People sometimes are like birds. I got this impression when I caught a bird slammed to our glass wall by the stairs. It incidentally got in the building through an open window and no longer knew how to get out. That was when I caught it.

Back to the analogy, I believed that in life, sometimes we were trapped with wrong decision that we thought was the right move. Or sometimes we enter to a situation that we thought was a comfort zone for us, believing that it a small world and we can easily get use to and can settle easily due to seemingly simple environment and safe haven. But it’s a deception.

While regaining its strength, we had a close chat with the bird

In the same way, we risk ourselves by hastily making decisions, thinking of a clear way out to a problem but it is only a false solution. What seemed a clear solution was a life-threatening act unless given time to dissect the matter. The bird, upon seeing the clear glass thinks that it is already the escape it is looking for. With haste, it flew straight to it but instead of getting out to the open, it slammed to a head whacking surprise to the clear glass wall. Sometimes, if fate is not on their side, death is their only way of escape.

In life, major decisions and steps with life-changing outcome should not be dealt with carelessly. Thorough understanding of the situation with wise counsel from your friends and people with Godly wisdom are only two of the most basic requisite to attain a more likely effective solution. People you trusted are important in crafting decision. This could be your parents, husband or wife, religious family, or close friend. Most importantly, one must seek the guidance of God.

Like the bird’s fall, might be hard yet, it was not fatal. The bird tried to get up and flew. But it was impossible till some time when it regained from being horrifyingly slammed to the glass wall.

Fly, fly and away....

What is important is after your fall you know how to get up and think again to leap off. After all, tomorrow is another day.
