yaY! 
I can finally post with a YouTube Video!
My first thought when watching this was: That poor kiwi is going to die for its dream to fly 
… But this is exactly what life is about isn’t it??
I suppose the film in short, represents ‘Peer Pressure Gone Wrong’ since the little kiwi wanted to achieve something that all the other birds in the neighbourhood could do… fly.
It’s my belief that people have this Self Preservation Mechanism which tells us to be weary of those who are a little different from us. What’s wrong with being different? 
Well, nothing really, it kind of just depends on whose eyes you look through.
We all know that pressure, the pressure to find our place in society and act our role, period. This is the social contract which we signed at birth 
- Option A: To follow the rules and restrictions to fit in to society
(which also allows for special exceptions for those who earn it) or - Option B: To be different and looked upon as abnormal or strange.
We’re all expected to go through both stages. You know, the typical “Teenage Rebellion” thing, and then we later grow up and learn to be “Responsible Adults” (although some people never seem to reach this stage 
). But really, by being rebellious and different is just another way to fit in to society isn’t it?
hRmm… I guess one of the toughest things we struggle to deal with is to be able to find a balance between being an individual and ‘fitting in’ (collectivist). To perhaps avoid becoming just another person brainwashed by society 
forced to think in a certain way, to believe in some specific values etc. all set out by society, but at the same time accepted by our peers.
When I first entered OHCWA (Oral Health Center of WA) to study Dental Hygiene, a lecturer jokingly warned us that we would all be brainwashed by the Dental School. He was right. I went in not knowing I would become dentally obsessed
It took me a while to realise that life is NOT only about teeth, that sometimes teeth aren’t exactly top priority in the minds of people, and that it’s OK! … to an extent …
Soo ….. I’ve lost track of what I was writing about. All in all, don’t be scared to be an individual… a TRUE individual. Sure there’ll be people pointing, staring and whispering about you, but no matter how alone you think you are, there’s someone out there who is as freaky as you (or even more so ).
I mean come on! There’s HOW many billion people on this Earth? Do you really think you’re that unique?
