Think of being a small owl locked inside of a cage hovering ten feet off the ground. You don't know how to fly and you only know what you see and hear around you. You know that soon the cage door will open and that you can escape. But what happens when you take the first hop out of that cage? What happens after that hop is based on what you've done all the while you were locked inside. Will you simply plummet onto the ground and risk death or hop for the rest of your life? Or will you spread those wings and glide until you learn to properly take flight? I could answer this with a simple "fly" or "fall" but I don't know for sure until I take that leap. Between the time I jump and the time I get halfway to the ground, what will I do if I'm given an opportunity rather than a choice [to spread my wings]?
