Fish tanks vs reality

People always feel sad for the fish in fish tanks thinking of how miserable they must be but in reality fish don't know their potential. They were born in fish tanks. Fish tanks are all they know. It's just like the caged bird or even people. We have lived the way we have lived for so long, we are born into things we have no control over. Yes, once we got to choose our future but now we are the future and this is what we're stuck with. I believe the only species that truly know no boundaries, no rules, no structure are wild animals. Only they know the greatness they continue to strive with. Hallelujah.

Hidden

Winter makes the world beautiful when coated in snow, it changes its character. It is almost as if it makes itself uninviting so we have watch it at a distance in awe behind our safety walls to not disturb it, almost as if we would not dare to invade. It almost seems as though it is the worlds way of hiding for a while in the most breathtaking way, as well, hiding the rest of its precious parts that should use it as a break from being exposed to harsh sunlight and rambunctious kids tumbling all over it. After all they get that treatment all year it is like their silence to us as a humanity. A time for all unseen to sleep a bit. The best kind of present all Winter season for anything that breaths.
Most teenagers in this day and age use the definition of insanity to describe their life without a cell phone, computer, music, and/or tv when in fact they’re not terrible things to go without. Today those things really have taken over our bodies and our minds. They could not be a credible source for one persons insanity if ever lost because our modern technologies once were not here. I believe, technologies have a negative effect on humanity in a sense that it is leading us to losing touch with our nature world and a has directed us into a sad misunderstanding with what they are doing to ourselves for the long term. Everything is hectic in the present that I believe if we did slow down humanity, as a whole, would not know what to do with themselves.

It seems we have come to find ourselves standing on the edge and not even knowing. The existence of things conceived as a necessity are truly blind sighting us to what we have become and what our destinies will forsake us to be. So now our very own man made creations are steeling us from the hidden beauties that lie right smack in front of us closer than that computer screen or television, the beauty that has always been here. Whatever happened to our mothers dressing us up for a nice Sunday morning out and on our way to nowhere in particular and spotting a patch of beautifully stunning flowers of yellows and purples to the right that stopped us to where they were now all out there need deep in flowers capturing our faces with their beauty. I bet our favorite color comes from our pocket sized piece of plastic surrounding our cellular voice transmitting device. I bet our favorite sound is that guitar solo in your favorite Classic Rock song. Never the color green because it is the color that has been fighting longer than we know, it is never the sound of the early morning birds because they welcome us to a new day. We have rid of it all on our own and sadly we are not going back for it. Not at any pace are we reaching for that little bit of preciousness we once cherished.
