147 too different views of life


There seems to be little to Malcom that is inherently meaningful in his existence. It is the mechanics of things that interest him most. Perhaps that is why he has chosen to become a mechanical engineer. It suits his mechanistic attitude to life. The universe to Malcom is just one big mechanism 1 and anything that can be mechanized will be mechanized seems to be another model of his. There is nothing meditated 3 about him at all. Confronted with anything that does not work as it should, Malcom just can’t help himself but meddle 4 with it, to try to put it right, to his way of thinking that is. Malcom’s view of things is quite the opposite of Mell, another friend of mine. Mell just loves to meditate 2, trying to meander 5 through the maze 6 that is called life. Much in the manner of Saint Dogstin, the medieval mystic, just like that Saint, Mell derives 7 much joy in life, through the medium of listening to the melody of the wind in the leaves and the melodic 8 song of birds at daybreak. Mell is happy to live on a comparatively meager 9 salary, not for him, the carries of the world. The mass media are of little or no interest to him. Be prepared for some major melodrama 10 whenever Malcom and Mell get together, there is nothing at all that can be called melodious 11 in the verbal exchanges. It is usually me on such occasions who is called in as a mediator 12, as to mediate 13 on their seemingly endless quarrels.
