIKO. U samo jednom trenu pomislite da ste rođeni pod srećnom zvezdom, da ste pronašli blago na dnu mora, nešto vredno što se sreće retko u životu. Njegov pogled, sjajan, tajanstven i nedokučiv, nagoveštavao je isto takav intelekt. Njegove reči, smirene i odmerene, u čudnom ali u isto vreme i logičnom sklopu tkale su priču koja se mogla čitati na više načina. Realnost, koja se jasno nazirala iz njegovog govora, bila je suprotna njegovom izrazu lica. Sigurnost i jasnost njegovog govora oslobađa vas svake sumnje, jednostavno verujete u to sto čujete. NEKO je imao svoj stav o svemu, svojim ponosnim držanjem pokazivao je da veruje u sebe i da stoji iza svega što kaže. I onda kada vas retko iznanadi nekim svojim gestom osećate se tako dobro, NEKO je mislio na vas. Da nije toliko NEKO u vašim očima to bi bilo nešto sasvim obično, svakodnevno. Taj predivan osećaj drži vas danima dok život, surov i nepredvidiv, ne krene nekim drugim tokom. U tom metežu samo hrabri, sigurni i snalažljivi idu dalje, slabi ostaju tamo gde jesu. NEKO, u senci svog ponosa ne želi da se bori i da ide dalje, njegov ponos bitniji je od svega, čak i od samog života. I vi jos uvek verujete da je NEKO NEKO, verujete da će njegovo vreme tek doći, nalazite milion razloga da ga opravdate u svojim očima samo da ne uprljate onaj prvi utisak. Slušate pažljivo njegove reči, upijate ih u svoju dušu, a onda polako slažete kockice, počinjete da upoznajete NEKOG do kraja. NEKO je počeo da postaje NIKO. Na trenutke mislite da je za sve kriv samo pogrešan sklop reči, ali ne možete da krivite dela, tako jasna i neuništiva. NEKO je postao NIKO. Pred sobom posmatrate čoveka koji se krio iza svog ponosa, sasvim nesigurnog, nedefinisanog, kontradiktornog, neubedljivog, satkanog od laži, čoveka koji ne zna sta želi i kome više nikada nećete moći da verujete. Jedino njegovo oružje je samo ponos i sada već bleda priča u kojoj ste nekada uživali. Na svom životnom putu NIKO će još mnogo puta da odigra svoju ulogu sa ciljem da malo pruža a mnogo uzima ali nikada neće moći da uzme ono najvrednije jer od sebe i svog ogromnog ponosa nije mogao da vidi više i dalje. Udaviće se u svom ponosu bez pokrića.
