Human = Ostrich

I bet everyone will have a shell of their own. Our shells is always the comfort zone. We tend to be what our past has shaped us. Some people may not have very tragic past but some people encountered a lot of hurts in the past. Because of the past hurts and experienced, some of us learn to break every shell that they created during their storms but some choose to stay in their shell and never come out again.

As for myself, I am not those who would break the shell that I have created. I'm kinda passive. How did I feel when I was staying in my shell? I can testify that it was not any happier. When I learned to break my shell, there were more pain than staying in the shell. But the after effect was I have joy and my life and attitude changed. If you ask me if I wanna go back to the shell that I used to have again, I would say NO. Well, some times when the situation is so terrible that I'm tempted to give up breaking the shell but to stay in there. It is definitely not an easy task to break the shell and step out from our comfort zone.

Some people keep looking back at their past and hoping that others will understand their past thus understand why they are behaving like now. However, our world is a cruel world. Who cares about your past? Well, I guess in the beginning people will try their best to understand and to give in, but we need to grow. If we are not growing, many people will start to feel fed- up and tend to give up being patient and being understanding. All of us need to move forward. People have no time and energy to stay with us in our past.

I also think that we humans are like ostrich. No matter how high or how low our social status is, no matter how well educated and how out- going we are, there are some parts of our life that we do not want to reveal to others. Ostriches bury their heads into the ground when they are afraid. Some of us do too. On the other hand, some of us, run away, change topic or avoid certain people when the topic of conversation goes across their boundary thinking that we can continue to hide what we want to hide. We are like OSTRICH!!! *I giggle when I am typing this* That means, humans are just as dumb. We forgot that when we hide some parts of us, we are revealing the other parts of us. We are created with intelligence and we have the ability to judge things in an acceptable way. No matter how we hide, some people will still be able to detect what we are trying to hide in their own special way. The thing is, whether they wanna tell us they know what we are hiding from or not.

Hmm... I am an ostrich too! What is the solution? I think continue breaking the shell that we form everyday will be it. I cannot think of any better way right now. By overcoming our passed hurts is the crucial thing to do. I think we need to be humble enough to show our weak parts to others. Maybe we should be proud of the weaknesses that we have especially when we have improved from it. No weakness, how to improve? So let's choose now what we wanna be!
