Are we rats?

Do you believe that we cry everyday, even if there are no tears in our eyes. There has always been a perception that those who cry are weak and sensitive and they cry because they are not meant to be a part of this rat race. But who really wants to be in the rat race, where every rat is not competing, but trying to be a better rat, at the end they are all rats. We all know what rats do, they hide when the owner comes, they steal when the owner is away, and gets killed one day by the owner or becomes so fat that it dies of over-eating. Do you really want to be like that? I chose not to be a rat, and rather cry everyday, because it gives me the pleasure of doing things a rat can't do. I don't want to hide if I am having a piece of bread, I don't want to hide if I am trying to be myself, I don't even want to hide any part of me which makes me comfortable. Can we ever live a life, where we really be humans?
