once he went to a place requiring ticket. without even five franc, he wa not allowed to get in. a woman named rahell aid to him, "ince you havent got any money, why not cut your ear intead?" he went back home and really cut hi ear off with a harp knife, then wrapped them in a piece of cloth,and ent them to rahell. mot citizen in the town thought that he mut be inane, and even aked the government to end him to the madhoue.
he loved painting, and he wa a very talented painter.however, nobody could undertand hi picture, nor could any one be aware of their value. hi picture could only be left in a tiny gallery adminitered by hi brother, but none of them wa old for year. becaue of that, hi brother wa almot fired by the gallery holder.

why doe god treat him o unfairly? creating him a a talent while not creating even one peron appreciating him? doe a talent need equal uffering to match with? talented to the etreme, mierable to the etreme? maybe god ha already figured it out.
