RATification

You start off as a novice. Lean, scrawny, gullible. (alright, lets take in the chubby ones too) All this while you have been walking down on well treaded paths, sometimes running because someone told you that there is a treasure at the end of the rainbow . Your journey has many companions. Their fur brushes against you as you trot along. You mock them; the smelly furry lot with long tails. That’s until you notice your reflection in the mirror of damnation and realize- you yourself are a long-tailed rodent of the superfamily Muroidea- a RAT. The mirrors are all along the path.. They have always been there.. you just fail to notice yourself…. You choose this damnation…. Or perhaps are coaxed onto this path.

The ramifications of this RATification is something you realize only gradually.. Sometimes a little too late..

  1. Why compare everything with animals??? The post is self explanatory though. I think we all are like this.

    We sometimes fail to see the light at the end of the tunnel and turn into those rodents that are stuck in the drains of the tunnel, struggling to find a way out .
