Just read a quote somewhere which said, “…a bird who wouldn't fly out of an open cage…” and wondered, why would that be? And the reality hit me.. It just gets used to a cage so much that it doesn't know what it would be to be free! It doesn't know how to survive in the open skies..
It is called Agoraphobia – the fear of leaving home.
It is a fear that prevents a prisoner from leaving the walls of the prison. It is the fear of independence!
A fear that prevents people to take the unknown route.. the unexplored path..
It is the feeling that stops people from living their dreams.. And I guess it is not just the bird or the prisoner.. It’s us as well.
We find ourselves so cozy in our little cage that we ignore the open skies above.. Why do we have to be so protective of ourselves?
It is alright to get hurt sometimes.. It is okay to be lost somewhere.. It is fine to be careless at something.. It helps to take the odd risk.. Follow your instincts once.. Make an unplanned journey.. Life was not supposed to be lived as a plan.. Life was just supposed to be.. LIVED!!!!
