Dr. House and the wings

Now, i was watching the 1st show of the 5th season of Dr. House in my portuguese TV, and there was a bit where two ladies, a doctor and a pacient, are chatting...the doctor doesnt agree with what the patient is doing with her life...in fact, she works for another person and shes treated as if she had no value...the doctor is giving an advice to the patient, telling her to fight for her and to not let other people treat her so badly...but it seems the patient is used to that, she doesnt want to change....and she said a phrase i think its so beautiful (im not sure if the words are the same, but the idea is there):

«I'd rather live with the birds, than to be all my life dreaming about having wings.»

and these words touched me so much, maybe because im a bit like her....well, im not saying people treat me badly, not at all...what im saying is that i avoid living dreaming about wings or about anything else....i prefer to see the world passing by, i see the things as they are, and i dont try to change anybody nor anything....i dont try to change myself.....i see the others fighting for their dreams, i see the others "flying" and i accept i cant fly....i know i will never have wings, so why wait for something that will never happen? its so much easier to see the birds flying, isnt it?

i think Dr. House is one of the best shows ive ever seen in all my life....not only the stories are very interesting but also the personality of Dr. House is so rich and intelligent that even watching some of his kind of "cruel" and "cold" attitudes, we cant deny to feel some attraction by his way of being....and also a huge respect for somebody who, in the most complicated and weird situations, always finds the solution :-)

in Dr. Houses case, it seems he doesnt waste his time dreaming about having wings or not....he is as he is, and everybody must accept him as he is, cos, in spite of all, hes really good in what he does :-)


cant wait for the next shows!
