Have you ever noticed how big difference between the handwriting on paper and on whiteboard is? Well, for those who are not in any professions which require them to write on vertical surface most of the time that is. As we were being trained to write at young age, we would always rest the side of our hand on the surface, for support purposes perhaps, for the sake of producing neater handwriting maybe, or probably, simple as making our lives easier. When it comes to a point in life where we are asked to write on vertical surface, we would somehow find it harder, as we’ve lost the support and hence, somehow, feeling insecure. Have you ever noticed how people tend to express their gratitude of being alive or after getting away from any unwanted injuries by kissing the ground the moment they got off from the car or plane? Over the past, Mother Earth Nature has somehow been transformed into a form of security in the hearts of many, for we’ve been living in her arms all this while, fulfilling our primary needs and explore the wonders as we wish. Down to Earth is an expression often used referring to those who are practical or humble, in this passage however, I wish to point out the fact that we are being tied down to Earth, depending on one’s personalities, that we seek for security most of the time, even the little acts are counted. Our heartbeat increases the moment we miss one step half way walking down the stairway, we rest the side of our hand on white board as we write and taken over by little paranoia when we find ourselves all alone, feeling being abandoned by the world that we care about most. The truth is, sometimes we really have to give everything a chance, even though it means we would be freaked out for our feet are not able to touch the ground, even though we would be left alone in certain situations which we have to face sooner or later and even though we are asked to put everything we’re familiar with aside before we’re able to take up the challenges ahead. There will be the time when we are supposed to be up in the air and not tied onto the ground, so why give away the opportunity which would give us a whole new perspecitve from a different angle when we can get hold of it and use it well?
