When you have spent the first months of your life with your blind mother in some abandoned tunnels underground and you go out at night only to face the darkness again..
When precisely for this reason you don’t know what humans look like or anything else from the outside world…
When you go out only to look for something to eat while your mother has taught you to fear even your own shadow…

Then think how terrified you must be when you suddenly find yourself imprisoned in a cage…
Then you don’t know to react when you see people talking to you not knowing whether this is a good or a bad thing..
Then you may think that you must go hiding all day and resurface again only at night to eat…

It may well take you even two whole years before you learn to trust the person you see every day and finally understand that she loves you…
It might take two whole years before you realise that what you are suddenly feeling inside is love…
Yes, it may take two whole years before you learn to enjoy the sunlight on your body and bask in the beautiful light without having to hide…
