A Metaphor (June 29, 2007)


T'was a big rain yesterday with strong winds. One of the small trees I have at the back of my house toppled down from its pot, breaking branches and smaller plants around it. I assessed the damage this morning and found that most of the smaller plants had succumbed to the weight of the big plant. Though looking weary, the plants were all alive.

In the real world, the so called "biggies" always win. The one that has the more brain power, more persuasive remarks, more glamorous friends, more money and more strength. What's left of the "small" ones is the challenge to live- to struggle, to fight.

But the great thing about being "small" is the fighting spirit to make it in this world. Never give up, always fight!
