She looks at her shelf, full of scents and colors. She breathes in the amalgamation of perfume. Then, she sighs. She wishes she could mix and match, but she's known to coordinate. If she changes, she will be questioned.
He looks at his closet. There are ties of all sorts; he wants to wear a bow tie today, but he knows that if he does, people will wonder. His reputation and career will be at stake if he shows up in a bow tie instead of a necktie.
Does this mean that people should not change? Does this imply that people should follow a fixed pattern?
Should we not change things? Should we not explore ourselves?
" If you want something you've never had, you've got to do something you've never done before."
This quote says it all! We need to change something if we want to change ourselves for the better.
This change should come from within. We should not be forced to change to fit social standards, but we should be free to change to fit our desires and aspirations. This door should never close, and it is all of our duty to keep it open.
When hurricane winds blow and try to bang our door shut, we must rise together, combine our individual strengths to keep it open.
When efforts are made to shut our breath out, we must endeavor to keep it moving in!
When one of us begins to fear, we must encourage.
There is plenty we do not know about where that door could lead, what it could let in, but the danger of not changing, of being static far outweighs any unknown the door could lead to.
Keeping this door open is not a one-man job; we must all do it together.
We must all band together to keep the door open, never letting it close.
We must all become one-way doormen.
