The reason I desire this change is, because I realize that in allowing this resentment to bare down on me, the people that hurt me still influence & affect me today! THAT MAKES ME MAD!! and the truth of the matter is, I'm the only one that can change that. I have to take off the old and put on the New! you know?!

Exactly how small a human is in an endless universe. 2. How much a human can accomplish in an increasingly complicated world. Humility is what you feel when you come to one of two realizations.

1. Exactly how small a human is in an endless universe.

2. How much a human can accomplish in an increasingly complicated world.

That line was stellar. I really enjoy your posts Allison. They make me think about the deep stuff.

I was just thinking what if the pixels on a Mona Lisa picture on my screen decide to think out of the jar and practice their personal freedom to be a different color. If everybody in this community agrees with what this blog says, then wouldn't thinking out of the jar be opposing the idea ? It is a tricky subject.

When an infant elephant is being domesticated, they put a chain around it's leg and secure the elephant to a post or stake. The elephant will struggle to free its leg and finally learn that it can't. When the elephant learns its lesson, the chain is replaced by a rope that the elephant could break ... but it 'knows' it can't. This training has to happen early because a mature elephant could break the chain. It has to learn early on how powerless it is so humans can control it as an adult. So ... are you as powerless as you believe? What chains hold you? Similar to the flea analogy.

Also, I made the mistake of drawing the fleas as black. I think I heard somewhere that Allison's fleas are white as snow.
