I was looking at photography online the other day. There was one picture that caught my attention especially. It was a picture of a birds nest, and three or four eggs in the nest. However, right in the center of the nest, was a small empty bird cage. I believe that it symbolized that from the moment of conception, we are already destined to end up a certain way. This made me sad, in the fact that I don't want to already know how the rest of my life is going to pan out. I want to go out and live, and make last minute decisions, and take risks. I don't want to safely walk down some path to somewhere where I was already predetermined to go. I want to stray off this path and make my own road, and have my own adventures and end up somewhere beautiful that no one has ever been to before. I don't want to end up like the poor old bird who was destined to land in a cage.
It showed me that if we follow the crowd and go where everyone else is going, we're going to end up in a cage, like everyone else in the world.
We all have to be our own person right? Unique.
If we're afraid of taking chances and straying from the crowd, we're never going to find a beautiful haven.
“It’s very beautiful over there.” I don’t know where there is, but I believe it’s somewhere, and I hope it’s beautiful." -- Thomas Edison.
