The world of JULIANA

A realm to express myself. A reflection of experiences. A place where I can go on writing(typing) for hours until my thirst to tell a story in all its depth & details has been quenched and fulfilled.

To be or not to be……

Usually, this blog is where I virtually write out chronicles of my daily living. But, for this year, I’m going to take on a different approach, and from time to time, I’d write somethin’ that perhaps makes absolutely no sense, and yet, I have this urge to write it into my blog.

Hypothetically speaking…………………..assuming you’re walking happily in a jungle, say, going jungle-trekking with a bunch of friends. Then, you take on a different path ‘coz you wanna pick some unique flowers in the Wilderness. Then….you stumble into a ravine . A deep ravine. and you end up at the bottom of the ravine. You scream for Help but nobody hears you… You say your prayers ‘coz you’re afraid of the other ‘creatures’ that may reside with you in that scary dark ravine. Then, you also hear very scary noises from the outside (the rest of the Wilderness, rite up on top of that Ravine). And times passes by……….. you’re trapped in a Ravine. But, there comes a time when you’ve to make a decision. On one hand, you’re caught in a very deep dark scary Ravine. If you don’t get out of that Ravine, you might just die in hunger and loneliness in that deep dark Ravine. On the other hand, you have this constant fear………of what lurks outside ……..in that Wilderness.

Question is : would you climb up that deep dark scary Ravine and peep out into the Wilderness? Or would you attempt to climb out of Ravine to GET OUT of that deep dark scary Ravine and face the Wilderness and all the perils that come along with it ?

I suppose the decision lies in the personality of each individual. One who’s always been afraid to take risks in life would perhaps choose to stay in that deep,dark, scary Ravine. ‘Coz one is always afraid that he/she may not be able to cope with what lies outside that Ravine.

And then, across the board, there’s another group of Individuals who are bold. They’re courageous and are able to face these risks right in the eye. There’s fear, but yet, they ‘re the ones that choose to overcome this fear by FACING the fear, as opposed to rotting in that deep , dark, Ravine.

What would you do? Climb out of that Deep dark Ravine, or Rot inside the Ravine?
