The precious white cloth(the point of living in life).
The white cloth hanging freely on a tree has been sewed into a shirt by someone. I knew it would happen eventually, so I never dared to look. I just lived my life knowing that the cloth is there, the cloth I had deeply hoped would be sewed one day into a shirt by me so I could wear.
Today, I looked and it has been sewed and worn by someone. The damage could never be undone, but it was never going to be my shirt anyway.

I didn't sew a shirt out of it, because the white cloth had a mind of its own and it wouldn't let me, even though I wanted toso bad.

I sat as the white clothe grew old, even lied to myself that now noone will sew a shirt out of it. I was happy for the moment knowing that clothe would never be sewed, but I was wrong.

The white cloth stands for the point of living or the meaning to life. And this cloth was going to be sewn into a shirt someday by you. But someone else came along and took the cloth that you thought was yours and made it into a shirt and now you feel that the damage that did can never be undone. That seems so sad. Are you sure you were looking at the right cloth in the first place. Maybe you have just been standing inside looking out at the wrong tree. That is what I think happened. Noone took your white cloth you just need to find the right one that really belongs to you and you can sew it into anything you want!

OK so we will need to start again..find some virgin cotton
strait out of the cotton fields.. and weave the white cloth than we will hang it back on the tree.. so is that you can start all over again ..and hopefully you can sew your shirt
and wear it proudly ..remembering there was no stain on the cloth..and on the person wearing it

Take your eyes off that tree and look around at the forest. It goes even further than you can see. As you walk through, you will see other cloth - perhaps not white. Perhaps with an interesting pattern you'd never even thought of before.
Keep your eyes up so that you don't miss the other trees, the different types of cloth on them.

It is not the only white cloth waiting to be sewn into a shirt someday.
While you were focused on the cloth that was not to be yours, other cloths wait on the tree hoping to be noticed and sewn into a shirt by you.
Expand your focus and see the forest, not just the tree.
May God bless you and keep you.

What in doG's name are you talking about? is this a metaphor? If so, what do the bits about the shirt symbolize? Are you being melodramatic and too, too clever? If you truly have no hope at all, why continue living?
You got dumped right?

when a door closes for whatever reason usually another door opens or a window will appear. do not give up as where there is a will there is a way.

It's not the only tree in the forest. And perhaps white isn't your color.
