[08.06.29][diary] Dongwan - Echidnas

*courtesy of wikipedia - Echidnas, also known as spiny anteaters, are four extant mammal species belonging to the Tachyglossidae family of the monotremes. Together with the Platypus, they are the only surviving members of that order. Although their diet consists largely of ants and termites, they are not actually related to the anteater species. They live in New Guinea and Australia.

Even if echidnas
Want to give each other some of their own warmth
But as the distance between them decreases, the sharp spikes on their bodies are more likely to hurt each other
As a result
There's a fear of that pain in their hearts,
And they eventually become cowards.

It's the same for children

Sooner or later they would know
When they grow up...
Alternating between getting closer and distancing themselves
Trying to find the right distance where they will not hurt each other...
