Cogwheels

Narrator: Once we were all bound together, interconnected like cogwheels by one law—the law of mutual love. And we were called the single soul and for us this was our true happiness. But suddenly everything changed; suddenly egoistic desires arose in us and destroyed all this happiness. We fell into this world, which is dark, unfair, and built according to completely different laws—the laws of egoism. We wanted to dominate our neighbors, to use them in order to get pleasure; we desired honor and fame. We started pursuing knowledge, diplomas, academic degrees. We wished to acquire money—the more the better—because with it a person can get anything they want. But is that really so? That didn't make us happy. We started hating each other. And only when we became desperate, then we suddenly recalled that once we were happy—when we were all connected with each other, just like cogwheels. We finally remembered it and longed to come back to that state. And so we did. All were united together and once again understood what the real happy life is.
