This is just a story.
Part 1: The beginnings
Once upon a time , there was one major school of thought, named “Ushakhlarism”*. The master of this school of thought, M.J. Was a generous man who had named his school of thought after the respect and honor he always liked to give his friends and pals. His ideas were so intense and full of thought that soon began to attract many who were around him but also caused competition. You see, two other schools of thoughts were soon established. Some said that these were branches of Ushakhlarism, coming to existence due to the huge impact of the original school of thought and the extended demand for more detailed guidelines and principles in life. And some passed the story on that Master M.J. had faced two of his great friends in a combat who had defeated him, requesting to join in the profit he was making on his school. Be it due to morality and peace, or business and war, all we now know is that there were three schools of thought, all surviving peacefully next to each other and earning valuable market share among friends and the like. These were, “Ushakhlarism” by Master M.J. as we mentioned, plus “Velism”** run by professor K.L., and “Yaralism”*** lead by Doctor-Engineer M.S.
It was not too long before an excited open-minded happy camper named Bob was introduced to Ushakhlarism and ultimately to Velism. As the market share of Yaralism was limited or at least not known to him, he became more inclined to stick with what he had learned and gain insight and understanding on Ushakhlarism and then a bit about Velism under the sincere guidance and the expert advise of Master M.J and professor K.L. He was promised that Ushakhlarism will soon dominate the entire world – or maybe not. Soon, Bob was granted the title “The Fourth Messenger” because you see Master M.J. had three other very important messengers in his campus already. Anyway, Bob started distributing the message of Ushakhlarism to his friends, which was about friendship and happiness. He boasted about being the fourth messenger and was very happy. Bob was told several times by Master M.J. that the necessary instructions and data will be provided to him by means of telepathy, one of the most modern approaches in transferring of information. So Bob was usually at a state of “waiting”. One day Bob decided to contact Master M.J. through brain-waves because he had a major question about the instruction distribution policies and as we know, time flies! But the more he tried to log-in the more confused everything seemed. At first he thought that the lines are busy but then he realized that the whole thing has been a conspiracy. What a shocking conclusion! And that was the beginning of a new era! The era of… “Self-eshghism”****.
