All of You Know the Grizzly Bears ...                               by  Lyuba Stevasarova All of you know the grizzly bears-those huge mean creatures. Let me tell you a story you may have alreday heard . Two friends are walking side by side in a forest. Some hundred meters away from them, as they were walking and enjoying the fresh air, they saw one of these bears staring at them. Having seen the ferocious animal realized that they were about to become its breakfast, they both froze. One of them asked: - And now what? What should we do? - We have to run. We don't have any other choice if we want to stay alive-the other answered. This proposal seemed ridiculous to the first one. - Are you crazy! A grizzly runs like a horse. None of us can outrun it. Or can you? - Of course I can't . But for me it's enough to outrun you. I am running...faster...passing by happy moments I couldn't experienced, stepping over old-forgotten feelings. It has no end. I am running but I don't know why. All my life I've been trying to be the best. Today I realize that no one can ever be the best, one can just be better than the rest. That's what I am trying to do-to outrun the others. And together with them my dignity, my emotions, my humanity. Is that reallly the only way to survive? ©2004, 2005 Lyuba Stevasarova _______________ Lyuba Stevasarova is a Bulgarian girl who once wanted to become a ballerina.
