I feel like a Bluegill, sensitive to all the vicious things that happen around yet tolerate them and continue swimming through it all. Babyhood saw the Bluegill in a small tank, well protected with no worries. It grew up, got transported to a bigger tank that taught it to live with other species. Now its the ocean, where its learning to live with some real deadly creatures, treading carefully, not trusting easily yet swimming with confidence and expertise amongst many hurdles. It doesn't know how much bigger the ocean is gonna get, how many deadly creatures or friendly aliens its gonna meet.Long time ago, a friend of mine- Brat told me that it's okay to get scared sometimes coz it gets your adrenaline pumping hard. That was such a crazy thing to say then but in a way it's true. The swimming will be fun, a risky sort of fun. Sometimes I wish the "Beauty and the Beast" miracle would happen that would turn the Bluegill into a Tortoise. The Bluegill would rise from the ocean as a Tortoise, jump to the forbidden land, hidden in a quiet shell knowing that there is much more to Life than just the Ocean.

Nice post, Interodonna! Like I said, it is the adrenaline that keeps us going and looking forward to the unknown future. The future shall be good, and the challenges will make the end-result so much sweeter! Hang in there! :-)
Thanks Brat.
Not too sweet, not too sour, just a little blue.
And then there is always the adrenaline and the hope :)
Yup....its the hope that gives us a reason to strive hard, isn't it?
Well actually is'nt this how life is? We think we are safe when we grow up and we are insecure when we grow up and long for being pampered. Graduation from a student to office goer ... We just think the life is secured outside our current zone and we get smitten. And when we survive the bite, our mind goes elsewhere and we follow the mind in pursuit of happiness. Strange but true mind is like a monkey and regardless to what a bluegill becomes in the end it is the instinct and how safe we feel about the environ, there is no way it can survive. It is a hope and belief plus optimism that make us survive.
I wish I could become a lion... just have to take it easy.
@Brat
yeah.. absolutely right.. hope definitely gives a reason to move on.
@Vik
hmm yea.. I guess that life.
I don't think Lions lead a cosy life either. Do they? They have their worries of surviving too.
hey, nice analogy.
honestly, ignorance and innocence is bliss!!
partial awareness and understanding comes with a curse of despair and fear of the unknown future. But hope always accompanies despair and so things stand as a balancing act, swinging between despair and hope.
maybe life offers scope for both a carefree and careful life to keep things interesting :)
'deadly creatures' and 'friendly aliens' - i must say they are interesting terms :P
The amount of risk you run into in order to just survive. Now that is why you have to be something that is more like abominable not in true sense but more like the ones that can survive the grinds more easily.
Anyway, i guess it is all about hangin in there no matter who you are. It just takes a bullet to clean up a man AND a lion so yea just curse your damn luck for either being the target or by freak chance running into a bullet that never had your name written in it AT all... Luck shall keep you swaying alive
@sumanth
yea ignorance is sure bliss.. u are right! i think we can find the balancing act in everything that we do in life. if there is good, there is bad. if there is white, there is black. and as you said, if there is hope, there is despair. i wish i could just be carefree all the time and also ignorant and yes definitely innocent :)
@vik
do u believe in luck? hmm i believe in destiny but not luck. what i get is what i deserve. but i will work towards it with hope and adrenaline to keep me charged :)
don't you think it works that way?
