Idea 79, when enough is enought

Hi! I’m a toucan my name is tulip. My day usually starts like this: the zoo keepers (nick named cowards) feed me nauseating “dog food’’, then they make me do the most stupid tricks. I can do much better ones but they won’t allow it. They are cowards, always afraid that one day I can leave my cage and take their jobs, or fly away. I’m also afraid to leave after 20 years…

Then, kids secretly feed me! I eat all that I can. It is my secret pleasure. But I always get back to step 1, too fat to fly…

I’m thinking about how I’d prefer to be free than to live this life! I sometimes feel friendless in the zoo. I don’t like the cowards… respect and admiration is long gone. How can I leave? So I started to read this blog… about 155 ideas to freedom… do I really need ideas to have the guts? Do I really need to have something before I move on? When enough is enough? Maybe all I need is 155 reasons to leave? That’s easy… but I do have one reason to stay… what’s the reason? The comfort of the food deposited in my beak weekly… Ok… maybe I should listen to my friends, and just ignore the cowards, keep eating and aging as life goes by… why can’t I enjoy the privileges of living in this fancy zoo? Because I don’t belong here… I don’t believe that injustice is acceptable even when is convenient for me. I don’t believe that injustice is acceptable even when it not directed towards me… Can’t keep my beak shut when I see cowards having the power to give the opportunity to birds and choosing not to do so… That is true stealing… The worse kind… Reason 1 to leave injustice land and to create a place where birds have equal rights, duties and opportunities… Idea 79 is to take a courage pill... And now I'm going to enjoy this beautiful night... Good night :) :O)
