Humans are cowards by their nature. All weak animals are. It allowed them to survive, and now all we do is invent excuses.
But some humans are different. They went through harsh mind-bending life. They are not weak rodents anymore. They evolved into tigers.
Rodents are small, weak, fearful, and cowardly. But inside their tribes they may be rich, influential, even strong. They don't need to try to stand up and conquer the life itself. They can just "enjoy" their lives and breed.
But humans are not rodents. We have a greater purpose.
Yes, you may be popular, successful, "intelligent", and believe you have made it. But look into the mirror. Do you like what you see? Is this really who you are? Or maybe you are just hiding from your fears? Maybe you are behaving like a fearful rodent, distracting yourself from who you really destined to become?
This is the only life you have. And it is flowing toward its end. Are you really happy hiding behind your excuses? Don't you want to see who you really are and look into the mirror with a proud smile saying "I'm the frikking tiger!"
