Elephant and Chain

An elephant handler told me that an elephant must be trained since I was small and weak. First, the baby elephant legs tied with strong steel chain on a solid milestone. Elephants only go as far as the chain length. If he attempted to flee, steel chains would hold it. Usually, he will try to break the chain by pulling it firmly but elephants still too weak to break the steel chain.

This went on for years until embedded in the mind of the elephant that he could not escape by cutting the steel chain. Thus, the handler can bring elephants to work in fields or woods without worrying about running away. So, what's the difference between steel chain with ordinary rope, when the elephant still think that he would not be able to beat what binds her feet?

What did the elephant story also happened in your life? Do we always will be fettered and imprisoned experiences painful past?

If we are too afraid to run from the past that is not good, it will be like that of our future. As imperfect beings we should not continue to dissolve in ugliness, do and try new things. Do not be rigid and selfish, confident that God is Just and Merciful. God will always help and accompany our footsteps.

"The past is memory, today is a gift and the future is hopeless." Make the past as a whip to our resurrection is not to stop our steps.
