So are you a race horse or are you a wild horse ?
If you are a race horse, you get to spend all your life in a set place where you race for some owner, boss or entity until you retire and where you are provided food (security) and accomodation, where all you have to do is to diligently do the work you are asked to do, which is to race around. Your world is within that race course. And you are kept safe and sound there. Don’t hold lofty dreams of freedom here, just do what you are expected to do. Mutual dependence and ordered life is the key here.
If you are a wild horse, you spend your life out in the open, where there is little security (you are out in the wild), where you travel to mountains, deserts, all around, where you eat what you find, and sleep where ever gives you the best shelter. You have to decide your course of actions every day. You are always on the move. No restrictions, No security, out in the wild. Move forward and forge your own confusing paths amidst all the dangers out in the open, where there is none to protect you. Self-reliance and contradictory life is the key here.
One has to choose whether they seek to be a race horse or a wild horse. Being both at once is impossible. So find your way and move ahead. You can switch between a race horse and a wild horse but don’t hold on to both. You will only be torn apart!
