Living with limitations to gain self freedom
<p>One day, a snake slithered into a cozy rabbit burrow. The rabbits pressed themselves fearfully against the walls — never before had such a guest entered their home. But the snake spoke in a soft, gentle voice:</p><p>"Don't be afraid of me... I'm terribly lonely. I have no friends, and I long for warmth. I carry ancient wisdom I wish to share with you."</p><p>The rabbits exchanged wary glances but decided to give her a chance. They listened to her stories and legends, enchanted by her quiet, mesmerizing whisper. She spoke like a philosopher...</p><p>Until she bit one of them — and disappeared.</p><p>The next evening, she returned.</p><p>"Please don’t turn me away," she pleaded. "You know I’m a snake. It’s hard for me not to bite. But I'm trying. Friends should accept each other’s flaws, shouldn’t they?"</p><p>The rabbits hesitated, but once again allowed her in.</p><p>Once again — gentle conversations, tales, soft words...</p><p>And once again — a sudden, sharp bite.</p><p>On the third day, the burrow was sealed with a stone.</p><p>The snake coiled around it, hissing, begging, whispering promises to change, pleading for just one more chance. But no one came out.</p><p>"There’s no place in this world for those who think deeper!" she hissed bitterly and slithered away into the darkness.</p><p>Sometimes poisonous creatures wrap themselves in eloquence, calling themselves wise and misunderstood — just to strike again when trust is given.</p><p>Never forget: if someone hurts you again and again — even behind a mask of sincerity, even with beautiful words and profound quotes — don’t open your heart to them anymore.</p><p>Being kind doesn’t mean tolerating endless pain.</p><p><br></p><p>Classclosed.</p>
