Me, myself and me.

Imagine we could have a real life button that SAVES. Or perhaps some kind of a NSRI or SPCA for human relationships...
A life jacket is the only equipment, offered to save you, when your out at sea, in the case of an emergency.
Its purpose is to prevent you from drowning.
No one else can wear the jacket for you. No one else can save you. Your options consist of kicking against the waves and fight the powerful waters of the ocean, or to just go with it.

One of the things an air hostess instructs, before departing, is to place the oxygen mask over yourself first, in the event of the aeroplane de-pressurizing, only after doing so, you can try an assist/help someone else.

In nature, there are various ways of surviving.
Most animals and plants, have the skill to camouflage. Some techniques vary. Mimicry is a technique that consists of adaptation. Adapting to look like something else. An example of this is the hawkmoth that looks like a dead leaf. This way its enemies cant make the distinction between a leaf or a piece of food. A camel for instance, can go a week or more without water, and they can last for several months without food.

As humans, some of us tend to go with the option of camouflaging. By becoming transparent to the world, we feel protected, safe, untouchable.
However, this might work for animals, but in the long run, humans cant really survive this way. Its like playing hide and seek with no one seeking. Good luck.

People panic when they find themselves lost. Look at Quick sand... If you panic and struggle, you'll sink. If you relax however, your body's buoyancy will cause you to float. By being patient, and not aggravating the situation more, you'll find yourself being able to shift your focus and utilise your energy more specifically orientated...
“What we actually learn, from any given set of circumstances, determines whether we become increasingly powerless or more powerful.”

By acknowledging the present and embracing it, being true to the situation, your chances of survival are larger than trying to fight the inevitable. I have personally experienced this feeling of being lost in this over populated world. Sometimes I just want to raise my white flag or tattoo SOS on my forehead, but I dont think this will make a difference.

No one can rescue you, you have to rescue yourself. You can choose to drown or hold your breath for a couple of seconds and revive yourself....ask yourself.....


What have you got to loose?
