We humans live a rat's life, we not only get used to it, we find it hard to accept that we all are a part of a rat's race.
I once read a story about a rat that made a heroic effort to break free from his life and attained freedom. Once fine morning, the rat woke up and decided that it no longer wanted to live a life of a rat. It had heard of a "Mountain of Liberty" and of those before him had achieved freedom by reaching it's Peak. The rat undertook the hazardous journey and reached the very top, but had to pay a heavy price as anyone who offered to help him on the way asked for a pound of its flesh. But the rat was overjoyed with the newly earned freedom, even though it lost its tail, one leg and one eye.
We all lead a rat's life, looking to lead a life of purpose but our fears hold us back from doing that. On our journey, many come and offer us help for some price, some trick us and the others help us move ahead on our path. It is upto us to decide whether we want to take the risks and live a life of purpose or sentence ourselves to a life of a rat.
