I think like that , most of us do and we don't realize it and think that our well is the best and biggest water body out there !
When some one tells there is a big lake or ocean just outside the well , our ego, mind ,what ever it is called will give its best shot to make us not to listen to that person even if you listen not to believe ,even if believed not to act ! To come out of the well and see the ocean.
Have you observed the opening lines of this post ! I think like that , most of us do I am forcing me to believe that limits of me are the limits of the world too ! or what I believe is true and nothing else can exist !
I love Rudyard Kipling’s If So much in it he says
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
when some one says some thing just stop your entire world and think for a second ,a minute or a day ! because Paulo Coelho says Angels speak to us through our friends in our time of need !
So there is very big ocean out there and today I decided to move on and leave this well behind for ever in to a world with no boundaries and walls ! As Rabindranath Tagore said :
Where the mind is without fear and the head held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by Thee into ever-widening thought and action;
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
