Toad 🐸 in the well...

"For a toad in a well, the well is its world until it leaps out of the well. At that moment, the toad realizes that it is living in a well with limited boundaries, while the world outside is large and unlimited. Similarly, confined to our beliefs, sentiments, and preset boundaries, we live our lives like the toads inside our self-dug wells. Our environment and upbringing make us believe in a certain way of life as per the standards and systems set. The leap that the toad took revealed the truth to it and opened up the world for it to explore.

To understand the facts of life and break our barriers, we must leap into self-realization. Many toads live and die inside the well without attempting to take that leap and hence miss the opportunity to see the world. Similarly, many of us hesitate to think beyond our preset thoughts and hence miss the opportunity to realize the facts of life.

However, among dozens of toads, one may attempt to take a long leap and inspire others to follow the lead. Similarly, amongst us, one person may break the barriers by thinking differently, which would inspire many others to follow in their footsteps. Let us resolve to be like that toad that leapt to inspire others to walk with us in the wide open world to live a life as per their choice. The other option is obvious in its result, and it's up to each of us to choose our actions."
