Survival of the Fittest
April 19, 2013
Albert Einstein said,
“Everybody is a genius.
But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,
it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.”
She was the fish.
She cannot climb trees.
To herself, she was stupid.
She built a mask.
She forced herself to change
She had to change.
A unique case of
survival of the fittest.
Society forced her to conform.
To herself, deep inside her fishy body,
she was still stupid.
