Herbert slipped the ring of Gyges on to his finger and was immediately startled by what he saw: nothing. He had become invisible.
For the first few hours, he wandered around testing his new invisibility. Once, he accidentally coughed and found that in the ears of the world, he was silent too. But he had physical bulk, and would leave an impression on a soft cushion or create an unexplained obstacle for those seeking to walk through him.
Once he became used to what it was like to live invisibly, Herbert started to think about what he could do next. To his shame, the ideas that popped into his head first were not entirely savoury. He could, for instance, loiter in the women's showers or changing rooms. He could quite easily steal. He could also trip up the obnoxious suits who shouted into their mobile phones.
But he wanted to resist.
The ring of Gyges was portrayed above as a test of moral values. Please always be true to yourself, please never stray out of your own values and belief. With the passing year, lets slowly wait to experience how the year will unveal. It had been a plain old year, I hope that it will be a more exciting one ahead awaiting me. It has been a great new year's day though. Good night to earthlings =) May all have a sweet, sweet dream about warmth & happiness.
