Life as an invisible cage

Thinking about doing something but you stop yourself thinking about the constraints that will come in your way. Well we are known to stop ourselves from exploring the crazy side of life because we are bound by rules. What is it anyways, a set of dos and don’ts that we impose on ourselves. My saying is that it all melts down to one word FEAR. Fear of doing something wrong, fear of losing something/someone, fear of failing … the list goes on.  Well fear is invisible and fear is one factor that locks you up. 

We all are living life in an invisible cage where fear is the warden.  This invisible cage is stretchable and can be escaped for awhile. When we do escape out of it there is a sense of extreme happiness, something that gives you the feeling of craziness and everything seems possible. But after a while you are again caught back inside this invisible cage. Fear creeps in and controls your body and the best part is that one does not even know about it.

Continue to live in this cage as it is good be under some rules and fear. But once in a while try escaping the cage and you would know the world around you is lot different than what you actually perceive.

  2. The cage is something that we create around ourselves. It surrounds us all the time and it is this cage which defines our character.

    It depends on your thought process if want to remain inside the cage most of the time and jump out of it once in a while to test your craziness. Or be crazy all the time and get caught inside this cage once in a while.

    Everyone has some or the other fear that restricts the person from exploring some things but it is necessary to know what drives you and what kills you. Being under rules is good at times, it shows the world what kind of a person you.

    So it comes down your warden 'THE FEAR' to shape up your personality.
