Once
in a while, an outlandish idea may flash in my mind, and though it could stay
there and keep my thoughts busy for a while, eventually, I will reach to the
conclusion that it’s a rather nice-to-have necessity. And it’s not because of
its bizarre nature, but my own unwillingness to go deeper and outline all possible
aspects to prioritise and make it profitable in practice. Therefore, this idea
will sink into a certain “drawer” of my mind and patiently wait for the right
time to come and make me take the needed actions.
It’s
always nice to have something stored, especially in one of those moments when
we thrive to accept the wisdom that everything we have in the here and now is
everything we need, irrespective of whether we perceive it as abundance or a
resource to create abundance. Moreover, we will be offered a good number of
supportive events to refresh that bizarre idea and help us realise what its
profound meaning is all about. Consequently, we may get to the point that what
we have considered as a nice-to-have necessity is actually a fundamental need.
Conceiving
the fundamental need to protect me and survive among all other species came out
as a sign of a little skunk. Unquestionably, the fame of this gentle animal was
a reason good enough to urge me to get rid as soon as possible of it. Thus,
focusing entirely on the smelly surface of that story I missed the chance to
read the full content of the message. A mere defence mechanism is not enough to
reveal the whole and real nature even of a little skunk, but still, it’s a good
first sign to keep away the foes and to be respected.
Some
signs and symbols do not come in our life to simply measure our intelligence
and emotional advancement. Their only purpose is to make us further grow in
order to see their whole beauty, although at a first glance it could be hidden
behind some repellent layers. I brought up my little skunk to discover its
patience, prudence and peaceful character. This cute fellow taught me that
being a gentle person is not a weakness to be ashamed of. I only had to find my
defence mechanism and learn how to wisely use it.
The
gentleness and the devastating anger are two sides of one and the same medal.
It takes time for a peaceful creature to be taken out of emotional control and
a great dose of profanity not being able to read all signs which have been
shouting “back off.” When the fear of our physical or emotional survival has
been triggered, anger comes to take its role as a defence mechanism and not to
define us as a “smelly” personality. It gives a reputation powerful enough to
keep all trespassers at a healthy distance and the freedom to enjoy the right
of being good.
