Digging Deep within ourselves (Blog 2)

Jonathon Flaum goes into great detail of explaining how as human will never get out of every situation but dig deeper through the situation to understand ourselves. Finding your Howl goes through the story of Flaum of when he was a fifth grader in Mrs. Horowitz's class. As a young fifth grader he absolutely despise his teacher for being straight up evil. She hated her students and expected the most out of every student in the class no matter who they were.
Mrs. Horowitz gave the class a creative project where the students could write about anything they wanted, the catch was the story had to be five pages in length. The only student to reach five or more pages was Flaums's friend Nick Thompson which he received an A for. The story was compromised of a tiger and his cage which the tiger wanted to escape from. The tiger would plan a elaborate escape plan yet when the tiger jumped out of his cage with his amazing leaping abilities he would find himself in another cage at another zoo.
The tiger kept jumping from cage to cage, but never realized that the world is filled with cages and zoos. Every time the tiger would jump out of his cage he would jump into a new one, the only real way for the tiger to find out where he is going and who he is to examine every spec of his cage. From the ground up and even further if possible, the tiger must accept the fact that the cage is his home yet also his prison where he will stay no matter what the circumstances are.
The parable shows us that no matter what situation we are in, there is no way out, only to plow through the situation to find a new one that is possible. We must understand where we come from and dig deep inside of ourselves to understand the meaning of why we are in the situation that we placed ourselves into. To find our identity we must search where we come from, what we are native to and what will help us progress.
