1. I said, “let’s go to the beach and enjoy the scene and its beauty”. “Don’t we have homework to do?”, replied I am. “We can do it later together” I assured I am. I am followed me as we are inseparable entity of the same root.
2. As we sat down, I am was keenly watching the rising tide enthusiastically but I was distracted by the alluring figure in front of me; a damsel in her mid-twenties got one of eye. “I am, do you see what I see”. I said. “I have to, probably, she is a poor woman who can’t afford proper clothing”, pondered I am. “Silly I am, she is not poor but that’s what beauty is all about”, I replied persuasively.
3. “Oh really! But I can only imagine how creative God is to create such a beauty”, exclaimed I am. “God is a wonderful God who created this beautiful world, all we need is to be grateful”, continued I am. “Silly I am, you do not see what I see. How can we see differently when our eyes are seeing the same figure in the same direction?” assaulted I.
4. “What I am seeing is what I am getting”, refuted I am. “Are you trying to be self-righteous?” retaliated I. “No, but the beauty as you see has no ending. Why can’t you see the way I see, why can’t we live in unity as one because we are one?”.
5. “I know this beauty has no ending, but what I see is what I get too”, said I debatably. “You see according to where your mind and heart is”, preached I am.
6. Do you meant I have to change my mindset and the way I feel” asked I. “No, but you know what you need to do, if you care for me”, said I am affirmatively.
Background:
The Allegory of the Beach is a story between two character namely: “I” and “I am”. The story is narrated by “I”. This allegory by Marc P Gangmei is all about “Stimulus Response”: why we response the way we response in any condition.
Let us see them:
Paragraph 1:
I said, “let’s go to the beach and enjoy the scene and its beauty”. “Don’t we have homework to do?”, replied I am. “We can do it later together” I assured I am. I am followed me as we are inseparable entity of the same root.
In the first paragraph we see “I” is proposing “I am” to go to the beach and enjoy the scene and its beauty. Here, the words “beach”, “scene” and “beauty” does not signify or denotes anything that is morally bad or evil. The first reply by “I am” (Don’t we have homework to do?) shows us that there is some disagreement of thought between them. The word “homework” tells that the characters in this story are youngsters. Next, we see the assurance of “I” (We can do it later together) in a dominant role. The last sentence of this paragraph unveil us that they are inseparable being, a one person of a mother having two consciences.
Paragraph 2:
As we sat down, I am was keenly watching the rising tide enthusiastically but I was distracted by the alluring figure in front of me; a damsel in her mid-twenties got one of my eye. “I am, do you see what I see”. I said. “I have to, probably, she is a poor woman who can’t afford proper clothing”, pondered I am. “Silly I am, she is not poor but that’s what beauty is all about”, I replied persuasively.
Paragraph 2 picturize their (the two consciences) adventure on the beach. Here, “I am” was enjoying the real beauty of the nature whereas “I” was distracted by the alluring figure of a woman in front of him. The phrase “one of my eye” shows that one (mind/conscience) is independent of the other. Next, the phrase “I have to” by “I am” proves that they are one person and they see the same thing. But “I am” seems to act ignorantly to escape the fleshy desire by stating that the woman is poor who can’t afford proper clothing. Actually the woman was wearing an alluring bikini. On the other hand, “I” not sensing the wisdom of “I am” responded satirically and persuasively that in fact the woman is not poor but is the real beauty to be enjoyed.
Paragraph 3:
“Oh really! But I can only imagine how creative God is to create such a beauty”, exclaimed I am. “God is a wonderful God who created this beautiful world, all we need is to be grateful”, continued I am. “Silly I am, you do not see what I see. How can we see differently when our eyes are seeing the same figure in the same direction?” assaulted I.
No matter how persuasive is “I”. “I am” was clear on his thought about what real beauty is. “I am” willfully asserted that beauty should be given due honor and not indulge on it and also should be grateful to the creator, and as to stay away from indulgence. The interesting part of this paragraph is the question asked by “I” (How can we see differently when our eyes are seeing the same figure in the same direction?). “I” assaulted “I am” and tried to draw “I am” to his own thought and to think and see just like him.
Paragraph 4:
“What I am seeing is what I am getting”, refuted I am. “Are you trying to be self-righteous?” retaliated I. “No, but the beauty as you see has no ending. Why can’t you see the way I see, why can’t we live in unity as one because we are one?”.
By now, “I am” had become more tense in his reply. We can see that through his reply- “What I am seeing is what I am getting”. To this, “I” retaliated by countering “I am” as being self-righteous. To that, “I am” replied negatively but exhort that the lustful desire of beauty has no ending; and “I am” suggested why “I” cannot see the way he see because they are one body, one mind, and one person.
Paragraph 5:
“I know this beauty has no ending, but what I see is what I get too”, said I debatably. “You see according to where your mind and heart is”, preached I am.
Through this paragraph, we know that “I” is all aware that lust has no end and is morally not a good thing. And “I” tried to justifies and convince “I am” to see what he see by saying “what I see is what I get too”. But “I am” revealed the weakness and issues of “I” that if one dwell in the negative (lust) of life, one’s mind and heart is always negative (sinful).
Paragraph 6:
“Do you meant I have to change my mindset and the way I feel” asked I. “No, but you know what you need to do, if you care for me”, said I am affirmatively.
The last paragraph is the most beautiful fragment of this allegory. After “I am” show the reality of what is “I”. “I” ask for a solution, whether to change his mindset and heart. Here, “I am” responded wisely by saying “No” but “yes” if you really love yourself . The pronounce “me” (if you care for me) is the same person.
2. As we sat down, I am was keenly watching the rising tide enthusiastically but I was distracted by the alluring figure in front of me; a damsel in her mid-twenties got one of eye. “I am, do you see what I see”. I said. “I have to, probably, she is a poor woman who can’t afford proper clothing”, pondered I am. “Silly I am, she is not poor but that’s what beauty is all about”, I replied persuasively.

How can we see differently when our eyes are seeing the same figure in the same direction?” assaulted I.
4. “What I am seeing is what I am getting”, refuted I am. “Are you trying to be self-righteous?” retaliated I. “No, but the beauty as you see has no ending. Why can’t you see the way I see, why can’t we live in unity as one because we are one?”.
