Milomi's world

We often seem to think that life is a ladder. We take our steps, rung after rung. Once we are halfway up, we believe we won’t ever fall down. With that we don’t listen to ourselves telling us to slow down, but try to keep up with life and run up. Our lives become monotony. We refuse to sit down, to breathe, to live.

I don’t mean to say that we should take life slowly and steadily all the way through. Because life is not about being slow and steady, but keeping up pace, enjoying and not overdoing anything. What I do mean is that we take life too seriously. We put money and jobs before our family and our self. We fail to feel anymore.

We think it will look bad if we cry. We think it will ruin our reputation. We think it will shrink us to perform such low acts. For today, we just want to impress. But nobody will be impressed if you are not human. If you pretend to be higher than you actually are, then you just exist. You don’t live. Sometimes, even the mighty elephant takes steps down his ladder of life as he mourns the dead. He impresses people and he has power but he lets go of it. He does feel feelings.

Will we ever climb down just to feel the breeze blowing? Just to look at the scenery painted in front of us? Just to take a step down and live life?
