Bubble Armour
My
uncle drove a bubble car. He was so big that the car was like a suit of
armour. My uncle never looked comfortable in his bubble-armour. It was
not his 'comfort zone': he was cramped and squashed in his bubble. He
came to life - and was a wonderful uncle - when he came out of his
bubble.
A teacher was driving a group of young people past a forest. He said:
"Those trees are all plastic". His story about the plastic trees became
increasingly implausible until a young girl spoke up and said the trees
were real. "Prove it" said the teacher. So the whole group got out of
the van and took the teacher down to the woods and they tried every
which way to convince him that the trees were real.
Eventually the students convinced the teacher and he said, "You are
special - most people drive past here and they wouldn't know whether
the forest is real or plastic - because they just stay in their bubbles
all day. They see nothing new. They feel nothing new. They do nothing
new. They just stay in their bubbles where the knobs and dials and
switches and controls are all in their usual places doing their usual
things."
"Remember: Don't believe what you are told. Get out of your bubbles and
find out for yourselves."
New experiences are like new bubbles. It is difficult to have a new
experience if you don't first climb out of your bubble-armour and come
to life.
