Zoo# daily prompt # season 4# attempt 30
If this whole world is a zoo,
Which animal are you?
The fierce lion or sexy tiger?
The naughty monkey or silly donkey?
Which animal’s traits you represent?
Are you a mixture of more than one?
In this increasing concrete jungle
All humans are like caged animals
Even worse than animals behind the bars
Who are actually helpless unlike humans
Caged in self created restrictions
Running up and down to get freedom
Without realizing no one else is binding us
This zoo is constructed by thoughts inside head
We are so lost in this mental slavery
That forgotten there is no lock and no key
Just inbuilt cage of our perceptions
And bars of illusions that are just fictions!

Very true. I particularly like this wording ‘Caged in self created restrictions
Running up and down to get freedom’.

It’s so true, Meenakshi. Many people are conditioned to see their restriction as real or perceived the condition we are put under as limitation. It takes insight and courage to break through the invisible cage. Well done!!

Thank you Miriam! Our minds are programmed with this invisible cage right since childhool. And so we think them as real difficult to break.

I know, Meenakshi. It takes the understanding of the self and how this cage affects us to find our ways out!

Sometimes restrictions help in making better choices by eliminating few options and it gets easier to deal with stuff
Living inside the boundaries also means we will never get lost in the maze of world
Just a way I see it

Your perspective is right in a way but when these boundaries hampers our growth and restrict us in a suffocative way then it’s necessary to use intellect and break these bars…which are actually nothing but our self imposed ones.
