Phoenix
“Flying starts from the ground. The more grounded you are, the higher you fly.”
- J.R. Rim
Think ourselves as a newborn baby bird.
Thank our parents for their genuine nurture.
For a temporary of time we were that vulnerable and totally defenseless. Our parents — they feed us, guide us, protect us, and truly love us with each of their softly pecks. Unfortunately, those sweet moments will be perished as we slowly grow and welcoming our coming of age. The wait is over. We could finally be able to feel the flap of our own wings on being carried around by the wind. Wait. Who told you that a first try will surely become a smash hit? Ah yeah but there’s gonna be a first time in everything right? For a first of almost every moment in our lives, there would always be our parents involvement to show their role as a prior right-hand and a helpmeet. Well thanks for that. And after they show a flying skill 101 to poor rookie noob like us, they eventually encourage and force us to try our first attempt. Watch and learn they said, and finally we succeeded. Cheers and beers.
But
You think they’d let go of their precious endearing moppets so easily? And yet much to our dismay, there are some parents out there who constantly thinks that their babies would be securely saved and away from harm if the chicks just stay still inside the nest, or metaphorically, inside the golden cage. They wouldn’t let us to hunt on our own, wouldn’t give us the go-ahead to loosely explore on our own. This is the moment when logic couldn’t come into senses. They’re the one who taught us how to fly in the first place, yet in the end they’re the one who locked us up in a golden cage and strictly forbid us to use our wings. Hello? Yes, they strangely exist. Those kind of ambivalent parents with a mindset to surely teach their kids all survival kits in life, yet they’re being constantly indecisive and hesitated when the kids wanting to use the survival skills they’ve got into real-deal hurdle in life. Huh? Self-development much?
Then
Why would they expected so much from their babies to be capable of swallowing all life lessons yet they’re also being the main resistance when the kids urging for an actual implementation? Confusion. And when we tried to give a little reasonable insight they would quickly judge us as ungrateful bratzz who never know of any gratitude. Who’s actually insane here? The more they caged and restrained us, the bigger our rage and desire become to break all those illogical nonsense opposite things they have long clamped down. So what’s the use of our heaped-up life skills and survival kits all this time? Would they be just becoming a meaningless theory and formality that passed down through generations without any realistic embodiment? Oh dear parents, you’re so funny indeed.
But sorry ma and da, we have had enough of living in your golden cage already. We’re gonna break the cage with our wings if we should. We aint no more your sweet baby tweety bird, instead we are phoenix that will pour our all skills and lessons set to use. We are phoenix that will spouting off fire to any barricades and hindrances in front of us. We are phoenix, we turned out to be the most invincible legendary bird you ever had. We’re gonna make you proud by our own sensible lit and wit. Thank us later.
