"An Index Finger" by Tulis Abrojal is a philosophical exploration written in the late 19th century. The work delves into existential themes, centered around the idea of human suffering, the pursuit of ideals, and the quest for individuality in a society that often stifles personal growth. At the opening, readers are introduced to a profound child character who longs for understanding and connection, highlighting the author's focus on the inner life of individuals. The beginning of the book paints a vivid picture of a child under a great tree, singing and engaging in introspective musings about loneliness and the nature of existence. When a stranger enters her space, they share a moment of connection that transcends their apparent differences. The child expresses a yearning for her own kind of people, fostering a narrative that contemplates the isolation of individuals with unique visions in a mundane world. Through poetic descriptions and dialogue, the opening establishes a poignant contrast between the child's inner world and the harsh realities surrounding her, suggesting an exploration of deeper truths concerning identity, belonging, and the ideals that guide one’s life.
