Welcome To The Darkside

Once upon a time, there were 2 brothers. One had a large nose while the other had a large ear. The large nose boy is emotionless. He can’t feel anything, love,hate,happy, nothing. The large ear boy on the other hand is just like any other boy, your average Joe to put it simply.He has plethora of emotions to display.

One day, they found a Genie.The Genie gave each of them a wish.
"And now, state your wish and the reason why you wish for it,"asked the Genie.
Both of them fell silent. After thinking for a while, the large nose boy began speaking.
"I wish to have emotions because I feel incomplete as a human being without my emotions. "
"Granted," the Genie said to the large nose boy.
Shortly afterwards, the large ear boy began talking.
"I wish to be void of emotions. I feel to much, and without emotions, I could concentrate better towards achieving my goals."
"Granted,"
The Genie then fulfilled both of their wishes. Both of them returned to their normal routine.

The large nose boy feels complete. He has finally able to feel. He has finally able to live.
The large ear boy also was very happy with his wish. Without emotions, he became goal driven and was very successful.

Both of them were very happy with their lives.
One day, their mother fell ill, and passed away.
The large nose boy, now with the ability to feel, is very sad. He cried and cried for days, longing to be with his deceased mother.
The large ear boy, on the other hand, feels nothing. He didn’t feel happy nor sad. He felt nothing. And with his mother just passed away, and he felt nothing while seeing his brother crying his eyes out, he felt hollow inside. He felt incomplete, he didn’t feel human.

The large nose boy said
"I shouldn’t have asked for emotions. I can’t handle this pain. I can’t go on living my life this way. I shouldn’t have made that wish."
The large ear boy said
"I shouldn’t have asked to be emotionless. I felt inhuman, incomplete. I felt empty. I shouldn’t have made that wish."

By then, it’s already too late, and both of them shall suffer until eternity for the choice that they wrongly made.
Do you know the moral of this story? I do.
