Sheep

There is once a sheep, that spends its whole life being in a farm. Its life is fairly 'peaceful', it is well protected from the wolves, too young to be slaughter for money and still waiting for the time to grow wool. Complains and desire to leave the farm still occur even living under such cozy and peaceful atmosphere.

One day, the gate that used to lock all the domestic animals is unlocked (the owner forgets to lock it). All of the sudden, it is a dream comes true for all the animals in the farm. However, when given chance, it seem like they have more repercussions to consider.

" I can't fly away if someone tried to catch me outside ", said the hen. "Maybe staying in the farm and lay eggs suits me better, at least i can able to survive alongside with my chicks "

" If i were leave the farm, i will lead straight to the oven " said the turkey. " Maybe staying in the farm is better, at least i don't get roasted during Christmas "

" I'm too huge and heavy to run away. I might not even able to pass the fences " said the cow. " Maybe staying here is better, at least i have a field of green grass for me "

.......

Time for the sheep to make decision. Going out is it's biggest dream and now it is a dream comes true. Freedom is, of course, the top priority but the sheep is also considering all the cons when it leaves the farm.

Leaving the comfort zone takes more than just courage and dream. How would the sheep do to make sure survival? It will exposed to more danger, not just wolves, but also from the villagers and also their cars. Kids may throw pebbles on it whenever they see it walking through. It may steps on booby traps, set by the villagers.

Considering that, the sheep makes it's decision. " I will stay with the rest, it is way more dangerous being outside than here"

Two days later, all the animals are all slaughtered as the owner sells the farm to a developer who plans to build a resort. The owner plans to release all these animals right after he sold his farm since the developer doesn't want to keep the animal anyway. Due to their uncertainty, all of the animals end up being at 'paradise' now :D

Beside learned helplessness (refer to google.com for more info, i don't feel like explaining the term), thinking too much will bring no good. It is true that there are more obstacles that you have to face once u leave the comfort zone, but if you going to be 'slaughtered' anyway (come one, all the animals in the farm will be slaughtered eventually. this is not a fairy tale with a happy ending), why don't just leave the frying pan first? Whether or not you will end up at the stove or the floor, that is a different problem to solve.

Don't be afraid of the cons that you can imagine. There are dangers in anything that you are doing. Worrying too much doesn't help. When the opportunity is there, muster all your courage and jump out from where you are. You never know until you try ;p
