Be like the birds...3mena Victor Hugo

"Be like the bird that, passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings." 


It's quite romantic picturing us as birds. We hatch in one place, perhaps Eden, and then we either fly off to other destinations in hope of a better life, or we are moved by winds we can't control. 


The winds take us as they may, to greener planes, to deserts...anywhere. Like Confucius astutely noted, "remember no matter where you go, there you are." 


So at the end of the day, there is no good or bad, just different a different place. Experiencing different winds and different climates. Sure, there is bad I suppose - I guess the strong will be tested.


But to wrap up with a third quote, from 3m Shakespeare, "there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so..."
