Story .... look UP for a solution : )

[Guest guest]

Story that came from another List.

 

If you put a buzzard in a pen six or eight feet square and entirely

open at the top, the bird, in spite of his ability to fly, will be an

absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins

a flight from the ground with a run of ten or twelve feet. Without

space to run, as is his habit, he will not even attempt to fly, but will

remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.

 

The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably nimble

creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on

the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no

doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can

throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.

 

A bumblebee if dropped into an open tumbler will be there until it

dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top,

but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the

bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys

itself.

 

In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat, and

the bee. They are struggling with all their problems and frustrations, not

realising that the answer is right there ABOVE them.

The solution to our problems lies in spirituality. But we are

only accustomed to looking for answers in the worldly sphere!
