Little Girl Captures The Greatest Fears of Humanity on Monkey Bars

We all know the feeling: its the one fear which all of humanity has been grappling with since the moment of our births. The “I need you! I don’t need you!” inner struggle we all face as we swing from the monkey bars OF LIFE (Oh! Symbolism!), fearful of plummeting to our demise–or, in this case, the demise of our knees.

Now, you can read all the philosophy books and spend endless hours trying to understand man’s (and woman’s) complex need for both independence and security, or you can watch this little girl’s expression switch between cold, hard fear and anxious excitement as she yells for her father’s assistance from one bar, only to cast him off at the next.

She doesn’t know that, this feeling right here, is what life’s all about.

All my love!

  1. I have seen this video prior to reading your post, i love your take on it.
    it is true life is a struggle like that.

    • Aww, thank you! I really wasn’t trying to be all that philosophical. Just wanted to share a video that I thought was cute without saying so :p

      Although, I do think that this struggle is mostly what life comes down to. And that a lot can be learned about humanity and human nature by observing the honesty of children.
