Experiencing Life

The good kid, protected and sheltered since young, perfect and obedient. Never experienced much. She wants to break out! What has she been missing, what is she missing out on? Hunger to see, hunger for the experience, the excitement. Hungry for the world has to offer.

She steps out, strides far, leaves the nest, flies away, the mother, worried but powerless for this is the growth of a child. That imprisoned spirit, finally the seal has faded, it is released.

Not knowing, the world: hate, sex, pain, love, craft, goals, zeal, enjoyment, happiness, exhilaration, the dumps, the struggle, the battles, the sights, the vastness...

all these stimulation, arrgh, all these feelings,!! Ultimately, all comes to naught, ultimately fleeting, accounts for nothing.

Travelling around the world, can't you see that it is nothing but these? Superficial and nothing useful. In the end, you'll find that something is still lacking. That void in your heart is still not filled. Around the world and back to square one. But not having seen, one cannot help but want to see, seeing is believing. It is growth, it is needed. Sigh. Why do they not believe? Why do they want so much to plunge themselves into this world to come back to where they started?

But yet, knowing this, one still yearns for the world. Why so? Why so indeed..I cannot understand also. Forever trapped in this cycle....A hero is needed
