The water of Epirus

I don’t buy bottled water, but go to the well: I fill my 15 litre marmonade jug with the delicious fresh water from Epirus, available daily at H2O spots, for 1 EUR. ( And so I have no problem with plastic bottles either )
Today the water truck arrived just as I was waiting for my can to fill. The driver was a tall, handsome, smiling young man – he said he knew me from somewhere. In a matter of seconds, he realised that he had been to my co-brokering office a couple of times. And I was puzzled, because I couldn’t remember.
Then he told me: at that time he weighed over 100 kg, he found no pleasure in anything except eating, he was lonely and sad, his health was deteriorating, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, he was sweating and gasping for breath. He came to my office a couple of times, we talked a lot, and I’m quite outspoken. I said it’s now or never, change your lifestyle, while it’s not too late, do something about yourself, because no one can pull you out of the hole but you, yourself. He said he tried/is trying, but it is so difficult. And then I did something that turned his life around: I threw a file on the table with a big beef and asked him if he knew anything that was easy in life. Don’t! Because life isn’t easy, we all carry our backpacks, this and that. Go ahead, go ahead and solve your life!
Well, he did it. Now she is slim, healthy and energetic. He has not yet found a partner, but he feels reborn when I slap him on my desk.
So, how is it? I stood by the fountain in the bright sunshine, and truly congratulated a young man who had put his own house in order, and not in a bad way. We shook hands and we were both happy.
